Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.
During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
Our painless hair removal system combines high powered diode laser energy with a highly efficient cooling system to guarantee safe and comfortable treatment for many skin types. Greater penetration depth to destroy deeply embedded hair follicles and short pulses at a high frequency makes the treatment more effective, faster and more gentle than ever before.

Laser hair removal is a long-term hair growth reduction method. It can reduce hair growth by up to 90%. The results of a laser hair removal treatment will depend on each person as well as the area of the body treated.

This really depends on the person. Each client has a different tolerance to pain, however, laser hair removal is not painful. Compared to waxing, laser hair removal does not hurt. The sensation is somehow unpleasant and can be uncomfortable but very tolerable. Laser hair removal feels like rubber band snapping against the skin.
before your appointment
Any treatment areas should be shaved completely prior to treatment. Legs should be shaved around 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid irritation. Drinking alchohol and coffee in excess 24 hours before the procedure might increase skin sensitivity, making the procedure more painful.
