how it works
The simple version
Targets Hair Follicles Directly
Laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle, disabling its ability to grow new hair, while leaving surrounding skin unaffected.
Works With Your Hair Growth Cycle
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed to catch follicles at the right stage for lasting reduction.
