THE BEST METHOD FOR REMOVING UNWANTED HAIR & RECURRING STUBBLE

How does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted hair using a concentrated beam of light which penetrates the skin, targeting the hair follicles. The procedure is safe, effective, and has shown long-lasting results on many individuals. Here are some of the benefits of laser hair removal treatment:

 

1. Permanent hair reduction: Laser hair removal treatment targets the hair follicle, thereby removing hair, minimizing the possibility of regrowth.

 

2. Minimal pain: Compared to other hair removal methods such as waxing, threading, or plucking, laser hair removal treatment is virtually pain-free. Many patients can tolerate treatments without significant discomfort, especially with newer technology lasers like the diode which features comfortable air-cooling technology.

 

3. Saves time and money: Laser hair removal is much more long-lasting than other hair removal methods, which can save a significant amount of time and money. Patients who undergo laser hair removal typically require fewer treatments, and results can last for years or even be permanent.

 

4. Suitable for various skin types: Laser hair removal can be tailored to meet individuals' needs for a wide range of skin types and hair colors, unlike other hair removal methods such as waxing, which favors lighter skin and hair colors.

 

5. Precision: The laser targets hair follicles specifically, meaning that there is no damage to surrounding skin tissues. This gives a precise result with fewer side effects.

 

If you want to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin without going through the hassle and cost of frequent hair removal, then laser hair removal may be right for you. It's an effective and long-lasting solution that will make a positive difference in your life.

UNDERSTAND YOUR HAIR GROWTH

Hair growth occurs in three stages: the anagen phase, catagen phase, and telogen phase.

Each hair on your body can be in a different phase than the neighboring strand, which is why multiple treatments are needed to target each hair during its anagen phase.

 

Most clients will need six to ten treatments to achieve long-lasting hair reduction.

ANAGEN

The anagen phase is when hair is still attached to the skin’s dermis and receives blood supply and nutrients through the follicle. Hence why, the anagen phase is commonly referred to as the active growth stage.

CATAGEN

The catagen phase, known as the transition phase, is when hair follicles shrink and detach from the nutrient supply.

TELOGEN

The telogen phase, or the resting phase, is when the loose hair rests in the follicle until it is pushed out by the growth of a new anagen hair.
