The length of a laser treatment may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area
being treated. It is important to know that the hairs in an active growth phase (referred to as anagen) are most affected
by the laser. As all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, more than one treatment will be necessary to achieve the best results.
The laser treatment itself may cause some discomfort. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, but because some areas of the body are
more sensitive than others, topical anesthesia can be an option.
The appearance of the treated area immediately following treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of the procedure and
skin type. Some effects, if any, are minor. They may include redness and swelling around the hair follicle, which are, in fact, desired clinical results and
indicate that the follicle has responded to the treatment. Most people return to normal activity right away. We will be happy yo tell you more about your treatment,
possible side effects and what results you can expect during your consultation.

Hair's active growth phase is called anagen. During anagen, the hair contains an abundance of melanin. Hairs in this phase are most affected by treatment.
Catagen is the regression phase when the lower part of the hair stops growing but is not shed, and the follicle is reabsorbed.
The resting phase is called telogen, during which the older hair falls out in preparation for the development of new hair.
