Pseudo Folliculitis Laser Treatment
With the Laserscope Lyra™ Laser
Safe and effective treatments
Loomis Medical Clinic Laser Center uses the most advanced FDA
cleared laser technology for reduction of Pseudo Folliculitis, safely
and effectively treating all ethnic origins and skin types including
tanned skin.
Treatments that work
Laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle while your
hair in the anagen, or active phase of growth. The laser light is
converted into heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without
harming the surrounding tissue. Hair re-growth and shaving bumps are
impeded at the damaged follicle.
Average treatment series
Only 30% or less of your hair may be in the active phase at any one time
depending on the body area. Thus, a series of treatments will be
required to achieve the long-term improvement you desire. These
treatments are spaced approximately 4-12 weeks apart, based on hair
growth cycles. You can expect to need from 3-8 treatments (4-6 is
average) to each treatment area for long lasting optimal results.
Typical treatment sessions
Sessions for the face may take 30 minutes, while including larger areas
on the neck may require up to 45 minutes or more.
How permanent is Hair Removal?
The average patient in clinical studies sees a 48% reduction in hair
growth after three treatments and up to an 80% lasting reduction after
six to eight treatments (results vary). After you have completed a
series of four to six treatments, any remaining hair will usually be
finer and lighter in color. Most patients require one or two touch-up
treatments per year. Blond, platinum, most red, gray and vellus hair
will not respond to this treatment.
