BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL
✦ Permanent Hair Reduction A typical course achieves 80–90% lasting reduction, with the majority of treated follicles never regrowing.
✦ Safe on Every Skin Tone Triple-wavelength technology (755nm, 810nm, 1064nm) treats all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker tones older lasers cannot.
✦ Crystal Freeze® Comfort Sapphire cooling chills the skin to 0–5°C as the laser fires, so most patients feel only a warm flick.
✦ Ends Ingrown Hairs & Razor Bumps The most effective long-term solution for ingrown hairs and pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps).
✦ Smoother Skin, Less Maintenance No more shaving rash, waxing regrowth or daily upkeep — just clear, smooth skin.
WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment in the hair follicle.
The energy is absorbed and converted to heat, disabling the follicle's ability to regrow hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
The AW3 V-Combi Plus combines three wavelengths in one applicator, with a precision mini-tip for smaller and more delicate areas.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
The treatment works by targeting follicles during their active growth phase, which is why a course of sessions is needed to catch every hair at the right stage.
As the Crystal Freeze® tip cools the skin surface, the laser delivers full therapeutic energy to the follicle beneath.
Over a course of 6–8 sessions, treated follicles are progressively disabled, producing permanent hair reduction.
