Unwanted hair is a common problem, for both men and women. Frequent hair removal tasks including shaving, depilatories, plucking, and waxing can be time-consuming, inconvenient and often painful. At best, these methods offer only temporary results β for some only a few hours. Free yourself from the constant need to shave and wax unwanted facial and body hair and feel your best.
Laser technology has brought us a permanent solution to remove unwanted hair, leaving skin feeling smooth and healthy. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, laser hair removal is the 3 rd most performed non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the US. Laser hair removal gives you effective, permanent hair reduction anywhere on your body including the face, legs, back, underarms or bikini line.
Treatments are quick and easy letting you get back to your everyday activities. Below is an overview and how a laser is uniquely able to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Hair grows from deep within hair follicles, which are embedded in the skin.
Hair does not grow continuously, but in a three-phase cycle. While the rate at which hair grows differs by individual, the length of the hair growth cycle generally depends on the type of hair.
For example, the active growth phase of the hair on your head may last several years, while hair on the body has an active growth phase that may last only a few months. During laser hair removal, a laser 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.
