How does Laser Hair Removal Work?
lasting results
The wavelengths of light produced by our device are safely absorbed into hundreds of follicles simultaneously in a single pulse of light. This pulse lasts only a fraction of a second, but quickly vaporizes existing hair. The controlled heat disables the follicle’s hair-producing capabilities, leading to lasting results.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
At our office in Bend Laser hair removal can be performed on all areas of the body, including the face, underarms, arms, back, legs, chest, nose, bikini area, and more.
