Until the last few years, shaving, plucking, waxing,
and electrolysis were the only methods of removing
unwanted hair. In the early 1990's, the first reports
of using laser energy to selectively damage and disable
actively growing hair follicles were published, and
since the mid 1990's, laser hair removal has become
the "Gold Standard" method for hair removal.

There are several laser hair removal systems available
today, but they all work using the principal of selective
photothermolysis, in which a carefully timed pulse
of laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed
and converted to heat energy at the hair follicle.
The generated heat energy is designed to destroy the
hair follicle so it cannot grow back.
Who is the Best Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal works best in lighter skinned,
darker haired patients. Because the primary target
in hair follicles is melanin pigment, less laser energy
is absorbed by the skin and more by the hair follicle.
Tanned skin also "robs" laser energy as it passes through
the skin to the hair follicle. Because the pigment
in the hair is the target for the laser energy, gray
or white hair (which lacks pigment) cannot be effectively
treated with any laser or light-based device.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Multiple laser treatments are necessary for best results.
Laser energy has its greatest effect on growing, or
anagen hair follicles; as the dormant, or telogen hairs
become active, usually within 3 weeks to 3 months,
some new hair growth will be observed. Usually at least
3 treatments over the course of a year will be necessary
for satisfactory, long-lasting results. The female
face, armpits, and bikini lines are areas which respond
fastest to laser treatments- backs, arms and legs usually
need more treatments over time. The scalp is very resistant
to treatment.
What About Side Effects?
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar
to a sunburn, may occur in some clients. These effects
typically last 24 hours or less. In some instances,
blistering may occur. Your consultant will review with
you the potential side effects from Laser Hair Removal.
