Facial hair can be a source of frustration, whether it’s a few stray hairs or thicker, more noticeable growth. If you’ve been looking for a long-lasting solution to unwanted facial hair, facial laser hair removal at Dermis Advanced Skin Care in Ottawa may be the answer. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for permanently reducing hair growth, leaving you with smoother, hair-free skin.
How Does Facial Laser Hair Removal Work?
Safe, targeted technology for silky skin
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and damage the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. During treatment, the pigment in the hair absorbs the light, and the laser energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicle and prevents further hair production. The treatment is precise, targeting only the hair while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
