What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal at MOY MD offers a highly effective and permanent method for significantly reducing unwanted hair across various body areas, including the face, back, stomach, underarms, bikini area, and legs. During the procedure, the pigment within the hair follicles absorbs the laser light, which is then swiftly converted into heat energy. This concentrated heat ultimately destroys the hair follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. After each treatment, most patients observe an approximate 20% decrease in hair reduction.

How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis, where precisely controlled laser energy is directed at the hair follicles. The melanin (dark pigment) within the hair shaft readily absorbs this laser light. Upon absorption, the light energy is rapidly converted into heat, which then effectively damages the hair follicle. This controlled thermal damage inhibits the follicle’s ability to produce new hair, leading to permanent hair reduction.
A crucial aspect of effective laser hair removal is understanding the hair growth cycle. Hair grows in three main phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). The laser is most effective when hair is in its active growth (anagen) phase, as this is when the follicle contains the most pigment and is directly connected to the blood supply. Since not all hairs are in the active phase simultaneously, a series of treatments is essential. This ensures that over time, all hairs are targeted during their vulnerable anagen phase, leading to comprehensive and lasting results. MOY MD employs various lasers to safely treat almost any skin tone.
Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment and Results
At MOY MD, we prioritize your comfort throughout your laser hair removal sessions. Before treatment, topical numbing cream is applied to the area, and ice packs are used during the procedure to minimize discomfort. During a session, the laser handpiece is passed over the skin, delivering pulses of light. You might feel a sensation often described as a rubber band snap or a warm prickle.
For post-treatment care, it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area and apply sunscreen diligently, especially on exposed areas. You should also avoid hot baths, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours to minimize irritation. Hair in the treated follicles will gradually shed over the next one to three weeks. After each treatment, most patients observe an approximate 20% decrease in hair reduction. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of consistent laser sessions is needed for best and most comprehensive results.
The full benefits of laser hair removal become apparent over a series of treatments. With each session, you will notice progressively less hair growth, and the hair that does grow back will likely be finer and lighter. While laser hair removal is considered a permanent method for reducing unwanted hair, some individuals may require occasional touch-up sessions to maintain optimal, lasting smoothness. Our team will advise you on the recommended number of treatments and any maintenance schedule during your personalized consultation, ensuring you achieve and sustain your desired results.
