Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laser hair removal 101<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you commit to laser hair removal, it\u2019s good to learn about what it does and how it does it. The Icon laser is a handheld device that we hover over the area of skin you want us to treat. It emits a special light in rapid pulses as we move it over your skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light penetrates the outer layer of your skin and makes a beeline for your hair follicles, which typically contain enough melanin (pigment) to make them stand out from the surrounding tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the light energy reaches its target, the hair follicle heats up and dies. The good news is that the follicle is the only victim in this scenario \u2014 the rest of your skin remains unscathed. Since a dead follicle can longer grow hair, you\u2019ll never have to worry about shaving that spot again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The reason for multiple laser treatments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering why you need more than one laser treatment if it\u2019s supposed to be a permanent solution, we understand your confusion. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laser targets the pigment in your hair at the base of the follicle, so the first session zaps all the hair you have that day. However, your hair grows in three cycles, so in a few weeks, a new batch of hair crops up, and we need to treat the new hairs with another round of laser energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there are at least three cycles of hair growth in the typical human body, you can count on at least three sessions. You may need more depending on your individual hair growth patterns and the size of the area you want to have treated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We schedule your appointments several weeks apart so that we can catch each batch of hair at its peak. Afterward, you may need to come in for touch-ups now and then as rogue follicles may produce a few hairs here and there, but eventually, we eradicate them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of laser hair removal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of all the time and money you spend managing all the hair on your body, laser hair removal is a far-better solution, even if you need multiple sessions up front. Here are a few of the top benefits you can expect from laser hair removal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Nearly permanent<\/li><li>Less messy<\/li><li>Safer<\/li><li>FDA-approved<\/li><li>Saves time<\/li><li>Saves money<\/li><li>Painless<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to conventional methods, laser hair removal can\u2019t be beat. It works on almost every body part, even the tough-to-reach places and the larger areas like your chest, back, or legs.
