Did you know that Laser hair removal is the most popular method of permanent hair reduction? Well it is, both men and women prefer laser hair removal to the hassle and short lasting results of shaving, tweezing and waxing. With Laser hair removal, unwanted body hair that grows on the chin and lip, chest, back, legs, underarms, the bikini area and virtually any other area of the body is safely and effectively targeted, providing long term results that leave behind smooth and silky skin.

HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?

Laser hair removal works by targeting melanin, the pigment in our nails and hair that absorbs light. During a laser hair removal session, the cosmetic laser safely blasts each hair with bursts of high energy light which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair’s root. Absorbing this energy effectively destroys the hair follicle, halting hair growth and damaging the hair’s ability to grow back.
Laser hair removal requires several sessions to effectively treat the entire area of unwanted body hair. This is because hair grows in 3 different phases. During the anagen phase, or the stage of active growth, the hair contains the most melanin. In order for the energy from the cosmetic laser to destroy the hair follicle, the light must be absorbed by the melanin found in the hair’s root during the anagen phase.
