It works by the selective targeting of hair follicles in the
skin with a laser. The laser's wavelength pulse width characteristics are
determined in a manner in which the hair follicle is heated and therefore
damaged/destroyed, while there is no damage to adjacent skin structures. Thus,
we select a wavelength which gets absorbed in melanin (the pigment which gives
hair its colour) and a pulse width which is short enough to heat up the hair
follicle without the heat being lost by diffusion,and long enough to allow the
surrounding skin to lose heat absorbed by thermal diffusion.
To get permanent hair removal, (as opposed to long growth
delays), it is important to also target those areas of the skin where new hair
follicle growth gets initiated. New Look has unique laser technology, which
also targets these areas, and damages them. Thus, there is the real possibility
of permanent hair removal embedded in our technology.
Because laser hair removal targets only growing hair
follicles, we can only destroy about 20% of the hair follicles in any one
session. Thus, laser hair removal requires several sessions for complete hair
removal.
