Laser hair removal - how long does the treatment last?
What does the effectiveness of laser hair removal depend on?
Laser hair removal is currently one of the most effective methods of reducing unwanted hair. However, it is important to remember that several factors affect the durability of laser hair removal:
-
- Carrying out treatments for hair in the active growth phase.
The laser only works on hair in the anagen phase. This is when intensive cell division processes take place in the hair follicle and new hair is formed. The thermal effect caused by the laser leads to permanent damage to the follicle. As a result, the hair does not grow back.
-
- Carry out the entire series - approximately 6 treatments at regular intervals.
It should be remembered that hair growth phases do not occur evenly in every area. During one treatment, the laser can remove approximately 30% hairs from a given body part.
By performing a series of treatments, the laser is able to reach all the hair in the anagen phase in the area.
-
- Adherence to preoperative recommendations.
Laser depilation is only effective if the laser beam is focused on the hair root. This is why it is important not to remove hair with tweezers, depilatories or wax patches before treatment. These types of hair removal methods can reduce the effectiveness of laser hair removal to 0.
Hair removal lasers focus their energy on melanin. If you want the best possible hair removal results, give up sunbathing at least one week beforehand. Tanned skin can make it more difficult to remove body hair.
Effectiveness of laser hair removal depends largely on your complexion. The best results can be achieved with dark hair and fair skin.
