Laser Hair Removal
Sessions are spaced out over time to match the hair growth cycle.
Sessions are timed to your hair growth cycle
Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the hair follicle. Because hairs grow in different phases, they can't all be treated at once, so we schedule several sessions at intervals.
Device settings and intervals vary depending on the area, the thickness and color of the hair, and your skin tone. We'll explain how to shave the day before and what to avoid ahead of time.
