Hair growth stages:

1 Active growth phase (Anagen phase): This is the best stage to disable hair growth. The Anagen phase will last up to several years. At any given time, the majority (85%) of our body hair is in this phase. During anagen, the hair follicle is directly connected to the blood vessels, and the hair has an abundance of melanin. The laser targets the melanin in the hair. That is why this is the best time to see the effectiveness of laser hair removal, as there is an abundance of melanin during the active growth phase.* Laser will cut off the blood supply to hairs; all the hair in the target area will be affected during the laser procedure, but only the hair follicles in the Anagen phase will be disabled.* Laser hair removal treatments are done over time because all the hairs are not 100% in the Anagen phase, but levels approximating 80 to 90% are possible.
2 Regressive phase (Catagen phase): Hairs cannot be disabled. The hair is not visible and capable of absorbing the laser light and therefore cannot be targeted. Hairs are no longer connected to the blood supply. The Catagen phase will last about two weeks, during which the hair stops growing but is not yet shed. About 3–4% of our body hair is in this phase at any given time.
3 Resting phase (Telogen phase): Hair is no longer connected to anything and is preparing to fall out. The hair is not visible or capable of absorbing the laser light and, therefore, cannot be targeted. The Telogen phase will last 5–6 weeks, at the end of which the hair falls out, and new hair begins to form. Approximately 10–13% of our body hair is in this phase at any one time.

Skin Rejuvenation

People who have scars, dark spots, or fine lines can really benefit from skin rejuvenation treatment.* The process smooths out the skin, helping to make these upsetting marks less noticeable or removing them entirely. Depending on the scale of the marks you are trying to shed, it may take numerous treatments to get the finest results.

Wrinkles: The skin is made up of 3 layers – the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.

As a person ages, the epidermal cells become thinner and less sticky. The thinner cells make the skin look noticeably thinner. The decreased stickiness of the cells decreases the effectiveness of the barrier function, allowing moisture to be released instead of being kept in the skin. This causes dryness. The number of epidermal cells decreases by about 10% per decade, and they divide more slowly as we age, making the skin less able to repair itself quickly.

The effects of aging on the dermal layer are significant. Not only does the dermal layer thin, but also less collagen is produced, and the elastin fibers that provide elasticity wear out. These changes in the scaffolding of the skin cause the skin to wrinkle and sag. Also, sebaceous glands get bigger but produce less sebum, and the number of sweat glands decreases. Both of these changes lead to skin dryness.

Before and After

IPL (Sun/Age Spots)

The term ‘age spot,’ or lentigines, refers to the brownish spots that, over time, appear on your face and body as a result of overexposure to the sun. As we age, our skin is subjected to more and more sun damage. Our skin has what is called ‘melanin pigment,’ which absorbs sunlight and helps naturally protect our skin from UV rays. However, as we age, our skin’s natural ability to fend off UV rays from the sun begins to deteriorate, and as a result, we see the development of age spots. These age spots can be effectively treated with lasers.*

There are a couple of different types of brown spots that people get on their skin. There are solar lentigos (age spots) and freckles (known as ephelides). These come from the sun, and that’s because the sun damages the melanocytes, which are the cells in the epidermis (the skin’s surface layer) that produce melanin pigment. Most of the cells in our epidermis are skin cells that form the dead skin layer as well as keratin that protects us from the outside world, but one in every tenth or twentieth cell is a melanocyte, which produces melanin pigment and transfers this brown pigment to our skin cells to help protect us against the sun.

Some people have almost no melanin pigment, and our skin does not do a good job of protecting us from the sun. Dark-skinned people do a much better job of protecting themselves from the sun. When the sun attacks light-skinned people, the body does not know how to respond properly. As a result, it can cause abnormal melanin pigment in the form of freckles and brown spots.
