EpiLaze Laser Hair Removal
EpiLaze is an advanced laser hair removal system that combines three wavelengths—Alexandrite (755nm), Diode (810nm), and Nd:YAG (1064nm)—to target and permanently reduce unwanted hair on various skin types. This technology allows for customized treatments, making it effective for light and dark skin tones. Consistent energy delivery is ensured by Smooth Flow Technology (SFT), improving accuracy and patient comfort. Furthermore, EpiLaze has Constant Contact Cooling, which shields the skin, lessens pain, and lowers the possibility of irritation while receiving treatment.
EpiLaze can be used on multiple areas, including the face, underarms, back, chest, legs, and bikini area. Most patients require six to eight sessions several weeks apart to achieve long-lasting results. After completing the treatment plan, patients experience significant hair reduction, with any regrowth appearing finer and lighter. If you want an effective, safe, and comfortable hair removal solution, book an appointment at AvaBella Aesthetics in Mount Clemens, MI.
