Laser Hair Removal
What is laser hair removal?
To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin into the hair follicle. The follicle absorbs the energy and is destroyed, therefore unable to ever produce hair again.
How does it work?
Add it all up, and the average woman will spend over 2 months of her life shaving unwanted body hair. Managing unwanted hair growth takes time, because the hair just keeps coming back.
Laser Hair Removal gets to the root of the problem. By significantly reducing the number of growing hairs by as much as 86%, laser hair removal gives you effective, permanent hair reduction anywhere you have unwanted hair. Whether it is on your face, legs, back, bikini line – you can have proven permanent hair reduction.
At Symmetry, we use a wide variety of lasers so that hair removal for skin of all colours, even dark skin can be safely treated.
