Unwanted hair treatment – Laser Hair Removal
For many men and women, hair removal is a never-ending, time-consuming and laborious process, but it needn’t be such a hardship. Laser Hair Reduction treatment at Dermiq drastically reduces unwanted hair.
To achieve long lasting or permanent hair reduction, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Carefully selected and controlled pulses of light penetrate the epidermis and are absorbed by only melanin in the hair contained in the follicle, making it one of the safest treatments in the aesthetic field. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce new hair.
Laser hair removal offers practically, painless permanent hair reduction delivering touchable, soft, smooth skin.
A minimum of 6 to 8 sessions is usually required. Some may need up to 8-10 sessions.
A top up session is required once a year after that to maintain the results.
Hairs will reduce in the treatment area after every session and it will become finer giving permanent results.
