Say goodbye to shaving & waxing
​
Traditional hair removal methods, such as shaving or waxing, are temporary before hair grows back thicker and stronger. This can be especially troubling with facial hair. Shaving and plucking also encourage painful ingrown hairs and annoying skin irritations. That is why more people are choosing laser for hair removal. It is fast, effective, safe and a great investment in yourself.
Laser Hair Removal is a treatment for excess and unwanted hair using highly advanced laser technology. Treatment usually lasts between 6-8 sessions and can lead to the removal of hair without the need for waxing, shaving, or plucking.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser treatment affects hair in the active growth phase (anagen stage). The laser beam is made up of precisely controlled pulses of energy which are absorbed by the melanin or pigment in the hair and reach into the active hair follicles that lie beneath the skin.
The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, safely destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.
Most people will need a course of between 6 and 8 sessions after which time the hair will be visibly reduced or permanently removed and the skin will be smooth and even.
