Never Have to Shave, Wax or Pluck Again!

The Fountain offers two different kinds of laser hair removal with the advanced Sciton® Joule Laser System: Yag Laser and Broad Band Light (BBL). The Yag laser can be used on all skin types and colors. The BBL is more suited to those with light skin and dark hair.

The end result of both therapies is the permanent elimination of unwanted body and facial hair! It takes 4 – 6 treatments to ensure the hair does not return.
