Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses light to target the pigment in individual hairs. The light travels down the shaft of the hair and into the hair follicle.
The heat from the laser light destroys the hair follicle, and a hair can no longer grow from it.
Hair follows a unique growth cycle that involves resting, shedding, and growing periods.
The laser targets the melanin in the hair during Active growth phase .This phase offers the best chance for the laser to effectively damage the hair follicle.
Recently removed hair that is in a resting phase will not be visible to the technician or laser, so a person may need to wait until it regrows before removing it. For most people, laser hair removal requires several treatments over the course of 2 to 3 months.
How long does laser hair removal last?
Laser hair removal is permanent when the hair follicle is destroyed. When the hair follicle is only damaged, the hair will eventually regrow.
The amount of time it takes for the hair to regrow depends on the person’s unique hair growth cycle. Some people have hair that grows more quickly than others. Hair that is in a resting phase will grow back more slowly than hair that is in another phase.
Most people can expect some hair regrowth within a few months. Once this happens, they can opt for more removal treatments.
Does skin or hair color make a difference?
- Hair removal works best on people with light complexions who have dark hair. This is because the pigment contrast makes it easier for the laser to target the hair, travel into the follicle, and destroy the follicle.People with dark skin or light hair may need more treatments than others and may find that more hair grows back.Considerations:
- Shaving: The treatment area is usually shaved a day before the procedure to allow the laser to penetrate the hair follicle without burning surface hair.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Patients are often advised to avoid sun exposure before and after treatment.

Hello, I was wondering about your laser hair removal for my niece. She is 18 and would like work done on her back, legs, and underarms. I saw that you have a Groupon online and wondering what one session entails.
Thank you, Suzy
