Hair’s active growth phase is called anagen. During anagen, the hair contains an abundance of melanin.

Catagen is the regression phase when the lower part of the hair stops growing but is not shed, and the folicle is reabsorbed.

The resting phase is called telogen, during which the old hair falls out in preparation for the development of new hair.

In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking, shaving, waxing or chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, and all are only temporary. For longer term hair removal, electrolysis is popular and effective but can be very painful and slow. Hair by hair, an electric current is passes through a needle to destroy the hair root’s ability to grow. It typically takes months or even years of regular visits – even for small areas, like the upper lip. Risks include electrical shock, infection, pitting or scarring.

Now there’s no more effective solution than the new Light Sheer Diode Laser used at the LDS clinic. The diode laser is a state of the art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully and much more effective than any other form of removal.
