Understanding the Phases of Hair Growth for Laser Hair Removal The Beauty Spot Liverpool – Nurse-Led Clinic | Old Swan, Liverpool

When it comes to laser hair removal, timing is everything! Many clients ask why their sessions are spaced out — for example, the first at 4 weeks, the second at 5 weeks, and the third at 6 weeks. The answer lies in the natural growth cycle of your hair.

Your hair grows in different phases, and the laser is only effective during one specific stage — the Anagen (active growth) phase. Not all hairs are in this stage at the same time, which is why multiple sessions are required to achieve smooth, long-lasting results.

🔬 The Four Phases of Hair Growth:

1. Anagen (Active Growth Phase):
   The hair is attached to the follicle and actively growing. This is when laser treatment works best, as the light targets the pigment in the root.

2. Catagen (Transition Phase):
   The hair stops growing and begins to detach from the follicle. Laser treatment is less effective here.

3. Telogen (Resting Phase):
   The follicle rests and prepares for a new hair to grow. The laser cannot affect these hairs yet.

4. Exogen (Shedding Phase):
   Old hairs fall out, and new ones start to appear beneath the skin.

Because each person’s hair cycle is unique, we adjust the time between your sessions — starting closer together and then extending gradually to ensure every follicle is targeted during its Anagen phase.
