Laser hair removal in Boston is extremely popular among those seeking perfectly smooth skin. During this procedure, a powerful laser beam is directed at the hair follicles to destroy them.
How Does Laser Technology Effectively Remove Hair?
The laser’s intensity settings and the amount of energy transmitted allow the hair or its shaft to heat up. The heat gradually spreads to the surrounding stem cells of the follicle, causing damage or destruction to them. The procedure targets only the hair root, leaving the skin undamaged.
For laser hair removal to work most effectively, the hair must be in the active growth phase. This is when it is most sensitive to the effects of the laser.
Hair has a life cycle that goes through three stages:
- Anagen – the active growth phase, during which the hair is firmly anchored in its follicle and is most filled with melanin.
- Catagen is the transitional phase during which hair growth stops, the hair detaches from the follicle base, and begins to fall out.
- Telogen – the resting phase, during which the follicle is inactive. After this stage, the hair growth cycle resumes, returning to anagen.
Since only around 20% of hair is in the anagen phase at any given moment, achieving the desired outcome requires several laser hair removal sessions. The length of this phase can vary based on factors like age, genetics, and overall health.
The effectiveness of laser hair removal in Boston depends on your skin type on the Fitzpatrick scale. This classification takes into account skin color, its reaction to sunlight, and the ability to tan.
- The fairest skin types (types 1 and 2): they redden and easily burn, tans minimally. Individuals with dark hair generally experience full hair removal after 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Those with light hair can expect only partial reduction in hair density after 6 to 12 sessions, spaced one month apart, following the initial treatment course.
- Light brown skin (type 3): Sometimes burns but gradually tans to a light brown shade. Dark-haired individuals usually require 6 – 10 sessions every 4 – 6 weeks for complete removal. Light-haired individuals may need an additional 3–6 follow-up sessions with monthly intervals to see visible results.
- Medium brown or dark brown skin (types 4 and 5): Rarely burns and tans well. Dark-haired individuals may require 6 – 10 sessions at 4 – 6 week intervals for growth reduction. To maintain consistent results, it is recommended to repeat the procedure every 3 to 6 months. In this case, light hair generally does not respond effectively to laser treatment.
For the best results from the process of laser hair removal Massachusetts, it is necessary to provide the hair with sufficient time to recover to the active growth phase between sessions.
