Laser depilation

Laser hair removal - treatment characteristics

The laser uses the phenomenon of selective photothermolysis. During operation, the emitted light beam is absorbed by melanin (skin pigment). This process converts the light energy into heat and irreversibly damage to the hair follicle.

Epilation usually lasts several minutes (for smaller areas, such as the moustache or armpits). For those who wish to benefit from laser depilation of the legs or back, the duration of one treatment session is correspondingly longer.
