What’s Included in Full Back Laser Hair Removal?
Full Back covers the upper, middle, and lower back. The treatment can extend partially onto the rear shoulder area where the shoulders meet the back, but it does not include the full shoulders or the neck.
Full Back or Half Back?
Shoulders are treated as a separate zone because the Shoulder treatment includes the front, side, and back of the shoulder rather than only the portion adjoining the back.
If You Cannot Shave Your Back Yourself
The general Glow Lab preparation instruction is to shave body areas the day before laser treatment. Because the back can be difficult to reach, Glow Lab can help prepare the area with a trimmer or razor when the client cannot shave it independently.
Laser Technology Used at Glow Lab
Glow Lab uses Lutronic CLARITY II and Cynosure Elite+ laser systems for laser hair removal. Both systems provide 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths.
Figures are individual to each machine — not a blended protocol.
