Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a relatively quick and comfortable means of reducing the amount of body hair a patient has over the long term. Unlike shaving or waxing, which must be done frequently and often cause skin irritation, laser hair removal damages the follicles from which hair grows, preventing hair from appearing for an extended period of time, and sometimes permanently. Unlike electrolysis, which effectively stops hair growth permanently, laser hair removal does not involve individual treatment of each follicle, making it a faster and less painful procedure.

At our Savannah, Georgia practice, we perform laser hair removal with the Genesis laser (which is also used for laser skin resurfacing), a gentle system that is designed to remove undesired hair from the face and body. It works by delivering a pulse of light into the skin through a chilled hand-piece and allowing the light to penetrate the skin and damage the root of the unwanted hair. After treatment, the hair will gradually fall out and not be replaced, leaving smoother skin behind. Because laser hair removal only works on hairs that are in their active growing state, repeat treatments will be necessary to achieve the ideal result.

Laser hair removal treatments will vary in cost, depending on the size of the area being treated. Treatment can be applied to any area of the body, with the exception of the skin immediately surrounding the eyes.
