Laser Hair Reduction

What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser hair removal is a hair removal technique that can provide long-term reduction of hair growth by damaging or destroying the hair follicle. After six to eight sessions, one can expect a reduction of 65 to 90 percent in hair growth, with a few maintenance sessions required thereafter. The delay in hair growth after laser hair reduction is significant compared to other methods like waxing, threading or bleaching, and even the thickness of the hair changes from terminal hair to vellus hair or thick hair to baby hair.

Each hair follicle goes through a hair cycle with four phases – the anagen phase (growing phase), catagen (transition phase), telogen phase (resting phase), and exogen (shedding phase). As laser energy focuses only on the hair follicles in the anagen phase, multiple sessions are needed to target all the hair follicles.

Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light energy that targets the hair follicles. The melanin pigment or dark pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light energy, and this leads to the destruction of the hair follicles.

The procedure works by targeting the pigment in individual hairs using light that travels down the hair shaft and into the follicle. The heat generated from the laser light damages the follicle, preventing further hair growth. It’s important to note that only recently removed hair in its growing phase will be visible during the procedure. For best results, most people require several treatments over the course of 2 to 3 months.

Laser hair removal is most effective for those with dark hair and light skin, as the laser is attracted to the melanin pigment in the hair. Those with darker skin require a special type of laser that can detect the hair against their skin, while those with light hair are less ideal candidates and may not see drastic results since the laser doesn’t focus well on non-pigmented hair. It’s important to note that laser hair removal is not effective for blonde, gray, or white hairs.
