The light energy safely passes through the skin to the hair follicles below. When the light energy reaches the follicles it is converted to heat energy and damages the hair follicle leaving it unable to produce new hair. To become completely hair free, a number of treatments are needed to be carried out to the targeted area, with intervals of roughly 6 weeks. This is because hair grows in different stages and the light energy only affects the actively growing hair follicles. On average, six treatments are recommended for the body and eight treatments for the facial area.
