Laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for reducing unwanted hair on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, bikini line, and underarms. This treatment uses concentrated light beams that target hair follicles, permanently reducing hair growth over time. The latest laser technology allows for effective treatment on all skin types and tones, delivering long-lasting results without the pain or irritation of waxing or shaving.
Each session lasts between 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. A series of 6-8 sessions is usually recommended for the best results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. During the treatment, the laser targets hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin.
The Candela GentleMax Pro is the gold standard of all the laser hair removal systems on the market. It is the state-of-the-art laser hair removal system that combines two laser technologies (Alexandrite and Nd:YAG) to safely and effectively treat all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest skin.
The laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The energy from the laser heats the follicle, damaging it to prevent future hair growth without harming the surrounding skin.
