ACTION ??
Based on the theory of Selective
Photothermolysis:

The target chromophore is melanin
◦ Present in the hair shaft
◦ Also present in the upper third of the follicular
epithelium

Permanent Hair Reduction

Hair growth has three phases
◦ Anagen (active)
◦ Catagen (regression)
◦ Telogen (resting)

Growth cycle
◦ lasts anywhere from 4 to 12 months.

SIGNIFICANT HAIR REDUCTION OCCURS when a
significant amount of hair does not return for
longer than the complete growth cycle
