Advanced, Gentle, and Long-Lasting Results for Men and Women


Smooth, Hair-Free Skin with BBL™ Hair Removal

Say Goodbye to Shaving, Waxing, and Ingrown Hairs

Tired of the discomfort and hassle of traditional hair removal methods? With BBL™ (broadband light) technology, you can achieve smooth, hair-free skin safely and effectively. Ideal for both men and women, this treatment targets unwanted hair on the face and body, delivering long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Science Behind BBL™ Hair Removal

How It Works

BBL™ laser energy targets the melanin in your hair follicles, heating and destroying the stem cells responsible for hair growth. This advanced technology also disables the hair follicle’s nutrient supply, ensuring effective hair reduction during the active growth phase.

Why Choose BBL™?

  • Innovative Technology: Targets hair follicles without damaging surrounding skin.
  • Versatile Treatment Areas: Legs, bikini area, underarms, back, face, and more.
  • Safe for All Skin Types: Settings are customized for safety and effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Hair Removal Treatments

Am I a Candidate?

Is BBL™ Hair Removal Right for You?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Experience irritation, redness, or ingrown hairs from shaving.
  • Are tired of the pain and inconvenience of waxing or electrolysis.
  • Want a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair.
  • Have hair on areas like the legs, underarms, bikini line, back, or face that you’d like to reduce.
What to Expect

Before Your Treatment

  • Avoid tanning, including sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners, for at least 2-4 weeks prior to your session.
  • Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment.
  • Avoid waxing or plucking for at least 4 weeks prior, as these remove the follicle necessary for laser targeting.



During Your Treatment

  • Protective eyewear is provided.
  • A clear ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area.
  • You may feel mild discomfort, often described as warmth or a snapping sensation.
  • Sessions range from 10-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.


After Your Treatment

  • Expect a hair-free period following each session.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect treated areas.
  • Hair will begin to shed over the following weeks, and regrowth will be softer and finer.
