Laser Hair Reduction
We utilize the Light Sheer Laser for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair. The laser energy targets the pigment in the hair-root, which results in hair follicle destruction. This non-invasive technique safely removes unwanted hair from virtually all parts of the body on individuals with fair to dark skin tones. Common areas of treatment are legs, bikini lines, upper lip, underarms and back. It's especially helpful for those who suffer from razor bumps.
