•        Targets the pigment in the hair follicle.

•        Heat is absorbed and destroys the cells lining the hair follicle specifically around the bulb, bulge, and vascular supply.

 

3 Cycles of Hair Growth 

 

 

·        Anagen:  Hair is actively growing

·        Catagen:  Hair is dormant

·        Telagen:  Hair is falling out

 

Only hair in the actively growing stage (anagen) can be effectively treated and each area of the body has different percentages of hair in the growth phase at any given time.

 

·        Face, Axilla, Bikini are approximately 20-35%

           treatments should occur every 4 to 6 weeks

·        Trunk and Extremities have approximately 10-20%

           treatments should occur every 8 to 12 weeks

 

 

•        For best results, multiple treatments will be needed.  For most areas 4-6 treatments are necessary to achieve desired hair clearance.  One may need more or less than 6 treatments depending on hair type, previous methods of hair removal, and skin color.  Results are not guaranteed.
