Lasering
The materials and process
During lasering, your salon professional will use a laser that emits a light that’s picked up by the pigmentation in your hair. The laser essentially kills the hair follicle. This won’t happen all at once, but rather in stages, through several sessions. The reason for this is that your hair follicle has three stages: growth, rest, and shedding. It takes several laser sessions to get on schedule with your hair growth, and kill the follicles at every stage. Hair should begin to fall out 10 to 14 days after your session, but it can take eight to 12 weeks to see full results.
