How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
All of the laser treatments in Buckinghamshire are completely safe and effective. When you go in for your first treatment, the practitioner will guide light from a flash-lamp to the area scheduled for hair removal.

Laser hair removal Buckinghamshire technicians protect your skin by first applying a thin layer of gel over the treatment area. Your technician will then use a hand-held applicator which transmits the light over your skin. The melanin in your hair absorbs the light and converts it into heat. The hair transmits this heat into the hair follicle, destroying it completely.
