Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Laser Hair Removal:
This procedure is for the patient who wishes a quicker less painful way of removing unwanted body hair. This procedure does not result in permanent hair removal in all patients but it does reduce the amonount of residual hair following each treatment. Treatments can be with a laser or with an intense pulsed light.
Lasers produce highly focused, intense beams of light that are absorbed by dark pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface and converted to heat, destroying the follicles and preventing hair growth for up to two years. Multiple treatments are required for complete hair removal -- the follicle must be "active" at the time of treatment, and not all follicles are active at the same time. Treatments are needle-free and do not require anesthesia. Most patients feel nothing more than a slight sting like the snap of a rubber band.

The Epilaser is designed to treat unwanted hair of the face and the body. This is the most effective treatment for this procedure.

Laser Skin Resurfacing:
Laser treatment is the quickest and least painful way of removing unwanted hair. This is the most effective treatment for this procedure. It is 100% effective for six months in all patients who are treated. Additional hair is removed with each treatment. More than one treatment is necessary in about 80 % of cases. In dark hair individuals, the Epilaser is 60% effective in permanent hair removal. Blonde, grey, and white haired individuals will have no benefit.

The following is a brief list of the lasers available and what each can do to treat your skin.

• Sciton Erbium: skin aging and freshens previous facelifts. Healing is quicker.
• CO2 UltraPulse used to resurface the skin.
• VersaPulse removes vascular and pigmented lesions, as well as, tattoos and veins.
