A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling numerous follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hairs re-growth.

The combination of this aggressive skin cooling and other key laser parameters allows safe and effective treatment of all skin types. The hair has 3 phases of hair growth as follows: Anagen is the active growth phase. During this phase, the hair contains an abundance of mela
