Laser Hair Removal is based on the principle of ’Selective Photothermolysis’

The Laser energy is delivered to the treatment area in such a way as to maximize tissue damage to the hair follicle while sparing the skin and surrounding tissues.

Understanding Hair Growth

Each of your hair follicles is in one of 3 stages of growth at any given time. The "active growth" (anagen) phase, "regressive" (categen) phase, and "resting" (telogen) phase. Laser hair removal is most effective at disabling "actively growing" hairs during treatment. It is during anagen that the hair shaft contains the greatest abundance of melanin, the target of the laser light. Many hair follicles are in their resting or regressive stages at any given time. The length of growth cycle also vary slightly by body area. Your Laser Hair Removal plan will be customized to obtain optimal results. Depending on hair density, coarseness, growth cycle, and area to be treated, clients are counseled on the use of IPL, Diode or ND Yag laser for hair removal treatment.

About Melanin

Melanin is the pigment which gives colour to both hair and skin. Much more melanin is present in hair than in skin, and this property allows relatively more absorption of laser light energy in hair than in the skin.
