Understanding Unwanted Hair Growth
Unwanted hair growth is a multifaceted phenomenon influenced by genetic predispositions, hormonal fluctuations, and individual lifestyle factors. It is a natural occurrence that can affect various regions of the body, impacting both men and women. The growth cycle of hair involves three main phases:
Anagen (Active Growth): This phase is characterized by active hair growth. The hair follicle is nourished by blood vessels, and the hair extends upward through the skin.
Catagen (Transition): In this intermediate phase, the hair follicle begins to detach from the blood supply, and hair growth slows down. This phase is relatively short, lasting a few weeks.
Telogen (Resting): The hair follicle is at rest during this phase, and the existing hair is shed to make way for new growth. This stage can last several weeks to a few months.
Understanding the intricacies of the hair growth cycle is crucial for effective laser hair reduction. The laser targets hair follicles during the active growth phase (Anagen), ensuring optimal results. While the majority of hair is in the Anagen phase at any given time, multiple treatment sessions are necessary to address the hair follicles cycling through different stages.

Factors influencing unwanted hair growth include genetics, hormonal imbalances (such as those experienced during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause), and certain medical conditions. Lifestyle choices, medications, and external factors can also contribute to variations in hair growth patterns.
Laser hair reduction disrupts this natural growth cycle by precisely targeting melanin in the hair follicles, inhibiting their ability to produce new hair. This results in a gradual reduction of unwanted hair over the course of multiple treatment sessions.
