I'd read up on this laser and the reviews all said it was the worlds no1 laser hair removal treatment, and I can safely vouch that it's true. It uses the 3 best lasers at the same time in one treatment, and It's painless as it ices the skin too. I felt no discomfort whatsoever, it was actually relaxing. After my first treatment the hair fell out within a week, the man 5 weeks later I only had sparse hairs growing from my next hair cycle and had to postpone my next treatment till new hairs grew!! I've completed 3 treatments now and don't think I'll need more, there's nothing there. Many thanks to the lovely staff and their meticulous work, great job x
