💯 Laser Hair Reduction ⚡️We call it a reduction because even with laser light energy it is not a 100% permanent removal of hair as some of it can grow back. However the results are still PHENOMENAL!

Lots of reason to get laser hair reduction:
- ingrown hairs
- hair in unwanted areas
- too thick of hair
- pre-surgery requirements

Beware of the marketing that says removal 😊
