How does a laser or light-based system remove hair?
The system emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. Upon absorption, the energy is transformed into heat, which can disable the follicle, while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for laser hair removal?
Generally speaking, as long as the hairs you are concerned about have colour in them you are probably a good candidate for laser hair reduction.
Is the treatment painful?
Most individuals describe the treatment as a series of slight pin pricks or rubber band snaps to the skin. Cool air is directed on to the area being treated to ensure that any discomfort is kept to a minimum. After the treatment the area can sometimes feel slightly tingly, but this sensation normally subsides within a few minutes
How long does it take?
With this procedure numerous hairs are removed at the same time. The amount of time needed depends on the size of the area to be treated. Small areas like the lip can be treated in a few minutes; other areas, such as the leg, may take significantly longer.
How many treatments will be necessary?
Hair grows in cycles. The laser or pulsed light only affects hair when it is in its early growth phase. In fact, the system will disable follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment. At any time, some hair follicles are dormant. Repeated sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.
