Hair Removal

About hair removal

Laser hair removal treatments involve delivering pulses of laser light to the area. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicles, disabling their ability to grow new hair, roots without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin. This advanced technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatment of electrolysis and puts to an end the tedious routines of shaving and waxing.

Hair Removal How Does it Works

How Does it Work

The laser slows down the growing capacity of hair follicles in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Some hair follicles may be in the resting cycle and not enter their growth cycle until after your treatment, which is why multiple treatments are often required to deliver optimal results.

The sensation during laser hair reduction ranges from discomfort to something like the sting of a rubber band snapping against your skin.

Electrolysis is a much slower process in which a needle is inserted into each hair follicle, one at a time. Once inserted, an electric shock burns the follicle to retard hair growth. Laser hair removal uses the light of the laser to scan the treatment area and within seconds all of the pigmented hairs in the laser’s beam are treated. Patients who have had both procedures say that laser hair removal is less painful, faster and more convenient.

Due to the staggered nature of the hair growth cycle, in which some hairs are actively growing while others are dormant, laser hair removal requires multiple treatments to catch each hair as it enters the “active” growth phase. The number of laser hair removal treatments varies from person to person and is best determined during consultation. Most patients require 4-6 hair removal treatments, spread out between 4-6 week intervals.
