Hair RemovalExcess or unwanted hair can be effectively and safely removed using a number of lasers. In the past, commonly used remedies for unwanted hair included plucking, shaving, waxing, electrolysis or chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy and all are only temporary. We provide a range of lasers which specifically target hair removal in different skin colour types. We are the first to introduce Lumenis LightSheer Duet, which is a state-of-the art diode laser with vacuum-assisted technology to remove unwanted hair with greater speed and significantly less discomfort than other methods. The vacuum-assisted technology and large spot size make hair removal fast and comfortable, without the need for topical anaesthetic and gels.
