LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Our Sciton Profile System contains an infrared laser that can selectively target microstructures such as hair follicles. For lighter skin types it is very effective and because of the relatively low absorption of this light by melanin, it is the best choice when treating darker skin types. In addition, the Sciton Profile system can safely treat tanned skin, which makes this system of choice for hair removal in active individuals.  Book an appointment, Click here.
