Laser Hair process
Laser hair removal is a safe, painless and long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. A beam of intense laser light is focused on the targeted area where the hair needs to be removed. The beam of light reaches inside of the top layer of skin, gets converted into heat energy and causes disintegration of the targeted hair. The outer skin remains unharmed because the procedure is combined with a unique cooling process to keep the outer skin cool and comfortable. As we can only target hairs in the active growth cycle it usually takes 5-6 treatments to achieve complete results.
HOW IT WORKS
The Science Behind It
Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light (lasers) to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The process involves several key steps:
Targeting the Hair Follicle: The laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. The energy from the laser heats up the follicle, damaging it and inhibiting future hair growth.
Hair Growth Cycles: Hair grows in cycles—anagen (active growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase, when hair is actively growing.
Skin Safety: Modern lasers are designed to target hair while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Many devices also include cooling mechanisms to protect the skin during treatment.
