Procedures - Laser Hair Removal

 
 

Laser hair removal offers a quick, safe and comfortable way to remove unwanted body hair. Unlike other hair removal procedures that focus on individual hairs, laser technology is able to quickly treat large areas of hair at once. In an hour or less, most body areas can be hair free.

Laser hair removal ends the costly repetitive procedures of shaving, tweezing, chemical depilatories, waxing and electrolysis. Based on technology that has been used for nearly a decade, laser hair removal is safe and effective. You will see significant hair reduction of up to 85% to 90% after four treatments.
 

Dr. Rokhsar utilizes the latest in laser hair removal technology including the ND:YAG LASER. The ND: YAG LASER'S advanced technology makes treatment available to patients who previously were not candidates for Laser Hair Removal.

 

Hair grows in cycles. The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair coloring, and coarseness of the hair. Everyone will require at least 3-5 treatments, as the process is only effective on hairs during their growing cycle. Repeated sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.

 

Hair follicles can be effectively targeted by various lasers, destroying them and removing unwanted hair. Multiple treatments are necessary for optimal results. Hair can be safely and effectively treated anywhere on the body including:

  • neck

  • arms

  • arm pits

  • back

  • legs

  • bikini area

The best candidates for laser hair removal are fully able to comply with aftercare instructions, well-educated about the procedure, and have realistic expectations. Here are some criteria to help you decide if you are a good candidate:

  • Dark hair, light skin, and course hair are the easiest to treat. These patients typically see the best results and require fewer treatment sessions.

  • People with dark skin may not be ideal candidates for laser hair removal, but may still benefit from treatment. Under certain circumstances the procedure can be effective.

  • Blond, grey, and red hairs are more difficult to treat with a laser.

  • Tanned patients must wait until the tan fades before treatment.

  • Candidates who suffer from skin disorders such as psoriasis, cystic acne, and dermatitis are not ideal candidates for laser hair removal.

  • Candidates taking certain medications such as Retin-A or Accutane are excluded from treatment.

  • Treatment is not appropriate for people who have a pacemaker, who are pregnant, or who have metal screws in the area where the procedure would be performed.

  • The procedure does not necessarily result in 100 percent reduction of unwanted hair in the first treatment session. Multiple sessions may be needed.
