Efficiency

Laser pulses last a fraction of a second, and many hairs can be treated simultaneously.

Speed

Areas like the upper lip can be treated in minutes, while larger areas, such as the back or legs, take about an hour.

Permanent Reduction

After completing a series of treatments, patients can expect long-lasting hair reduction with minimal regrowth.

Reduced Ingrown Hairs

How the Procedure Works?

The laser hair removal process uses a concentrated light beam (laser) absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. As a result of the laser’s heat, the hair follicle is damaged, which inhibits future hair growth.

Pre – Treatment Tips

    • Shave The Area: Shaving the day before your treatment ensures that the laser can effectively reach the hair follicles.

    • Skip Other Hair Removal Methods: Stay away from waxing, plucking, and electrolysis in the weeks before your treatment to allow the laser to work.

Post – Trestment Tips

    • Apply Soothing Creams: If you experience redness or irritation, apply aloe vera or other gentle, cooling products to calm the skin.

    • Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks after treatment.

    • Exfoliate Gently: After a few days, gently exfoliating the skin can help remove dead hair follicles as they shed.
