Laser Hair Removal in Shelby Township, MI
Light that targets the pigment in the hair follicle.
What it is
Laser hair removal sends light into the hair follicle, where the pigment absorbs it as heat. That heat damages the follicle so it grows less hair, or none.
Hair grows in cycles and the laser only reaches follicles in the growing phase, so it takes a series of sessions, spaced weeks apart.

Questions
Does it work on every hair color?
It works best where there's contrast between hair and skin. Very light, gray or red hair has little pigment for the laser to find. We'll check at your analysis.
How many sessions will I need?
We'll tell you after your skin analysis, not before. It depends on your skin and what you want changed, and a number quoted before anyone's looked at you is a guess.
Start with a skin analysis
We look at your skin before we suggest anything. Then you get a plan written for you, and you decide what happens next.
Worried you'll be sold a package? You won't. The analysis tells us what your skin needs, and sometimes that's less than you came in for.
