How The Anagen Phase Enables Effective Laser Hair Removal

The proliferative phase is the optimal window during which a pilosebaceous unit is undergoing cell division. At this stage the hair is firmly anchored within the dermis, and лазерная эпиляция мужчин receives nourishment from the blood supply that sustains cellular activity.



This is also the time when melanin levels peak the densest melanin content, the chromophore responsible for its pigmentation. Laser hair removal is fundamentally based on absorbing the pigment.



The targeted light source produces a precise wavelength of light that preferentially targets the pigment granules in the hair shaft. Following energy capture, the light energy are converted into focused warmth, which induces localized thermal damage the hair root, great enough to inhibit or prevent regrowth.



Because only hair shafts in the growth stage have sufficient chromophore and are connected to the dermal papilla, they are the only ones that are capable of transmitting the thermal pulse. Consequently, in each treatment, the device can only deactivate a portion the hair in the treated area.



Follicles in transition or resting stages are not connected to the dermal papilla and have insufficient enough melanin, making them unresponsive to the wavelength.



This biological reality explains why a series of appointments are required to treat each follicle as they transition the target window.



Precision timing and patience are non-negotiable for achieving permanent reduction.



Grasping hair growth cycles equips both practitioners and clients to manage outcomes effectively and create protocols that match natural hair growth cycles.
