Laser Hair Removal: How does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser is a beam of light that creates heat with pigment which is the color in our skin and hair. The darker and thicker the hair is the better the laser works. The heat disables the hair follicle which causes the hair growth to stop. It then disconnects from the hair bulb which causes that particular hair to be pushed up to the surface on its own quicker then normal.

This can cause a hair growth spurt in some areas,which is normal. The hair will eventually fall out of the follicle, which can take up to 2-3 weeks after treatment.

Our hair grows in 3 different stages;  Anagen, Telogen, and Catagen.  It is only effective on the hair growing in the Anagen stage, therefore it is normal to see the hair growing back in patches after treatment.
