The result is permanent hair © Thereduction. SimpleDezac to use, laser hair removal Group is suitable for unwanted faceLtd or body hair. 2014 Skin and hair contains a natural pigment called melanin. The level of melanin in your skin is the primary determinant of your skin colour, and is responsible for causing skin to tan during sun exposure. Both skin and hair follicles contain different concentrations of melanin. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light made up of a single wavelength. Yes Laser operates at a ©wavelength The that selectively Dezac targets the melanin in the hairGroup follicle, causing the hair follicleLtd to absorb 2014 the laser energy. The laser energy absorbed results in the rapid heating of the hair follicle. This heat destroys the cells responsible for hair growth. If adequate heating is achieved, the follicle is permanently disabled resulting in permanent hair reduction. The skin remains unaffected as it is essentially transparent to light in this wavelength range. It is only possible to treat a hair follicle when there is a hair present and the best results are achieved when the hair is actively growing. For permanent hair reduction six treatments are recommended over a six month period. ©Occasional The touch up treatments Dezac may be required for stubbornGroup hairs.
