How Does Laser Hair Bleaching Work?

Melanocyte cells are what gives our hair its colour.

Our Q-Switch Laser Machine works as a facial hair bleach – targeting the melanocyte cell in the structure of the hair.

How?

By emitting short pulses of high-energy light that breaks up the melanin within the hair.

Result?

The hair loses its colour and falls out in the coming days.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The laser bleaching of hair will need some upkeep, as new hairs will ultimately grow – replacing the old ones. But treatment can be carried out every 6-8 weeks.

Our experts will create a tailor-made plan to slow down the hair growth and eventually cause the hairs to appear finer.

Long Does It Take To See Results After Laser Hair Bleaching?

Hair Bleaching Treatment has immediate effects.

As soon as you have completed your treatment, you will notice that your hair has lost its melanin and is fading.

It is a safe and beneficial procedure to have – even after your laser hair removal sessions.
