Use the JOVS hair remover in just two easy steps. First, shave the hair off the surface you want to treat. Second, press the device against the skin to emit a gentle pulse of light to the hair root(twice on each treatment area). Use it three times a week for the first two weeks to slow hair growth and twice a week for the 3rd and 4th week to achieve permanent hair removal. After the treatment period, JOVS can be used once a month to do any touch-up that may be needed.
