Laser hair removal is becoming one of the most popular hair removal methods in the United States, and for good reasons. It is highly effective for removing unwanted hair from a wide range of areas on most people, it has more lasting results, it is less painful than many other hair removal methods, and has never been more affordable.
Laser Hair Removal Process

During the treatment, a beam of concentrated light is aimed at the hair follicle on the treatment area. The laser then proceeds to damage each hair follicle, causing the hair to stop growing indefinitely! Because the laser reaches below the skin, you will no longer have any hair on the treated area!
It is clear that shaving, waxing, and plucking require a lot more time and money for the smooth skin you want. |

During laser hair removal, the device emits light energy that travels through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft. Pigments are the substances that give skin and hair its color. This energy damages the hair follicle, which impairs its ability to grow.
Hair follicles that are in the anagen, or active growth phase, have more pigment and absorb more energy, and typically respond best to treatments. For this reason, it takes multiple treatments to achieve the best results – it’s important to “catch” your hair in this active growth phase when you are receiving treatments. |
