Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal: How does it work?

Hair Growth Cycles:

Anagen Phase:
Anagen is the active phase of hair growth and generally lasts for several months. This is the best phase for the Pulsed Light Systems to disable new hair as it grows.
Catagen Phase:
During this brief phase, the hair bulb regresses and begins to shrink.
Telogen Phase:
At the end of this resting phase, which typically lasts a few months, hair is released from the shriveled follicles and the anagen phase begins again.
Will the Treatments Hurt?
Candela Laser Systems use a short pulse width that delivers energy to the skin over a very short period of time. To make the laser painless, the laser is preceeded by a cooling spray of cryogens. This makes the laser pulses comfortable. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation to be painful.
Are There Any Adverse Reactions to Treatment?
You may experience temporary redness and a mild "sunburn" like effect that may last a few hours to a few days.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the person, the body part being treated, and how much of the hair is in the active phase of growth. A better estimation is given after a consultation with our staff.

Moreover, we are skin specialists with every conceivable treatment for skin care... and lasers do affect the skin so it's important to know what lasers to use based on your skin/hair types and what treatments to avoid based on what you cannot see...what's below the skin!

Based on this analysis, we will determine how much power to use and which laser will work best for you.
