HOW DOES LASER REMOVE HAIR?

This treatment uses concentrated laser energy to target the hair follicles in the treatment area. Laser heating damages the follicle, causing current hair to shed and making it difficult for future hair to grow. The treatment leaves surrounding skin and tissue intact, minimizing discomfort and downtime after the procedure.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

You might start to see some shedding within days of your first treatment session. Due to the growth cycle of hair, patients require a series of appointments to achieve a full outcome.

Stubble, representing dead hair being shed from the hair follicle, will appear within 5-30 days from the treatment date. that is normal & they will fall out quickly.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

Once the results are achieved, the hair reduction is long-lasting and even permanent for some patients. Others may find that a touch-up session every year or two will keep them silky smooth.
