Facial: Laser hair removal works by a principle called Selective
Photothermolysis. The laser is pulsed (turned on) for a millisecond emitting a
beam of light on to the skin. The light energy passes harmlessly through the
skin, but is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft. By
absorbing this laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their
ability to grow. Hair does not actively grow at the same time, and has three
stages during the growth cycle.
The hair follicles in the first stage of growth are the darkest and absorb the
most energy. A patented Chill Tip cooling hand piece protects the outer layer
of skin, and has a mild anesthetic property allowing areas to be treated as
painlessly as possible. Clients will normally come in for a series of
treatments depending on the area being treated and the characteristics of their
hair.
