Permanent Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal continues to be an important part of the beauty industry. Since the mid 90's the hair removal lasers has come a long way and now we can introduce our Diode 808 Laser.
The treatment with this innovative laser technology leads to permanent hair removal after just a few procedures. The treatment is suitable for all pigmented hair and skin types, including fair skin and olive or African-American skin.
How does permanent hair removal work?

Diode 808 Laser allows safe deep penetration into the skin. The infrared light absorbing the melanin is highly-efficient and reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation.
The laser concentrates a particular ray of light at a wavelength that is targeted at melanin in the hair and/or at the follicle growth core. Melanin is the substance that gives tone to the skin, as well as the hair. The laser light ray reaches the underlayer of the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle.
