How Laser Hair Removal Works
Our MeDioStar diode laser sends pulses of light energy over the area with unwanted hair. The light energy safely enters the skin and targets the pigment in the hair follicle root. The pigment absorbs the light energy, heats up, and destroys the cells that produce hair growth. As a result, the nutrient source for the follicle is cut off, disabling the follicle from growing more hair. For successful results, clients will need multiple treatments. That’s because laser hair removal only works on hairs in the anagen stage of the growth cycle.
The Three Stages of Hair Growth
Every hair goes through a growth cycle of three stages: the anagen stage, the catagen stage, and the telogen stage.
The anagen stage is the only stage that laser hair removal is successful. In this stage, hair is attached to the follicle and receives nutrients that produce hair growth. That’s why it’s referred to as the active growing stage. In order for the laser to destroy the source of growth, the light energy must travel down the hair shaft to destroy the follicle root. That can only be done if the hair is attached to the follicle root.
The second stage is the catagen stage. During this stage, hair disconnects from the follicle root and cuts off the nutrient supply. The telogen phase is when a catagen hair is pushed out by the growth of a new anagen hair, therefore restarting the growth cycle.
Since individual strands of hair grow at different rates, there’s no way to know which phase a hair is in. Furthermore, some stages last longer than others due to hormonal and nutritional factors. Multiple treatments are needed to target each hair in the anagen phase. Eureka Body Care & Spa recommends a minimum of 6 to 12 treatments followed by occasional touch-ups to target hairs that weren’t targeted during the anagen stage.

MeDioStar NeXT Pro
Laser technology has been around for over half a century. It was used as a removal tool for unwanted hair as early as the mid 1960s and was finally approved by the FDA in 1997. Since then there have been a lot of different variations of the machine trying to make the procedure faster, less painful, and generally more pleasant.
The MeDioStar NeXT Pro is the newest evolution of the hair removal laser that excels in all the criteria above taking hair removal to an entirely new level. The technology allows fast and essentially painless treatment. It’s the most popular and powerful high speed hair removal machine worldwide, allowing treatment of large areas such as the entire back in only 5 minutes! The device can address a wide variety of skin concerns, combining dual wavelength function with smooth pulse technology. Thanks to the fiber bundle delivery it generates the flattest beam possible, making the removal process even more effective. As far as patient comfort, the device is equipped with a peltier cooling chip that controls skin temperature that allows more comfort than the widely used sapphire cooling system used by most hair removal devices.
What is Laser?
Laser stands for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation“ and has been gaining popularity since it’s invention in 1960. Today it is used in different branches of science and technology as well as in medicine. Goldman was the first to use it for dermatological purposes in 1963.
Laser is a light source that emits a narrow beam of a defined wavelength. Its uniform waves propagate with little divergence, i.e. they are almost parallel. There are different kinds of lasers depending on wavelength (from ultraviolet to infrared) and laser powers (from a few fractions of a milliwatt for use in diagnostics to the kilowatt range of high-power lasers for use in industry). In the case of continuous emission we refer to the laser as continuous-wave laser (cw)
In the case of single pulse excitation it is called a pulser laser. It’s Q switch laser when excitation energy is collected and then followed by a sudden release.

FAQ
To achieve the best result it’s recommended to schedule an appointment every 6-8 weeks.
After 6-8 such procedures most of our clients usually need a touch up package with 8-12 week intervals until all hair is removed.
It usually takes 6 to 8 sessions to lose 60-90% of unwanted body hair. If we are working on large areas with more unruly hair, more procedures may be required.
We guarantee that there are no such chances and we have hundreds of successful cases to refer to. As stated on our website, Eureka offers permanent hair removal. The way the procedure works is to damage hair follicles and make re growth impossible. However hormonal changes may trigger growth of new hair especially on chin and facial area. It is also possible that a few hair follicles partially escaped the laser beam during the procedures. Both of these cases can be resolved with additional sessions.
Yes, we offer late evening hours as well as weekend appointments. MeDioStar laser, the laser hair removal technology we use works up to 10 times faster than other laser hair removal machines currently available.
