What is the basis of laser hair removal?
Energy in the form of selective photothemoysis is delivered to the area under treatment to maximize tissue damage to the hair follicles while not causing any harmful effect to the skin and surrounding tissue. Melanin pigment makes a logical target chromophore. It is most abundant in the hair bulb which is believed to be the most important target for hair removal. It is less abundant in the epidermis, even in dark skinned patients. It absorbs well in the skins “optical window” between 600-900nm.
During an individual’s lifetime hair growth occurs in cycles. The length of the anagen phase (active hair growth) determines the length of the hair. Scalp hairs may remain in the anagen phase for up to 3 years. The next hair follicles phase is called catagen when regression lasts for a few weeks. The resting phase (or telogen) lasts for months depending inversely on the number of actively growing hairs in the area. The chest has a longer telogen period than the scalp. The hair follicles will lengthen when anagen resumes. The bulb descends deeper into the skin. Old hair shaft is gradually shed. Individual hair follicles are more or less independent, with most hairs in anagen phase at any given time.
