How is the Laser Hair Removal procedure performed
Safe & Comfortable
At 4U Body&Skin, we use a diode laser of new generation of 2022.
The laser machine is suitable for all skin and hair types. Our certified specialists will select individual settings for each client.
How does a laser work? It is the hair shaft and bulb (hair follicle) that are the main target. The laser focuses its beam of light on the pigment in your hair follicles.
This allows preventing re-growth of hair. In this way the laser kills the follicle at the root.
