Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a powerful laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) to remove unwanted hair. This light source heats and destroys hair follicles in the skin, which disrupts hair growth. Common areas to treat are the face, chest, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini lines.
Lynton’s virtual classroom Hair Removal Masterclass is a 1-day theory course suitable for anyone of any experience level wishing to expand their knowledge in the area of hair removal treatments with advanced technology.
