• Long-lasting Results: Say goodbye to daily shaving or frequent waxing.
• Quick & Convenient: Sessions are fast and perfect for busy schedules.
• Precision: Targets only the hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin untouched.
• No More Irritation: Avoid the irritation, redness, and bumps that often come with other hair removal methods.
• Minimal Discomfort: The treatment is generally painless with little to no downtime.

•  Redness & Swelling: Mild redness or swelling may occur around the upper lip, typically lasting a few hours.
• Slight Sensitivity: Your skin may feel tender or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, for 1-2 days.
• No Downtime: You can resume normal activities right away with minimal discomfort.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation.
• Post-Treatment Care: Apply a soothing moisturizer if needed and avoid waxing or tweezing between sessions. Shaving is fine.
