Hair Removal
How can you best remove hair you have growing where you don’t want it? Whether it is hair on the face, armpits, legs, bikini line, or other body parts, many women and men are intent upon having the hair on their scalp be the only visible hair on their bodies. Dermlaze skin laser centre brings a new approach to laser hair removal.
Our diode laser hair removal treatment is very effective for lighter skin types and, because of the relatively low absorption of this light by melanin; it is the best choice when treating dark skin types too. Additionally, it has the ability to safely treat sun-tanned skin making this the treatment of choice for active lifestyle individuals.
During consultation, our physician will discuss the treatment with you and decide if you need a topical anaesthetic cream. Treatment time will depend upon the area to be treated. A system for cooling your skin will be used to remove heat as it leaves the follicles and should ensure a comfortable treatment. However, since the sensation varies from individual to individual, a topical anaesthesia can be provided. Otherwise, inform our physician if you are very sensitive.
