About Laser Hair Removal
Laser
Hair Removal is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, in
which energy is delivered to the treatment area in such a manner as to
maximize tissue damage to the hair follicle while sparing the skin and
surrounding tissue. Melanin pigment makes a logical target chromophore,
because it's most abundant in the hair bulb, which is believed to be the
most important target for hair removal, much less abundant in epidermis,
even in dark-skinned patients, and it absorbs well in the skin's "optical
window" between 600-900nm.
Hair growth cycle:
Hair growth
occurs in cycles throughout an individual's lifetime. Active hair growth is
called
Anagen,
and the length of the anagen phase determines the length of the hair. Scalp
hairs may remain in the anagen for up to 3 years. Hair follicles then enter
Catagen,
a phase of regression which lasts a few weeks. The
Telogen,
or resting phase, can last for months, depending inversely on the number of
actively growing hairs in the area, ie. the scalp has a shorter telogen
phase than the chest. As anagen resumes, the hair follicle lengthens, the
bulb descends deeper into the skin, and the old hair shaft is gradually
shed. In humans, individual hair follicles are more or less independent,
with most hairs in anagen at any given time.
