Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a form of epilating hair removal, or hair removal that removes the hair above the dermis and epidermis, as well as portion of the hair follicle below the skin. Similar to waxing or plucking, this procedure allows for longer lasting hair removal than shaving. Laser hair removal is an FDA approved procedure, and has been accepted virtually industry-wide in the dermatological community since the late 1990's for removal of hair from virtually part of the patient's body. In most cases, patients will undergo a series of laser hair treatments over a spaced out period of time for almost permanent hair removal. In some cases, repeated procedures may prove beneficial over time, however, in most cases, individuals will have to give treated areas little to no attention for long periods of time.
