Laser Hair Removal

The laser emits a light energy, which is then converted into heat. The melanin, the substance that gives the hair its colour, absorbs the laser light emitted which then destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue.

For effective laser hair removal 6-10 sessions minimum are recommended. Some clients may need additional treatments depending on certain factors, for example hormonal imbalances. The number of sessions depends on the body area to be treated, colour and thickness of the hair, skin type and the specific features of each patient.

The device includes an innovative technology that achieves excellent results in permanent reduction of hair and adapts to the conditions and needs of each person. Laser hair removal with Eneka PRO eliminates permanently the active follicles in a course sessions.

Some clients may need a top up session in the future. This is because some hair follicles can lay “dormant” or sometimes hair growth can be stimulated after pregnancy, menopause or taking certain medications for hormonal imbalances.

Due to the high technology and it’s advanced Integrated skin cooling system, the Eneka PRO minimises the pain and protects the skin so the treatment is more comfortable and easily tolerated.

The treatment with Eneka PRO minimises the risks, that are reversible in a short period of time: skin reddening, residual or perifollicular erythema, that disappear in 24/72 hours after the treatment.
