Xlase Plus AlexPro Laser Hair Removal
Our italian AlexPro laser has become the go-to method for hair removal due to its effectiveness and long-lasting results. Laser hair removal is one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments in the United States. Although it requires multiple sessions, laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction. As demand for hair removal on larger body areas increases, the current technologies have limitations, such as longer treatment times, limited safety, and difficulty in treating various skin types. The gold standard in hair removal combines multiple wavelengths and diode technology, providing excellent results for all skin types.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal works through selective photo-thermolysis, targeting the entire hair structure from the shaft to the follicle. Light energy with a specific wavelength is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, causing rapid heating and thermal necrosis of the follicles’ regenerative structures.
