2. Laser Hair Removal – How it works
The laser emits a gentle beam
of light
which is absorbed only by the hair follicle
(leaving the skin unharmed). This light
energy is transformed to heat which
destroys the hair follicle permanently.
That’s really all there is to it.
This is called ‘Selective Photothermolysis’.
4. Laser Hair Removal – How it works
Unfortunately
…… there are hundreds of
thousands of hair follicles in any body area
&
Hair grows in cycles (2 immature and 1
mature stages). Hair follicle can only be
destroyed in the mature stage and at any
given time only 10-20% of hairs are in the
mature stage.
Therefore it requires multiple sessions
5. Understanding Hair Growth
The hair follicle’s active growth
phase is called anagen. During
this phase, the hair contains an
abundance of melanin.
Catagen is the regression
phase when the lower part of
the hair stops growing but is
not shed and the follicle is
reabsorbed.
The resting phase is called
telogen, during which the old
hair falls out in preparation for
the development of new hair.
6. What to expect (benefits) –
Expect
about 90% hair reduction in
6 Treatment done over 9 to 15 months
period. This is considered success.
Each session takes from 5 min. to 1 hour,
depending on the body area
The Interval between treatments varies;
4 weeks for Head
8 weeks for Torso & Lower Body
7. What to expect (benefits) –
Generally speaking, after your 6 sessions,
you should be HAIR FREE & won’t have
to shave, wax or bleach again ever!

8. PAIN
The procedure should not be painful.
Expect pain at 2 to 3 level on a scale of
10. 1 being the least and 10 being the
worst pain you ever had.
Most people say it feels like a snap of a
rubber band or a warm heating sensation.
Any pain more than level 4 requires
reevaluation.
If your pain is more than 4 during
treatment, tell us to STOP!
9. TANNING
NO TANNING!!
Tanning changes the color of the skin
causing it to absorb the laser light
intended for the hair follicle thus
decreasing efficacy and increasing risk of
burns
Avoid tanning 4 weeks before and 2
weeks after the treatment
10. Why Results Vary
The
3 main reasons are
Skin Color – Light skin vs Dark skin
Hair Color – Black hair vs Blonde hair
Hair Type - Coarse hair vs Fine (Peach Fuzz)

other factors are - Age, Gender,
Genetics, Heredity, Hormonal changes etc
Therefore
RESULTS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED
