Setting the Device:
Choose the appropriate settings based on your skin type and hair color. Follow the device's instructions for the correct settings.
Treatment:
Hold the device against the skin and press the trigger to emit the laser pulse.

Considerations
Skin Type:
Laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair. Those with darker skin tones or lighter hair may require more sessions or professional treatments.
Frequency of Use:
Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results. The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the area being treated.
Professional vs. Home-Use Devices:
Professional devices used in salons are more powerful and can cover larger areas in less time. Home-use devices are more affordable and convenient but may require more sessions for the same results.
