Hair follicles grow and re-grow in a cycle, and are effectively treated only when they are entering their active growth phase, termed Anagen. During this phase of their cycle, the follicles are richest in moisture and melanin and therefore most responsive to our hair removal system. For effective hair removal, treatments must be repeated 4-6 times, at intervals of five to fifteen weeks, depending on the area to be treated.
Our Synercool™ skin cooling system reduces the discomfort of the hair removal process while reducing the Erythema (redness) and protecting the skin from thermal damage. $50 for your first treatment on any one area
