How it works
During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin and hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth both in men and woman to the targeted areas of concern. Leaving skin smoother.

FAQ
Laser hair removal usually requires two to six treatments. The interval between treatments will vary depending on the location. On areas where hair grows quickly, such as the upper lip, the treatment might be repeated in four to eight weeks.
After you have had laser hair removal done, you should also avoid sun exposure for about two weeks. This gives your treated skin a chance to heal while also reducing your risk of having hyperpigmentation or other problems occur. Remember that even if your skin does not look tanned, it is still being exposed to UV rays.
Certain medications like blood thinners or topical medications like Retinol should be avoid leading up to laser hair removal. Blood thinners will have adverse side effects and Retinol will cause your skin to become even more sensitive to the lasers, causing the treatment process to be extremely painful and irritating.
Many healthcare providers advise that you do not get laser hair removal while you’re pregnant. Laser hair removal is safe, but are currently no long-term studies that analyse the effects of laser hair treatment on unborn children. For this reason, it is best to play it safe.
