What is laser hair reduction?
Laser Hair Reduction is a quick, non-invasive way to permanently reduce unwanted hair. How does the treatment work? We clean and shave the area to be treated and may apply a numbing cream.

The light penetrates below the skin’s surface just deep enough to target only the bulb of the hair follicle. Because the laser is attracted to pigment, laser hair removal is most effective on targeting hair follicles if your hair is brown or black. The lighter your skin and the darker your hair, the faster laser hair reduction will work for you. Who
