How laser hair removal works
The laser hair removal process, called photothermolysis, consists of carefully timed pulses of laser energy. This pulse passes through the skin and is absorbed and converted to heat energy at the hair follicle. The heat destroys the follicle’s growth center, preventing new hair growth.
Unlike shaving, waxing, or other hair removal options, laser hair removal at SMooth Solutions eliminates hair at the source, permanently, rather than just cutting or removing the existing hair.

Skin tone and laser hair removal
SMooth Solutions only utilizes medical-grade lasers. Other subpar technologies that advertise permanent hair removal aren’t as effective. Worse, these sub-par lasers are sometimes technically manipulated into appearing to be as strong as a “medical grade” laser.
A laser for hair removal will operate at either a 755nm wavelength (Alexandrite fluence) or 1064nm (YAG fluence) to treat a myriad of skin tones for permanent hair reduction and other vascular lesions and skin pigmentations.
The conventional Alexandrite is optimal for skin types I-III and the YAG, skin types IV-VI. Traditional, aser devices only come equipped with one or the other of the two wavelengths, allowing practitioners to treat only certain skin types. SMooth Solutions only uses a dual platform so we can treat all skin types safely, effectively, and permanently.
