Hair Removal

Our highly-skilled Stellar professionals use IPL and fractional laser light to target unwanted hair, both coarse body-hair or the finer hair on the face.

Our technology is so precise that the light energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, matrix, and follicle while not affecting the surrounding skin. Thermal damage to the hair bulb causes thinning/lightening of hair and delay in hair regrowth with the possibility of permanent reduction.

IPL is the treatment of choice for unwanted pigmented hair of any location. These treatments are done in a series of 4 to 6 sessions for optimal results. Due to different hair growth stages, multiple treatments, 4-6 weeks apart, are necessary for hair removal. Consider annual maintenance treatments.

At Stellar, we also offer a variety of different options for waxing.
