LASER HAIR REMOVAL


The Alexandrite laser removes unwanted facial and body hair. This laser emits a wavelength of 755nm. The laser light emits a beam of light which passes through the skin to the base of the hair follicle where heat is used to destroy the follicle without hurting the overlying skin. This laser also uses a spray of coolant onto the skin prior to the laser impulse which provides decreased pain for the patient and also allows the laser light to selectively target the hair.

The best candidates for laser hair removal are lighter skinned patients with dark hair. The patient should not be tan nor have had electrolysis, plucked, or waxed the hair for about six weeks prior to the treatment. The degree of discomfort varies from patient to patient and on the site, but topical anesthesia can also be used. Immediately following the treatment the area may be red or pink and slightly swollen, which may last a few hours or days.

Multiple treatments are needed for best results, but it is difficult to give an exact number for each individual patient.
