Permanent Hair Reduction
There are many ways to remove excess hair, but they are often tedious, painful, expensive, or all three. Laser hair reduction is growing in popularity because it is convenient, less expensive, and now painless. If you are looking for long-term hairlessness and permanent hair reduction, laser hair reduction is the right thing for you.
Understanding Laser Hair Removal:
When laser light shines on your skin, it is absorbed more by the hair follicle than by the surrounding skin, mostly because the hair tends to have more pigment than the surrounding skin. This allows the laser to damage the hair follicle without harming your skin.
Laser hair removal works best on hair that is in the Anagen or growth phase. During this phase, hair follicles have more pigment than at other times, making them more susceptible to laser energy. At any given time, almost 90% of your hair is in this phase, but because not all of your hair is in this phase at once, it requires several treatments to achieve maximum results.
Laser hair removal can be used on virtually any part of the body including:
- Upper lip and face
- Sideburns
- Underarms
- Back
- Arms
- Legs
- Bikini area
Benifits:
Multiple treatments are necessary, with the number depending on your hair and skin colour as well as the amount of hair in its dormant phase. On average, three to five sessions are necessary to achieve maximal results. Overall, you can expect an 85% permanent reduction of hair in the treated area.
