How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Hair removal is a leading concern for both men and women. There are plenty of hair removal options to try, many of which are self-administered. However, if you ever seek out professional hair removal services, you don’t always get good value for money. You either end up sore or with hair growing back after a couple of weeks. At Rejuve, we offer laser hair removal that can offer a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. 

Purpose of Laser Hair Removal

Obviously, the purpose of this procedure is to remove hair from your body. It can be used in many different areas of your body – wherever you wish to get rid of body hair. Multiple treatments are required, with the aim to remove as much hair as possible from a particular area of your body, stopping it from growing back for a very long time. 

How Laser Hair Removal is Administered

This treatment is administered by using a special device that emits a laser. At Rejuve, we use the impressive Soprano ICE All-In-One Laser. The treatment begins by discussing which part of your body to focus on, and our trained technicians apply a cooling gel to the target area. Two technicians will then make sweeping motions over the area with the laser, taking up to 60 minutes to complete the treatment. 

You will see visible improvements after one session, but multiple appointments are required to ensure all the hairs in an area have been removed. 

How Does a Laser Remove Hair?

Laser hair removal works as the laser emits a light that is absorbed by hair follicles. When this happens, the follicle converts the light into heat, absorbing it and burning up. Afterward, the follicle is no more as it has basically destroyed itself. This only works on hair follicles in the active stage of the growth cycle, which is why numerous appointments are required. Many of the hairs in an area will be dormant during the first appointment, but they become active and will be targeted during subsequent sessions. 

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

The beauty of this hair removal technique is that it presents fewer risks than other methods. When shaving or waxing, there’s always the risk of drawing blood and being in pain. While some soreness is expected during laser hair removal, it is nowhere near as painful as cutting yourself with a razor or yanking hairs from your body with wax. 

Furthermore, the results are incredibly long-lasting. It takes a very long time for any hair to grow back once an entire area has been treated. This means you don’t have to constantly keep up with body hair maintenance in the target area!

Who is a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

At Rejuve, almost everyone is a candidate for our laser hair removal treatment! With some lasers, people with dark skin struggle to see results. However, the Soprano ICE is designed for all skin types, making it effective for everyone. As long as you have some pigment in your hair, you will be a candidate for laser hair removal.
