Laser hair removal is an effective, long-term solution to removing unwanted hair on the face and body. At iGLOW Tan and Spa we are proud to use Sharplight Technology. SharpLight’s innovative and safe med-aesthetic systems offer excellent, lasting hair reduction/removal results with minimum discomfort in a relatively small number of treatment sessions. More specifically, SharpLight’s advanced technologies, based on pulsed light or photoepilation, enable personalized, precise treatments that achieve effective, permanent results. This laser hair removal system caters to clients of all skin types, hair colours, thicknesses and densities, ensuring you can treat all areas of the body and all client profiles. This highly effective laser targets the pigment in the hair and transmits heat energy back to the hair follicle. This laser hair removal method destroys the follicle without damaging the skin or surrounding tissues.

06

Does it hurt?

07

How long does it take?

Technology has come a long way – the process is now virtually painless. The handheld laser device uses a cooling tip to ensure that the surface of the skin remains cool while it targets the hair follicle, so the procedure is comfortable. At most, this sensation is like little pinches, or like snapping a rubber band against your skin. It hurts far less than waxing, especially in the more sensitive areas of the body like the bikini line.

The length of a Laser Hair Removal treatment session will vary depending on the size of the area being treated. For smaller areas like the upper lip, sessions can be as short as just 3-7 minutes! Larger areas like the legs or back can take up to an hour.
