Venus Versa laser hair removal is powered by Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, which targets the pigment called melanin under the skin's surface. The Venus Versa hair removal applicator includes the state-of-the-art SmartPulse technology to consistently and precisely deliver energy to the skin through advanced pulse optimization.

Melanin absorbs the light energy, permanently destroying the hair follicles in the treatment area without harming the surrounding tissues. Since IPL targets the pigment under the skin's surface, it delivers the best results for light to medium skin tones with darker hair. It may work on darker skin tones, but there's a higher risk of skin discoloration.

Venus Versa laser hair removal treatments may not work well on fair or gray hair because there isn't enough pigment to absorb the light energy. Most individuals require multiple laser sessions timed strategically to ensure all the hair follicles are treated when they're in the growth stage, which is when the treatment is most effective.
