Face: Laser hair removal can be performed on various facial areas, including the upper lip, chin, jawline, sideburns, nose, cheeks, ears, and eyebrows.
Upper Body: Laser hair removal is suitable for removing unwanted hair on the neck, shoulders, back, chest, belly line, arms, armpits, hands, and fingers.
Lower Extremity: The laser can effectively treat the bikini area (including the bikini line, extended bikini line, Brazilian, and inner buttocks), buttocks, legs, knees, feet, and toes.
It’s important to note that laser hair removal should not be performed on or around the eyelids or the area around the eyes. Additionally, while laser hair removal can be effective for a wide range of skin and hair types, the best results are typically achieved in individuals with light skin and dark hair due to the traditional laser’s targeting of melanin.
