How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Specialized handheld lasers target the dark pigments of your hair with pulsing light. The light generates heat which is then absorbed and transmitted to your hair follicles, destroying them and preventing hair regrowth.
Note: your hair must be in an active growth stage for the treatment to be effective. Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed, spaced about a month apart, to optimize hair removal as it naturally cycles through active and inactive growth stages.

The Risk of Ingrown Hair on Black Skin
The curved hair shafts that African Americans have are the cause of ingrown hairs. When the curled hair grows after being cut, it can curl back into the skin, causing a raised red bump that looks like a pimple. These bumps can be itchy, painful or sore. Men often get them on their faces in the areas they shave – on the chin, cheeks or neck. Women often get them on their legs, armpits or bikini area.
Although ingrown hairs are not a serious condition by themselves, on African-American skin, the skin irritation can leave behind a darkened spot. If ingrown hairs are a continuing problem, an overall uneven skin tone could result.
How Our Advanced Laser Hair Removal Tools Help
Today’s laser technology can now target the hair follicle and eliminate ingrown hairs forever. Earlier lasers could not be used on dark skin because the melanin (color) in the skin would absorb the heat causing the skin to burn, but the advanced YAG laser bypasses the pigment in the skin and goes deeper to target the hair follicle. Thus, the hair is targeted and eliminated while the skin remains safe and unharmed. Once the hair follicle is destroyed by the laser, it no longer produces hair, thus permanently eliminating ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal requires several treatments for the best results. The laser can only eliminate hair when it is actively growing. Since hair grows at different rates, each treatment can only target a percentage of your hair each time, but with each treatment, there is less and less hair to target until, eventually, it is all eliminated. The results are nice, smooth skin with no “hair bumps.”
