Laser Hair Removal at SoLux Med Spa

Laser Hair Removal, a specialty at SoLux Med Spa in Chicago, is the process of employing a laser beam to damage the hair follicle and permanently end hair growth.

Hair grows in 3 cycles: active, dormant and shedding. Laser hair removal is effective during the active stage, making multiple, evenly spaced treatments necessary to achieve desired results. The hair follicle absorbs the laser light, converting it to heat. This heat damages the follicle and inhibits hair growth. With each treatment, significantly less hair grows back until permanent hair reduction is achieved. Treatments may not be performed during pregnancy.

How many treatments do I need?
The number of treatments varies between patients. While hair growth cycles differ on parts of the body, skin type, hair color and coarseness, as well as age and metabolism, all influence hair growth. Four to six treatments usually provide excellent results.
