How Effective Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is effective at damaging the hair follicles and eliminating up to 90% of hair growth. Hair growth goes through three different phases, stage one is called the Anagen phase which is when the hair first starts to grow, the second phase is called the catagen phase, which is where the hair growth stops and the hair bulb is pushed up. The final phase is called the Telogen phase, this is when the hair is finally released and falls out. On average 20% of the hair that is growing is in the Anagen phase, this is the fact that the laser hair treatment is most effective on. This is why receiving multiple treatments of laser hair removal ensures it is able to reach as much of the active growing stage as possible.
