Laser Hair Removal Hartford Information

Since the early 90's, when laser hair removal was first approved by the FDA, the procedure has undergone many technological advances. Older lasers were very slow, very painful and only worked on those patients with very dark hair and very light skin. Today, with advances in laser technology, lasers can work on most skin colors, including some tanned skin.

Lasers work by emitting light at various pulse widths, energy outputs and wavelengths. Certain wavelengths are used depending on what the laser is targeting. In the case of laser hair removal, the laser targets the melanin found within unwanted hair follicles. The lasers are designed to destroy structures containing melanin, so when the laser is placed over the target area, the light passes through the skin directly into the hair follicles below. The laser heats the hair follicle, destroying the melanin and effectively inhibiting hair regrowth.

Laser hair removal cannot remove all hair in one treatment; therefore patients will need multiple treatments in order to effectively reduce unwanted hair. Most patients will need anywhere from 3-6 treatments, but some might need up to 8. Laser hair removal is currently the number one laser treatment performed in the United States; therefore patients can trust that the laser hair removal procedure is a safe, fast and effective way to permanently reduce any and all unwanted hair.
