Laser Hair Removal
Easy, Painless - Laser Hair Removal
If you’re not happy with shaving, tweezing, threading or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair.
How Does It Work
We use Gentle Laser Hair Removal Products from Candela. It Target the hair follicle with laser energy, destroying it at its root while preserving the surrounding skin:
- Smoother skin, free of unwanted hair
- Effective
- Ultra-Fast
Laser energy is delivered through a small handpiece operated by your practitioner. The laser delivers an intense beam of light, which is absorbed by the hair follicle while the surrounding tissue remains unaffected. Your skin may be red immediately following the procedure. This typically lasts from a few minutes to several hours after the procedure.
Gentle Hair Removal Treatments use a patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which prepares the skin for treatment by spraying the upper layer with a cooling burst of cryogen just milliseconds before the laser pulse. DCD helps ensure that Gentle Hair Removal Treatments area as Comfortable as they are Effective.
Yes, this treatment is useful for all kind of skins and this can be useful for any age men and women.
Like other laser treatment is the only one simple precaution that one need to avoid direct sun exposure only.
