Hair Removal Basics
Understanding the basics of hair removal will give you the confidence you need to achieve optimal hair removal results.

On average, it takes approximately 33 weeks for your face and body hair to go through an entire hair growth cycle. (Depending on the individual, some areas grow faster or slower.) Hair growth is a continuous cycle that occurs in three phases:
. Anagen Phase: The "active" growth phase
. Catagen Phase: The "transitional" phase of arrested growth
. Telogen Phase: The "resting" phase of hair growth cycle
Just as each individual is unique, so is the pattern of hair growth between each person, and each area of the body. Not all hairs will be in the same growth cycle at the same time. Some hairs may be in the "active" growth phase while other hairs are in the "resting" phase.

Throughout the "active" growth phase, the hair follicle contains an abundance of melanin, the pigment that gives your hair color. Laser hair removal is most effective during this phase of the hair growth cycle.  As a result, repeat treatments are necessary because not all hairs will be in the "active" growth phase at the same time.
