Whether you desire hair reduction or removal, our FDA cleared medical laser is the safest, most effective method to address hair on the head.
All areas of the body need a minimum of six sessions to start. The scalp has the strongest hair growth and generally needs 6 to 15 sessions to see a 75%-98% reduction in hair growth. Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart until the hair growth cycle begins to slow. Depending on each individual’s progress, sessions become spaced 5 to 7 weeks apart. Please avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks before treatment. Avoid waxing, tweezing and antibiotic use for 2 weeks before treatment. If you are using acne products or medications, please let us know beforehand. Clients should shave the area in preparation.
Fees are determined based on the service provided, not the gender of the client.
