Is Laser Hair Removal Right for Me?

Laser hair removal is right for you if you have unwanted hair that makes you self-conscious. Laser hair removal is very effective at eliminating unwanted or excess hair.

How is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

Laser hair removal is performed using pulses of intense light energy targeted at hair follicles in the area where the unwanted hair exists. When the laser hits the targeted area, the pigment in the follicles absorb the light, which in turn, turns it to heat to eliminate the hair follicle so that the hair falls out. Laser hair removal requires several treatments to eliminate all the hair in the targeted area since each hair is typically in a different stage of the growth cycle. Each treatment is spread out over several weeks. There is little to no discomfort with laser hair removal.

On What Areas of the Body is Laser Hair Removal Possible?

Laser hair removal can be performed on the face, back, legs and arms, as well as the bikini line and underarms.

How is the Recovery from Laser Hair Removal?

Initially, the skin may appear to have a pink tint to it, similar to a sunburn. If necessary, cold compresses may be applied but is typically not needed. Patients are urged to stay out of the sun to prevent any discoloration of the skin. The hair typically falls out about a month after the treatments.
