Service Description

Laser hair removal uses light to target the pigment in individual hairs. The light travels down the shaft of the hair and into the hair follicle.The heat from the laser light destroys the hair follicle, and a hair can no longer grow from it.Hair follows a unique growth cycle that involves resting, shedding, and growing periods. Recently removed hair that is in a resting phase will not be visible to the technician or laser, so a person may need to wait until it regrows before removing it.For most people, laser hair removal requires several treatments over the course of 2 to 3 months. How Does Laser Hair Removal Work? Targeting the hair’s pigment, the laser travels down to the base of the unwanted hair follicle, damaging the follicle so that it will stop producing hair. Using selective photothermolysis (SPTL), the laser uses a specific wavelength of light and pulse duration to target the melanin (i.e., the pigment) in the area without damaging the surrounding tissue (your skin). The hair follicle heats up and becomes damaged, hindering future hair growth. Because the laser relies on color discrepancy to accurately target the hair follicle, darker hair colors (black, brown) are easier to treat than lighter hair colors (white, gray, blond), and coarse hair is easier than fine hair. Although the treated hair probably won’t fall out immediately, it should be gone within 10-14 days of your treatment. You can expect to reduce the hair in the area by 80-90%. Why are multiple treatments necessary? Hair grows in three different stages (growth, rest, and transition). At the time of your first treatment, some hair follicles will be growing, some will be resting, and some will be transitioning. This is important to note because the laser can only effectively treat hairs that are in the growing phase (also known as the anagen phase). To target every hair in the area, the treatment will need to be repeated 3-6 times, to catch every hair in its anagen phase. ***Small Area -Brows, Chin, Ears, Feet, Hands, Neck, Upper Lip, Areola/Nipple, Sideburn ***Medium Area -Bikini, Face and Neck, Navel, Underarms, Buttock ***Large Area -Brazilian, Chest, Half Arms, Half Back, Half Legs, Shoulders, Stomach
