What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective treatments for those who want a more permanent solution to unwanted hair. A clinically proven treatment that is fast, effective and comfortable.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses light energy to permanently damage or destroy individual hair follicles. This treatment targets the roots beneath the surface of the skin using a medical grade laser to prevent regrowth.
The hair follicle must be targeted at a specific time during its growth cycle to prevent the hair from returning. As individual hairs could be in different parts of the hair growth cycle at any one-time, multiple treatments are required for the maximum removal of hair. Therefore, whilst most clients will see a difference from their first treatment, we usually recommend 6-8 appointments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
