Learn more about the type of lasers used:

• Candela GentleMax Pro: The YAG 1064nm laser is ideal for darker skin tones due to its lower melanin absorption, this laser reaches deep into hair follicles to target the bulb and papilla, for more effective hair removal.
• Alexandrite Wavelength: Suited for the widest range of hair types and colors, particularly olive, light-colored, and thin hair. Powerful, superficial energy absorption through the skin allows the wavelength to target the bulge of the hair follicle for more effective removal of embedded hairs such as those found on the upper lip or eyebrows.

Most individuals achieve desired long-lasting hair reduction with a series of 6-8 sessions. Your technician will advise on a personalized plan during consultation.

Laser hair reduction is most effective when hair is in its active growth phase. Since not all hairs are in this phase at once, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are necessary to target all hair follicles.

Metro Laser utilizes advanced technologies like the YAG 1064nm and Alexandrite wavelengths, designed to treat a wide range of skin and hair types. Suitability for your specific skin tone will be confirmed during your initial consultation.

Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap against the skin, or a mild warming. Any discomfort is typically brief.

You may notice a reduction in hair growth and density after just a few sessions. Optimal results usually appear after completing your full series of treatments.

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction. While many clients experience significant and lasting results, individual outcomes can vary. Some may require occasional touch-up sessions.

While many clients enjoy extended periods of smooth skin, some may opt for occasional touch-up sessions to maintain their desired level of hair reduction, as new hair follicles can develop over time.

Metro Laser offers treatments for a variety of extra small, small, medium, and large areas. Please refer to the "Choose Your Area" section on this page for a detailed list.
