What You Need to Know:

Hair revolves through three phases of growth. It is only during the growth phase that hair reacts to laser light. The goal in hair reduction is for laser light to penetrate to the depth of the hair follicle during the growth phase to achieve long terms results. The duration of hair growth cycles varies as to the body location being treated. The laser can only eliminate the hair that is currently in the growth phase. Multiple treatments are necessary over consistently spaced at weekly intervals in order to successfully remove hair from most areas. Following the recommendations, number of treatments and treatment schedule outlined by a Skin Specialist is an important step to successful permanent hair reduction. Final results may not be apparent for several months following the Laser Hair Removal treatments.

It is important to understand that Laser Hair Removal provides a permanent reduction, not the permanent removal of all unwanted hair. On average, each laser treatment will be associated with some permanent hair loss. A realistic goal is not total hair removal, but a reasonable degree of hair reduction. Hair that remains is often lighter in color and thinner that the original hair prior to the laser treatments. Laser Hair Removal is an extremely popular and highly effective solution for dealing with unwanted hair.
