The visible light source used in this procedure is attached to melanin, which is found in hair. Because there is more melanin found in darker hair the darker the hair is, the more effective the treatment. During the treatment an optical coupling gel is applied to the skin to aid the treatment. This helps to aid the light into the skin and to protect the skin from burning. The applicator is pressed onto the skin and the light energy is absorbed into the hair causing a heat reaction to destroy the follicle. The treatment sensation varies from area to area and from client to client. As the light energy is absorbed by melanin, the sensation that is felt depends upon the amount of melanin found in the epidermis and the hairs. Therefore it hurts more darker skinned/tanned individuals and those with dense black hairs. Most clients describe the sensation as moderate almost like a snapping of an elastic band. We would recommend 8-12 treatments with a 4-8 week interval between each treatment.
