Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that offers a long-term solution to unwanted hair. At Active Crystal, our professional and highly skilled team is equipped with the latest technology to provide safe and effective treatments. Understanding the science behind this method can help demystify the process and set realistic expectations.
Laser hair removal works through a process called selective photothermolysis. This technique uses laser light to target melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft. This absorption raises the temperature of the hair follicle, damaging it without harming the surrounding skin.
The key to effective laser hair removal is the laser's ability to target the hair follicle during its active growth phase, known as the anagen phase. Since not all hairs are in this phase at the same time, multiple sessions are required to achieve the best results. This staggered approach ensures that as many hair follicles as possible are effectively treated over time.
Laser hair removal can be used on various parts of the body including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and face. Advances in laser technology have made it possible to treat different skin tones more safely and effectively than ever before. However, the effectiveness of the treatment can still vary based on the color and thickness of the hair, as well as the individual's skin type.
Before undergoing laser hair removal, it's important to consult with a qualified professional who can assess your suitability for the treatment and explain the process, including any potential risks and aftercare requirements. At Active Crystal, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction, ensuring that all treatments meet the highest standards.
