For many women and men unwanted hair can be a nuisance, or even a nightmare. Removing hair used to be uncomfortable, inconvenient and time-consuming but with the advanced medical laser this has all changed. We can remove hair safely and effectively from just about any area of the body where smooth skin is desired: underarms, face, neck, legs, shoulders, back and bikini line.
Hair grows in three distinctive cycles. First the active growth cycle (Anagen phase), next the regression cycle (Catagen phase) and finally the fall-out cycle (Telogen phase). Medical Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen cycle. Therefore, the number of treatments average between 4 to 6 over a period of several weeks.
The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light and converts the light to heat. The heat in turn damages the hair follicle and destroys its ability to re-grow. It is important to treat each follicle during the growth cycle (Anagen) for maximum hair reduction.
The laser pulses for just a fraction of a second, heating the hair follicle and impairing its ability to re-grow. Significantly less hair grows back with each treatment, ultimately resulting in your goal of permanent hair reduction.
