Hair reduction is a series, not a single appointment — and the settings matter more than the machine.
Marina treats each area on its own schedule, adjusting energy as hair thins across the series. At consultation she will tell you what your hair colour and skin tone realistically allow, including when laser is not the right tool.
What it is
A handpiece delivers pulses of light that are absorbed by pigment in the hair and converted to heat, affecting the follicle while the hair is in its active growth phase.
Because only part of the hair in any area is growing at a given moment, treatments are spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the region.
What it can address
Benefits
Fewer ingrowns
Reducing density is usually the most effective route out of a cycle of ingrown hair and irritation.
Settings, adjusted
Energy is re-evaluated at every visit rather than fixed at your first appointment.
Realistic planning
You will know the expected number of sessions for your area before you commit.
Same practitioner
Marina performs every session and keeps your parameter history.
Treatment areas
The appointment
Assessment and test
Skin tone, hair colour and history are reviewed; a test area confirms starting parameters.
Preparation
The area is cleansed and mapped. Eye protection for everyone in the room.
Treatment
Underarms take minutes; full legs closer to an hour. Cooling runs throughout.
Aftercare and scheduling
Soothing product applied, aftercare explained, next session booked to your area interval.
Marina would rather treat you conservatively over ten sessions than aggressively over six. Skin that has been over-treated does not respond better — it just takes longer to settle.

No. It is hair reduction: significantly less hair, growing back finer. Hormonal changes can reactivate follicles, particularly on the face, so occasional maintenance is normal. Anyone promising permanent removal is overstating what the technology does.
