About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal targets the pigment in hair follicles with concentrated light, disabling follicles in their active growth phase. Because only a portion of hairs are actively growing at any moment, a series of sessions spaced weeks apart is needed to catch each follicle at the right time — after which most patients enjoy long-lasting, often dramatic hair reduction. Having treatment in a dermatology office means settings matched carefully to your skin tone and hair color, which is where both safety and results are won.

Ongoing Care

Treated areas may be mildly red for a few hours, and treated hairs shed over the following one to two weeks. Avoiding sun exposure before and after sessions reduces the risk of pigment changes, and occasional maintenance sessions keep results at their best. We will assess your hair and skin type and map out a treatment series at your visit.
