The treatment works by an intense, pulsating beam of light being passed through the skin, to an individual hair follicle. This laser damages or destroys the base of the hair follicle which hampers future hair growth. Following a treatment session, the hairs in the treated area will fall out.

What's a treatment session like?

A regular session may last between fifteen minutes to one hour depending on the size of the area being treated. The number of sessions required will be dependent on your hair and skin types. An effective treatment course will be tailored for you with sessions scheduled Four to six weeks apart.
