Laser treatment can remove unwanted hair growth. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and at the bottom of the hair follicle. To prevent the laser from damaging the pigment in the skin, each treatment is carefully tailored to your skin type. The Alexandrite and Diode are the best hair removal systems up to Fitzpatrick skin type III. The ND-YAG laser is the best hair removal system between Fitzpatrick skin types IV and VI. Aesthetic Beauty Center has the perfect match for laser hair removal for every skin color.
With each flash, selective heating takes place of the hair follicles that are located deep in the skin. The laser releases its energy in a fraction of a second, just long enough to destroy the hair follicle and short enough to protect the surrounding skin structures and epidermis. In principle, this hair removal method can permanently remove disturbing hairs on any part of the body, for both women and men.
How many treatments are needed?
The hair growth cycle consists of three phases: the growth phase, the transition phase and the resting phase. Each individual hair can be in a different phase. For example, a certain number of hairs may grow at a certain time, while others do not. They are then in a resting phase. Only during the growth phase is the hair root sensitive to the laser, because it is still attached to the hair. This allows both the hair and the hair root to be heated. Because the hairs are in different phases, multiple laser hair removal treatments are required per location, on average 6 to 8 treatments. The frequency of the treatment depends on the area to be lasered. This is often between 4 and 8 weeks.
