Laser Hair Removal
Screened first. Protective eyewear always.
Laser light targets the hair at the root, one area at a time, over a course of sessions. How it goes depends on your skin type and your hair, so we assess both first and do a test patch where it is needed. Results differ from person to person, and some hair can come back.
Results vary and are not guaranteed. If screening shows it is not right for you, we will postpone it or suggest something else.
