Laser hair removal works by using light energy to permanently disable the hair follicle. The laser light selectively targets hair follicles while leaving other tissue untouched. Since hair grows in cycles, several

treatments are required. At any one time, 50% to 80% of hair follicles are in the active growth phase and will be disabled by the laser. As the remaining dormant hairs begin to grow, those hairs should to be treated at a later date. The hair will become finer, thinner, and lighter after each treatment.

For women, laser hair removal is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for facial hair and bikini lines.

For men and women, because the laser treats multiple hair follicles at a time, laser treatments are also very convenient for large areas of the body, including underarms, the back, shoulders, legs, arms...
Laser Hair Removal - Before and After

How many times will I have to get treatments?
The number of sessions will vary for each individual, but 3 to 5 treatments are usually required; some applications may require more. It depends on the area or areas you wish to have treated and your hair's density, thickness, and growth cycle. Your SkinHealth professional will discuss with you the treatment plan and formulate the best program to fit your needs.

Who are the best candidates for laser hair removal?
In general, the best results are achieved in individuals with dark hair (or dark hair roots) and a light skin color. This is because the laser light energy is absorbed by the pigment melanin in the skin, and is then transformed into heat to disable the hair follicle.
