About the Treatment
Our center employs highly qualified medical specialists of the first and highest qualification categories with work experience of at least 10 years.
Laser hair removal can rid you of the pain and inconvenience of shaving and waxing, which can be time-consuming. It is also a great solution for men and women to remove unwanted hair that grows in areas such as the back, shoulders, chest, belly, arms, legs, armpits, and private areas. Laser is an effective method to remove facial hair as well as body hair permanently for both men and women across a certain number of sessions.
How does it work?
Laser hair removal works by beaming a highly concentrated light directed to the hair follicles. The pigments in the follicle absorb the light, which in turn breaks down the follicle and prevents the hair from regrowing.
Our practitioners are skilled and our machines are FDA- Approved.
To each his very own Laser Hair Removal Machine.
We operate differently, and believe that every patient must have a customized experience that fits his/her concerns. For that reason, Silkor Laser & Medical Centers host FDA- approved machines that fit all skin types and hair colors. Hence why the client’s concerns are addressed in the free consultation performed prior to every treatment.

On average people describe a feeling of moderate stinging or tingling. However, pain is relative to every person – once you undergo your first session you will start calibrate your threshold accordingly.
You are also offered the option of applying a topical anesthetic cream. Also, a lot of patients report feeling less pain, during LHR, after applying our double cooling technology that numbs the skin, reduces swelling, enhances healing and prompts safety.

With the new advancements in the field of laser hair removal, you are not required to remove hair with a razor before treating facial areas.
Laser hair removal will not work on white, grey, light red or light blond hair follicles – we usually treat these cases using Electrolysisince it doesn’t rely on targeting the pigment in the follicle to kill the hair. Women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), may experience poor results unless they receive medical support along with the laser treatment.
You will start seeing results after your very first session, and you will notice all through your treatment that hair in treated areas is dwindling. Eventually, you will reduce 15% to 20% of hair growth permanently each session.
