What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles, effectively reducing unwanted hair growth. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting it to heat and damaging the follicles responsible for hair production. This process inhibits or delays future hair growth, leading to smoother skin. Laser hair removal can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, and chest. It's a safe and efficient method for achieving long-lasting hair reduction.

What Is SplendorX?

At the Shafer Clinic, we offer SplendorX, a cutting-edge laser hair removal system that combines two wavelengths—Alexandrite and Nd: Yaglaser—in a unique blend, allowing for effective treatment on all skin types. This advanced technology provides faster, more comfortable sessions with customizable settings tailored to your specific needs. SplendorX's square-shaped laser spot ensures even coverage and minimizes the risk of missed areas or overlaps, enhancing the overall effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
