How does laser hair removal work?

Lasers will reduce the amount of hair growth by a process called selective photothermolysis. The laser is effective on follicles in the active growth phase (anagen). Since all hair is not in the active growth phase at any one time, repeated treatments are required at 4 to 6 week intervals. Five to eight treatments are usually required to achieve a 50 to 60 percent reduction.

Dr. Grover utilizes the Aurora laser by Syneron, which attacks hair follicles with intense pulse light as well as with radio frequency. Patients with blond, grey and red hairs may also be treated. Most skin types may be treated; however, it is best to avoid sun exposure before and after the treatments. The treatments may take 5 to 45 minutes depending on the body area treated. Topical anesthetics are not usually required.

Who is the best candidate for laser hair removal?

In general, clients with lighter skin and darker hair will fare the best from the procedure, since tanned skin tends to discourage the laser energy from passing through to the follicles. Dr. Grover recommends avoiding tanning prior to your laser hair removal treatment, including any spray-on products.

Dr. Grover can safely treat those with darker skin tones without a risk of hyperpigmentation by selecting the right laser for your needs. He will do this during your confidential Orange County laser hair removal consultation by examining your skin. Patients with grey or white hair will most likely not be good candidates for laser therapy, as they lack the pigment required for successful hair removal.
