In-depth Description
LASER HAIR REMOVAL EXPLAINED
Lasers deliver an intense beam of light which are made up of a single wavelength
or colour. Skin is essentially transparent to light with a wavelength of 808 (nano
meters), while melanin containing structures will absorb laser energy of this
wavelength. It is therefore possible to target the hair follicle that has a
concentration of melanin without affecting the surrounding area.
The light energy absorbed by the melanin pigment results in the rapid heating up of
the hair follicle. This heat destroys the cells (papilla) responsible for hair growth. If
adequate heating is achieved, then the follicle is permanently disabled resulting in
a permanent reduction in hair growth.
Note: This is different from home IPL (Intense Pulse Light) which requires continued
treatments every two weeks to prevent hair regrowth.
