Laser Hair Removal
Say goodbye to shaving or waxing with laser hair removal! Laser hair removal uses light energy that targets and destroys the cells responsible for hair growth, resulting in reduction of unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal works to remove unwanted hair in many areas, including the face, underarms, chest, back, bikini area, and legs. The number of treatments will vary depending on skin pigment, hair color, and hair texture. Laser hair removal treatments lead to long-term hair reduction. Patients should not expect permanent hair removal.
