In this phase, the cells grow to produce new hair. The anagen hairs have a lot of melanin and blood supply and are linked to the root. The laser’s light energy will be focused on the newborn healthy hair follicle, which will be destroyed at the root where the hairs get nutrients. Any hairs that were treated during this stage will be permanently disabled.

The catagen phase is the end of the growth phase and is marked by changes in the hair follicle. The hair stops growing, nutrients and the blood supply are cut off also the hair follicle separates from the base, forming a club hair.

In this phase, all activity stops. Telogen club hair remains resting (not growing) for 3 to 5 months before being released by the new hair that starts to regrow at the root. The new hair pushes the old hair out, and thus the cycle begins.

Hairs treated in the catagen and telogen phase will not cause permanent destruction of the hair root hence why you need several treatments 4-6 weeks apart to achieve the desired results as no one can predict which phase the hair growth cycle is in.
