Hair Loss

About 90 percent of hair on the scalp grows continually (anagen phase). The other 10 percent of scalp hair is in a resting phase that lasts two to three months (telogen phase). At the end of the resting phase, this hair is shed.

Your hair loss may have started with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb. Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. Anyone — men, women and children — can experience hair loss. When a hair is shed, it is replaced by a new hair from the same follicle and the growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair grows about one-half inch a month. Hair loss may lead to baldness when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of regrowth, when new hair is thinner than the hair shed or when hair comes out in patches.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is the fastest method of getting rid of body hair. The laser emits an invisible light which penetrates the skin without damaging it; it is then absorbed by the pigments of the pilous follicle. The laser light selectively absorbed by the follicle damages its functions and impairs its ability to fabricate hair. At the level of the pilous follicle, the laser light absorbed by the pigments is then transformed into heat which damages the hair but not the surrounding skin.

Depending upon the extent of the treatment, time in treatment ranges from one hour to several hours. A numbing lotion will first be applied to the targeted area. During the procedure, a laser is used to dispense a fine intense beam of heated light that removes the hair follicles, but preserves the skin in the surrounding area. Unlike electrolysis, which requires the removal of each hair follicle, the laser scans a wide area of the body in the removal process.
