Laser Hair Removal
Using the Cutera Laser, Laser Hair Removal offers a targeted approach to reducing unwanted hair on the body. Emitting a concentrated light beam absorbs pigment from hair follicles, which disrupts the hair’s growth cycle. This treatment is effective for various body areas, including the legs, arms, back, underarms, and bikini. Known for its precision, it targets coarse, dark hairs without damaging the surrounding skin.
In West Des Moines, IA, Laser Hair Removal suits individuals tired of traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking. This technology is effective across various types of skin and hair colors, although it works best on those with contrasting hair and skin colors.
