Introduction to the Yety Laser Protocol
How does a laser work?
1
The laser targets the melanin in the hair without damaging the skin (selective photothermolysis).
2
The heat destroys the hair follicle at the root, preventing regrowth without damaging the surrounding tissue.
3
Hair falls out naturally in the days following the session. The skin remains intact, smoother, and free of ingrown hairs and irritation.
Why are multiple sessions needed?

The Most Popular Areas
Between the eyebrows
The area between the eyebrows is highly visible and is often a source of self-consciousness.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting removal of unwanted hair and gives you a cleaner look, without the need for regular maintenance or the irritation caused by tweezing or shaving.
Beard Trimmer
Laser hair removal around the beard line eliminates unruly regrowth, reduces ingrown hairs, and helps maintain clean lines without the need for daily shaving. The beard always looks neat and well-defined.
This area includes the cheekbones and the neckline. We offer a service to define the permanent beard outline with a specialist prior to the hair removal session.
Armpits
Intimate Areas
More and more men are choosing laser hair removal for the intimate area for reasons of comfort and hygiene.
The treatment provides gradual hair reduction, with protocols tailored to sensitive areas. All areas can be treated safely. Laser hair removal replaces your razor or trimmer for a permanent and more precise result.
