Laser hair removal uses the latest technology to permanently reduce body and facial hair.
Laser hair removal uses a short pulses laser that only targets the melanin in your hair follicle to gradually heat and damage it and prevent regrowth. It can be used on all areas of your body including under arms, bikini line, back, upper lip, cheeks, chin, ears and nostrils to remove unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal can selectively target unwanted hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged so it can be used on all skin types including tanned skin.
