Painless and Hygienic
Laser hair removal is a safe alternative to remove unwanted facial or body hair while eliminating razor burn and the “shadow” effect caused by shaving. It is most effective on hairs that are actively growing (anagen phase). Because each hair on your body is in a different stage of growth, you need multiple laser hair removal sessions to effectively target all unwanted body hair.
The Technology
Photoepilation using either laser or pulsed light systems is based on selective photothermolysis theory. With the right choice of wavelength, fluence and pulse duration, it is possible to obtain selective thermal damage over a specific target, just minimizing harmful effects to the surrounding tissues.
In hair removal treatments, the target to be destroyed is the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the melanin contained in the hair which acts as an “intermediary” to transmit damaging heat inside the follicle.
