How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light

technology works

Hair growth

Hair growth rates differ from person to person,

depending on age, metabolism and other factors.

However, everyone’s hair normally grows in 3 phases.

1 Growing phase (anagen phase)

The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase

the concentration of melanin is highest. Melanin is

responsible for the pigmentation of the hair.

Melanin concentration is also the determining factor for

the efficacy of this method. Only hairs in the growing

phase are susceptible to treatment with light.

2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)

Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the

hair sheds.

3 Resting phase (telogen phase)

The old hair separates from its hair follicle and sheds.

The follicle remains at rest until the biological clock

tells it to become active again and grow a new hair.
