The follicles in which the hair grows have a cycle in 3 phases that resemble the seasons of nature.

The anagen phase (spring-summer) is that during which the hair grows, colors and holds.

During the catagen phase (autumn), the hair detaches itself from its follicle and ends up falling.

During the telogen phase (winter), the follicle is empty and dormant.

Moreover, the duration of the cycle is variable depending on the region of the body.

Unlike trees in nature, the hairs are not all in the same phase of the cycle at any given time. Only hairs in the anagen phase are sensitive to Laser. After a first treatment session It will be necessary to wait until a new group of bristles is in its active phase to repeat the treatment. Several sessions are also required to obtain a satisfactory and definitive result.

Finally, with time, or under certain circumstances (hormonal imballance, certain medications), a duvet hair follicle (the tiny almost invisible superficial clear skin hairs) can develop into a pigmented strong hair follicle. For this reason, any abnormal hair growth (facial hair in women for example) should imply a preliminary medical and hormonal workup before envisioning Laser hair removal.

To remove all the hair follicles of a region, it is therefore necessary to repeat the treatment several times. After 4 to 8 sessions (usually 6), spaced by +/- 1 month, you will definitively get rid of the majority of the unwanted hair. Some areas (like the armpits) can require touch-up sessions due to the high density and thickness of the follicles in this region.

Black hairs are the most sensitive to laser treatment. Red hairs may respond while white hairs do not respond to treatment.

A test can be performed before starting a treatment to ensure proper efficiency.
