Gooood morning Bay of Quinte!

Belleville’s got the glow again this October, our city landmarks are basically mood lighting pros — changing colours each week to support some seriously awesome causes.

From pink & blue to purple & green, we’re lighting up like it’s a month-long dance party (but, you know, meaningful).

Each colour has a story — and yep, you can request your own lighting too.

Say goodbye to shaving, waxing and tweezing!

Our Triton Laser permanent hair removal system uses multi wavelength energies (Diode, Alexandrite or ND:Yag) simultaneously to treat all your unwanted hair concerns!

Fast, effective and comfortable for all skin and hair types. You will begin to see hair is reduced with each treatment and final results are averaging 3-6 sessions.

The fall and winter is the best time for laser hair removal and sessions are spaced out around 6 weeks apart. Book in for your complimentary consultation and see if laser is right for you!
