Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal utilizes advanced technology to permanently remove hair with completely non-invasive means. This treatment offers our patients an exciting alternative to traditional hair removal methods that only create temporary results. With laser hair removal, you can say goodbye to shaving, tweezing, waxing, and other uncomfortable activities and enjoy the ability to show the world a smooth, clean look.
Laser hair removal enables us to harness the power of advanced laser energy to permanently “deactivate” hair follicles that are creating unwanted hair on various parts of your body. This treatment delivers laser energy to individual hair follicles, where it heats them up until they are permanently unable to grow new hair. You’ll enjoy permanent results that leave you with your ideal look.

Relaxing Those Wrinkles for Ideal Results
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light to remove unwanted hair. The principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. where specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles, generating heat that damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. At Skin MB, our laser hair removal laser has the ability to deliver two wavelengths simultaneously. Optimizing the treatment for different hair and skin types in a single session. This can potentially reduce the number of sessions required and improve patient comfort and satisfaction.
