One of the most common questions we receive is …..
Is laser hair removal permanent?
The answer is no, but let me explain. We can’t call it permanent because your body continuously develops new hair follicles, though at a much slower rate. What we offer is permanent hair reduction. This means you’ll need very little maintenance.
Many of our clients schedule yearly maintenance appointments to ensure minimal hair growth. Here’s how the process works:
The Process of Laser Hair Removal
The laser heat is absorbed by the hair follicle in your skin. The hair follicle, which is the root where the hair is attached, anchors into the dermal layer of the skin. Traditional hair removal methods like shaving and plucking only remove the hair itself, allowing the follicle to produce another hair.
In laser hair removal, the follicle absorbs the heat and is destroyed, preventing new hair from growing from that follicle. While your body will develop new hair follicles over time, it’s a slow process. That’s why our clients typically only need annual appointments to manage new growth. Many find they no longer need to shave or use other traditional hair removal methods.
What is Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal?
At our clinic, we use ND Alexandrite technology for pain-free laser hair removal.
Alexandrite laser hair removal uses a laser beam emitted from an Alexandrite crystal to target hair follicles. The laser energy heats up the hair follicles, destroying them and preventing hair growth. This type of laser is effective for lighter skin tones and darker hair colors.
It is safe, effective, and can provide long-lasting results for reducing unwanted hair on various parts of the body.
Is Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
The Alexandrite laser is particularly effective for treating large areas of the body, such as the legs and back, and is known for delivering long-lasting results.
Studies have shown that the Alexandrite laser can achieve up to a 90% reduction in hair growth after a series of treatments. However, the exact number of sessions required can vary depending on the individual’s hair type, skin tone, and other factors. It is important to undergo the treatment under the supervision of one of our Lynton-trained technicians to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness.
