Back and Chest Laser Hair Removal in Seoul

Back and Chest Laser Hair Removal explained

This is laser hair removal for large torso areas: the upper and lower back, shoulders, chest, nipples and stomach. It is mostly requested by men but also by women with hair on the chest or lower stomach. It reduces the need for shaving and helps with body acne made worse by shaving.

How Back and Chest Laser Hair Removal works

Fast diode or alexandrite lasers with large spot sizes cover wide areas quickly, and Nd:YAG is used for darker skin. The laser heats the pigment in each hair and damages the follicle. Body hair grows slowly, so sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
