Diode Laser - Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatment is a non-invasive, aesthetic procedure that uses a highly concentrated beam of laser light to penetrate the hair follicles.

The pigment in the hair follicle (melanin) absorbs the laser energy and destroys the stem cells to inhibit future hair growth. Laser hair removal is one of the most preferred methods for getting rid of unwanted hair as it is an entirely safe procedure with no downtime.Diode laser(810 nm) is the most commonly used laser for hair removal which effectively targets deep rooted hair and is appropriate for darker as well as lighter skin tones. Triple wavelength laser caters to wider hair types and skin color .
