Through a process called 'Selective Photothermolysis', Laser light is passed through the skin and is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. The heat generated by the laser light both injures the follicle and inhibits future growth, while leaving the skin unharmed.
What to Expect Post Treatment
Perifollicular erythema (reddening around hair shaft) immediately following laser application. On most occasions this reaction is absent or minimal.
Expected Final Outcome
Hair takes 1 - 2 weeks to fall out. Requires multiple treatments with occasional maintenance treatments.
