Laser penetrates precisely and destroys the hair follicle without causing scars but so that hair does not grow back. The diode laser therapy causes only a tingling sensation, no painful sensation of heat.The treatment is only effective on hair growth phase (the anagen phase), since these still attached to the hair follicles. This is the only phase of growth where the hair follicles have growing cells. By destroying these new hair follicles cannot reproduce. Most of the hairs are in the standby phase, which is why there is a need of more than one treatment.
