How does bbl hair removal work?

BBL hair removal is a light-based treatment that targets the melanin (the pigment that gives your hair color) in your hair follicles. It evenly heats hair follicles throughout the treatment area, minimizing the areas that are often missed with other traditional hair removal treatments. A set of spot-size adaptors allow us to treat large areas treated quickly, and smaller areas with high precision.

How many treatments will I need?

Hair has three phases of growth, and these cycles vary with the location on the body. BBL hair removal can only remove hair that is in its active growth phase; therefore multiple treatments are needed. On average, about four to eight treatments can achieve optimal results. These treatments are performed every four to eight weeks, depending on the area to be addressed.
