Hair grows in 3 cycles: Active, dormant and shedding/falling out stage. Laser hair removal is effective during the active stage, which is why multiple treatments are necessary to achieve desired results. The hair follicle absorbs the laser light and then converts to heat. The heat damages the follicle and destroys its ability to re-grow. Significantly less hair grows back with each treatment… ultimately resulting in your goal of permanent hair reduction. This treatment may not be performed during pregnancy
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
The number of treatments varies from person to person. Hair growth cycles differ on different parts of the body. Your skin, hair color, coarseness of hair as well as age and metabolism all influence hair growth.
