During laser hair removal, a laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it usually does not result in permanent hair removal. Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well. Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types.
Repeated treatments are usually necessary because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage. Despite years of practice, results continue to vary significantly from patient to patient and are difficult to predict.
If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should stop plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for 6 weeks prior.
The laser targets hair roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking. You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and make complications are treatment more likely.
Some clients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation, and some areas may be more sensitive than others depending on the client.
Depending on the area being treated, anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour.
On average, 6-8 treatments are required, however, this will vary for each individual.
