Laser Hair Removal
If you're tired of shaving, waxing or plucking body hair only to have it return days later, laser hair removal is a great option if you seek long term results. Laser hair removal systems use laser light — an intense, pulsating beam of light — to remove unwanted hair. Common treatment locations include legs, armpits, upper lip, chin and bikini line. Although laser hair removal doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal, it does extend the "hair-free" period, which can vary from several months to several years. With multiple treatments, long-term hair removal is possible.
At Shin Family Medical Clinic we have several machines that can be used for the removal of unwanted hair, and Dr. Shin will decide which is right for you based on your skin color, sensitivity, and hair color.
The Procedure. Our most versatile hair removal laser, the GentleLase, features the Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) to maximize patient safety and comfort. In addition, a topical anesthetic is applied about 30 minutes prior to the treatment to virtually eliminate pain.
Results. Results vary from person to person so the number of treatments needed depends on your specific skin and hair type, but typically range from 4 to 8 treatments, 2 to 4 weeks apart. Multiple treatments are needed for maximum results.
