Laser Hair Removal
How does it work?
Laser hair removal works by beaming a highly concentrated light directed to the hair follicles. The pigments in the follicle absorb the light, which in turn breaks down the follicle and prevents the hair from regrowing.

A touch-up session is scheduled in between sessions to target the hair that went under the radar during your previous session. The touch-up session’s duration ranges from a couple of minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes depending on the treated area.
Here’s our treatment protocol:
