Laser hair removal targets the pigment of the hair called melanin. The light grabs onto the pigment heats up the hair bulb, which injures or destroys it.
However when the light from the laser machine is flashed onto the skin, it will only affect hair that is in active growth phase.
At any one time, the hair in a particular part of the body will be dormant, and there will be no hair in the follicle, the light at this time will have no affect on the hair bulb as there is no hair in the follicle for it to grab onto.
“hair grows in different cycles depending on the part of the body:
treatment cycles are required to catch hair as it passes into its active growth stage”

[…] The reason for so many treatment cycles to get permanent hair removal? Most of what is thought of as laser hair removal is a laser like technology called intense pulsed light. This is newer, faster and more comfortable than the original laser hair removal. […]

Do you have to do anything in between treatments for brazilian? (or any hair removal)

Hi Mandy, we generally recommend just leaving the treated area alone altogether. The hair goes through a cycle after treatment where it falls out and then slowly starts to grow, so the Brazilian should not need any attention between treatments. Dr Jo
