How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a successful and proven method to achieve affordable, long-term hair reduction. If you are looking for a laser hair removal service in Tucson, visit New Looks Laser Center. This latest laser technology works by emitting a specialized light that is passed through the skin and preferentially absorbed by the hair follicle.

The laser targets the melanin, or color, in the hair follicle which damages the follicle and painlessly removes the hair. Its ability to pass deep into the skin makes this laser especially effective for larger, deeper hairs found in the bikini area, armpits, back, chest, legs and the male beard. Laser hair removal is virtually pain free with most people describing the sensation as feeling like someone snapping a small rubber band against their skin. Get yourself ready for Tucson summers with simple, affordable laser hair removal treatment.

After your laser hair removal treatment it can take 6 to 12 weeks for hair to grow from the base of the follicle to the surface of the skin; therefore, only a portion of your hair is being treated in the proper state with each laser treatment. Therefore it is initially recommended to undergo a series of four to eight laser hair removal treatments at four to eight week intervals to treat all the hair.
Repeat laser hair removal treatments can be performed as soon as four to six weeks apart. Usually at least three treatments will be necessary over the course of a year for satisfactory, long-lasting results. The female face, armpits and bikini lines are areas that respond fastest to laser hair removal treatment. The back, arms and legs usually need more hair removal treatments over time.

Everyone's hair grows differently, depending on age, weight, metabolism, hormones, ethnicity, medications and other factors; but all hair goes through three distinct growth phases:

Active Growth Phase (called the anagen phase) which can last up to several years. At any given time, the majority (85%) of our body hair is in this phase. During anagen, the hair has an abundance of melanin.

Regressive Phase (catagen phase) lasts about two weeks, during which the hair stops growing but is not yet shed. About 3 - 4% of our body hair is in this phase at any given time.

Resting Phase (telogen phase) lasts 5 - 6 weeks, at the end of which time the hair falls out and a new hair begins to form. Approximately 10% to 13% of our body hair is in this phase at any one time.

The laser most effectively disables hair that is in the active growth (anagen) phase. Because all the hair in a treated area may not be in the anagen phase, more than one laser hair removal treatment may be necessary to remove the hair that subsequently enters the growth phase.

Everyone will need at least 6-8 treatments for good results. While all hair is temporarily disabled during each treatment, not all hair is destroyed. A series of treatments is necessary to allow results to accumulate.
