How does hair removal works?
Let's do a recap on how Hair removal actually works. This is one of the most important point but many seems to not know it despite going for treatment for a period of time from other places. Your hair grows in cycles of phases, namely:
- Anagen (Growth) Phase
Catagen (Transition) Phase
Telogen (Resting) Phase
Exogen (Shedding) Phase
For most people, renewal of growth is experienced every 4-6 weeks. Laser hair removal procedures are effective only during the Anagen (Growth) Stage.
The latest Hair removal technology work effectively by destroying the hair follicles in this Anagen (Growth) phase and it is crucial to leave sufficient break times between sessions to treat hair follicles once they re-enter the growth cycle. The Growth phase also varies between different area.
This is why we guarantee once a month treatment for all our clients so you no longer have to make extra trip down for treatment that have no effects on your hair removal journey!
