Laser Hair Reduction: 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.
