Laser Hair Removal Source (Female and Male)
Laser treatment targets the dark color of the melanin pigment in the hair follicle.
Thus, the root of the hair is compromised with the little effect on the skin and surrounding tissue.
Since melanin is only produced during the growth phase, the laser light must target the hair follicle
during the appropriate portion of cycle. Even in one given body part, not all follicles are in the growth
phase of the cycle at the same time. Thus, these treatments need to be repeated at strategically spaced
intervals over the course of the hair cycles. This assures us of subsequent hair growth prevention and that
hair follicles are disabled. Most individuals will require a series of treatments over time, which will
result on the removal of unwanted hair. Most of the lasers and light sources are FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction,
which means reduction over time. Some individuals will see very long term hair removal, which may last for
many years. Others may require maintenance treatments over time to maintain their degree of hair loss.
It is truly impossible to determine in advance who will require how many treatments and how long the hair will
remain gone. Various types of lasers are utilized with laser hair removal- the most common of which are
alexandrite, diode, YAG and intense pulse light sources.
