A Complete Guide To Laser Hair Removal

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways of achieving permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is safe and effective in permanently reducing hair growth. Laser hair removal works on the principle of selective photo thermolysis. The wavelength of the laser targets the chromophore which is the melanin within the hair follicle. Laser hair removal destroys the root of the hair deep within the skin. Resulting in a permanent reduction in hair.

A minimum 8-12 sessions are required of laser hair removal, to gain optimum results. Treatments are carried out 4-6 weekly which is in sync with the hair growth cycle. Each visit around 20% of hairs is in the Anagen phase which is known as the active growth phase. Only the hairs in the Anagen phase are destroyed by the laser. This is the reason why multiple sessions of laser hair removal are required.

The Benefits Of Laser Hair Removal

The benefits of laser hair removal offer a permanent reduction to hair growth and parameter destruction of the hair follicle. Unlike epilating and waxing which offer a temporary reduction in hair. Laser hair removal offers permanent reduction over a longer period of time. With 8-12 sessions the hair growth will be reduced up to 75%. A maintenance session is needed.

Laser hair removal does not irritate the skin, unlike waxing, shaving or epilating. In addition, Laser Hair Removal gives You lasting results and hair can take weeks or months to grow back. Eventually, you will note that in some of the body parts you will be completely hairless.

What Laser Hair Removal Feels Like

The most you should feel with laser hair removal is a warm sensation. Our therapists will guide you through each treatment and work towards achieving your long-term goals. Each session the therapist will speak to you about the sensation you are feeling throughout the treatment. However, if you’ve ever had a wax (which most of us have) it is extremely bearable by comparison.
