Hair Removal
with
Venus Velocity
Are you ready to get rid of your razor? If so its time to start
FAST & COMFORTABLE LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Hair grows in a cycle of three stages: growth, transitional and resting. Venus Velocity uses laser technology to target the hair follicle in the anagen phase, which is when the hair responds best to the treatment. About 30% of hair is in this phase at any given time, which is why you need multiple treatments to see results. Venus Velocity works by delivering energy to the hair follicle, where it’s absorbed by the hair pigment. This destroys the follicle so that the hair cannot grow anymore, resulting in permanent hair removal.
Multiple sessions are needed for Laser Hair Removal because hair grows in different stages. The number of sessions and the duration of each session will vary for each patient depending on the area being treated. Consult your certified aesthetician to create a treatment plan that will work best on your skin tone and hair type.

Comfort & Safety
How it works
What to expect
Venus Velocity can remove unwanted hair in less time than traditional treatments, even for large areas of the body. There is no downtime so you can return to your regular routine immediately afterward. We do ask you to stay away from the sun for the two weeks that follow your treatment. Do not tan in tanning beds or use tanning cream while you are getting laser treatments.
Venus Velocity is safe for all skin tones, including naturally tanned skin. The advanced cooling system works on contact to ensure your skin is always protected, so you can enjoy a more comfortable treatment. Let your technician know if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant and or nursing as these are contraindications for lasers.
