Many methods have been devised to remove unwanted hair, from waxing and shaving to electrolysis. Unfortunately, waxing and shaving are not long term solutions and while electrolysis is variably effective, it involves significant time, discomfort and expense.

The best-known method of achieving permanent hair removal is Laser Hair Removal, and if the procedure is performed correctly (using the right equipment), permanency is possible. That's because laser hair removal actually kills the hair follicle, which impairs it's ability to grow.

Laser provides a safe, fast, gentle and effective method for removal of hair by producing an intense localized pulse of light of a wavelength which is preferentially absorbed by the pigment, or color, in the hair root or the blood vessel. This process is called selective photothermolysis. It is selective because it targets only the hair and not the skin. But you need to get the hair at the right stage in the growth cycle to ensure permanent laser hair removal.

Everyone's hair grows differently, depending on their age, weight, metabolism, hormonal interactions, genetics, medications and environmental influences. Irrespective of this, hair grows in a cycle which has 3 distinct stages, and Laser treatment in the first growth stage (Anagen stage) is the best for permanent reduction. Laser treatment in the other 2 stages (Categen and Telogen) can be less effective, because in these stages new hairs are being formed which may not be target-able by the Laser. So for permanency you will need to undergo a number of laser treatments over time to kill all the hair follicles in that region.
