What’s Included in the Shoulders Area?
The Shoulder treatment is defined as the shoulder itself rather than the adjoining arm or back. If the treatment needs to continue from the shoulder onto the arm, that additional area belongs to the Upper Arm treatment.
Shoulders vs. Back
The Shoulder zone includes the front, side, and back of the shoulders. This is different from Full Back treatment, which may partially reach the rear shoulder area where the shoulders meet the back but does not include the complete Shoulder zone.
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.

Contraindications
We do not perform this treatment during pregnancy; with an active infection, open skin damage or marked irritation in the area; with suspicious or unassessed lesions in the area; after recent active tanning if your specialist considers the treatment unsafe; or while you are taking or using medication or products that contraindicate laser treatment.
Isotretinoin, photosensitising medication, a tendency to keloid scarring, certain medical conditions and other medical factors are assessed individually through the intake form, waiver and our protocol. If there is any doubt, the treatment is postponed.
Before your treatment
Before your treatment, we review medications, recent sun or tanning, pregnancy, active skin conditions or infections, recent procedures, and relevant medical history. Your specialist confirms that the treatment is appropriate for you.
