Lasers use pulsating light beams to destroy the hair follicles.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Lasers are indeed used to destroy hair follicles. Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicles and inhibits future hair growth. The pulsating nature of the light beam allows for precise targeting and controlled energy delivery, ensuring effective destruction of the follicles while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Therefore, the statement "Lasers use pulsating light beams to destroy the hair follicles" is true.Rate this question:
