The LightSheer DUET laser hair removal technology we use employs the principle of skin depression, enabling us to remove unwanted hair more gently than with other methods, thanks to its diode tip. This technology responds to the hair problems of both men and women. It’s perfectly suited to your skin type. When treatments are carried out professionally, unwanted hair is destroyed forever. The best statistics point to a permanent hair reduction of 70% to 90%.
Recommended indications
To achieve the desired results, several treatment sessions are required, depending on the degree of hairiness, the area to be removed, its size, hair color and skin type. The initial consultation with our laser hair removal specialists will enable us to assess these different parameters and plan the schedule to be followed. Even with the most powerful lasers, complete hair removal is impossible. New hairs may appear, for example, as a result of hormonal or medicinal influences. However, these new hairs are much finer and rarer than those they replace.
