This is a prime example of what NOT to do during laser hair removal. Holding the handpiece at an angle instead of perfectly perpendicular means the energy isn’t reaching the hair follicle at all.

If you ever see a technician using this terrible technique, protect your skin and your wallet by stopping the treatment and leaving immediately.
