How does our hair removal treatment works? To achieve long lasting or permanent hair reduction, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle. Well controlled pulses of light penetrate the upper skin layer and are absorbed by one of the body’s own natural chemicals – melanin – in the hair contained in the follicle. Melanin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce a new hair. The treatment is only effective on growing hairs as these are still attached to the follicle. The majority of our hair is in the resting phase which explains why more than one treatment is necessary. This technique is called “Selective Photothermolysis”. How many sessions are needed? Hair grows in three different cycles and the Permanent Hair Reduction can only successfully treat hair during its growth stage. Therefore it is often necessary to undergo a course of 8-10 treatments ensuring that you leave at least 4-6 weeks between each session. Do I need to take extra precaution before and after treatment? To ensure as many hair follicles are targeted as possible it is also important not to under go any hair removal for at least four weeks before the appointment or during the course of treatment. The same rule applies to any sun treatments.
