Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a long-lasting solution to achieving reduction of unwanted hair. And with the development of new laser devices, the process is virtually painless and works on most hair and skin types. Hair grows in stages – and the hairs on the body are not all in the same stage at the same time. Only hairs in the growth phase will be affected by this treatment. This means that patients will need multiple treatments to get the best results. Clinical research shows that a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 1-3 months apart are required to achieve permanent hair reduction. The laser specialist will develop a specific plan for your goals.
