How does it work?

Light energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and hair matrix. The energy is delivered in a way that affects the hair follicle and not the surrounding tissue. Short pulse delivery 20ms results in damaging the hair bulb causing thinning and lightening of hair and delay in hair re-growth, with possibility of permanent reduction.
