Required sessions for a permanent hair removal |
| |
| One session unfortunately is not enough. The reason for this are the different growth phases of hair. |
| |
 |
Normal hair grow commences in three phases: Anagen phase (active growth, figure 1), catagen phase (degeneration, figure 2) and telogen phase (recovery, figure 3).
Since the hair itself is required to transport the lasers energy into the hair follicle and by this to destroying the germ cells, only hair in the active growth pahse can be permanently destroyed.
These are depending on the body part 20-30%, at best 75% of the hair.
In the other growth phases, hair is pushed up within the hair root or is in the recovery phase. Here the germ cells cannot be destroyed. |

| |
Thus a repetition of the treatment is necessary and we require several sessions to achieve the desired results.
Generally you can assume between 3 and 7 sessions with 4-10 week intervals depending on the treated body part. |
