What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure which allows you to be permanently without body hair. Laser hair removal should be performed by a certified surgeon for the best effects and can target one or more areas of the body. When properly performed, such as by Dr. Wallace, the procedure results in permanent hair removal, with no visible scarring. This innovative service allows men and women to go without shaving or waxing again.

Where Do People Get Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is an approved procedure for many areas of the body. Both men and women can benefit from laser hair removal to get rid of unsightly hair wherever they may normally shave, wax or pluck. Some of the most common areas treated with laser hair removal are:

• Underarms
• Legs
• Pubic areas
• Bikini Line
• Buttocks
• Face
• Neck
• Chest
• Breasts
• Arms
• Hands
• Toes
• Back
• Abdomen

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by removing unwanted hair by using a specialized laser to target the hair follicle. Our doctor uses a specialized device and moves it from follicle to follicle, emitting pulses of intense light into each one. This intense light is absorbed as heat, which destroys the hair cells and prevents regrowth. Despite using a laser, the procedure is very comfortable, and no pain management is necessary. To ensure each hair follicle will not have any regrowth in the future, our doctor recommends four to six sessions on the targeted area for maximum effectiveness.

Who is a Strong Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is recommended for adult men and women of all ages who struggle with unwanted body hair. Over the years, we spend countless dollars on razors, shaving devices, depilatory creams, waxes and professional threading. Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to all of your hair removal needs. While this procedure is suitable for the vast majority of adults, it is most effective on individuals with pigmentation in the hair. The laser targets the hair follicle by distinguishing it from the surrounding skin, so pigment is necessary for a successful procedure. If you have very light body hair, schedule a consultation to see if this procedure is recommended for you.

How much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

There is no set cost for laser hair removal. The price of the procedure varies according to the size of the area treated and the number of appointments needed. For the cost of your specific procedure, please schedule a consultation at our office. For your convenience, we accept cash, check, Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express® and Discover®.
