How Does Laser Hair Removal Work

There are many different types of laser hair removal systems. At Exhale Laser, we use the Candela machine because we believe in its superior results, safety, and the response from our clients. It is far and away the best system available.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

That said, let us take a look at how Queens laser hair removal works in general and what you can expect from this process.

Laser hair removal systems take a concentrated beam of light and focus it on regions of unwanted hair. That laser light is absorbed by the pigment or the melanin in the hair. Light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs.

What to Expect After Treatment

The hairs that are in the follicle typically do not immediately fall out. This is a misconception many people have. You can expect the hairs to fall out as they grow at their natural rate, so it may take a few days. In a normal hair growth cycle, this is called the exogen phase, which is followed by the anagen phase or the growing stage.

With laser hair removal service, there would not be an anagen phase immediately following the hair falling out.

Will Laser Hair Removal Permanently Remove Hair?

Laser hair removal does not permanently remove all hair from the body, but multiple treatments will greatly reduce the amount of hair naturally produced in these regions. It is best to expect maintenance treatments, but there will be fewer of them down the road.

Why We Use Candela Technology

At Exhale Laser, we have the skill and experience necessary to treat all skin types and hair colors. It is true that having a greater contrast between skin tone and hair color, meaning lighter skin and darker hair, has the best results. This is because dark hair melanin is excellent at receiving the laser beams, and the lighter the skin, the better it is at warding off laser lights. This is one of the reasons we use a Candela machine—it is a more advanced piece of equipment that allows for better results, no matter what your skin or hair color is.
