Excess Hair Removal Treatments

Many men shave their backs to reduce their excessive back hair. Laser hair removal has been proven to be very effective for significant hair reduction.

We have recently purchased the GentleLaser Pro LE, an updated version of the industry leading laser hair removal. This is the most effective system on the market and now Candela/Syneron has improved it.  In addition, we have the CoolGlide Xeo for dark skin patients (African-American, Hispanic, or East Indian).  Usually, a series of 6 treatments over 6 to 12 months will lead to significant hair reduction.

Excess hair in the bikini area can range from being a nuisance to causing ingrown hairs and constant inflammation. Removal of bikini hair is the best long-term solution to this problem and does not increase the risk of ingrown hairs like waxing or shaving can.  You can design the boundaries of the hair removal you desire.  3-6 treatments in most cases will set you free from shaving and waxing.

Facial hair can be genetic, or in women, it can be due to a hormonal imbalance.  Most of the time excess facial hair is genetic or due to aging.

Mustache, sideburn, and chin hair is the most common of excess facial hair in women. Sometimes facial hair is a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome, which can cause excess facial hair and acne.  If there is a suspicion of that due to excess hair, acne, and the irregular menstrual cycle then we will recommend blood work or evaluation by a gynecologist or endocrinologist in addition to the laser treatment. Men often complain about the neckbeard, especially the lowest part that may be more prone to ingrown hairs or have an irregular lower border and is difficult to shave. Ingrown hairs otherwise know as pseudofolliculitis barbae, is the most common cause for men to want hair removal.  Occasionally people want to have their unibrow treated.  Laser hair removal is one of the most mature laser treatments available. With dark skin, patients need to seek out the correct laser so as not to get injured.
