Women’s Laser Hair Removal - Chin & Anterior Neck
Laser hair removal of the chin and front of the neck is a modern procedure aimed at reducing unwanted hair growth on the lower part of the face and the front surface of the neck. The procedure is performed using the Alexandrite DEKA Again Pro Plus laser (755 nm) and the Zimmer Cryo air cooling system, ensuring precise targeting of hair follicles and comfort during treatment.
This area is considered sensitive and hormone-dependent. Hair growth on the chin and neck may be influenced by individual characteristics and hormonal factors. The 755 nm Alexandrite laser effectively targets pigmented hair, providing gradual reduction and improving the appearance of the skin.
