Treatments use a LightSheer QUATTRO diode laser with 805nm and 1060nm wavelengths, which the business says can treat all hair types and skin tones. The laser targets pigment in the hair follicles to slow future growth, and the system includes cooling. The procedure is non-invasive, with no instruments touching the skin. Afterward, the site notes minor redness and swelling for a few hours. Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart, with maintenance sessions possibly needed later. Small areas like the upper lip take minutes, while larger areas like the legs take under an hour. Per-session laser prices listed are $35 for the upper lip and chin, $70 for the Brazilian and underarm area, $100 for full legs, and from $250 for the whole body.
