Laser Hair Removal

Many of our patients come to us as they are tired of the constant waxing, plucking, and worries about unwanted hairs that keep appearing on the face, back, bikini zone, arms, or chest. Modern laser technology makes it possible to achieve a long-lasting result, and smooth, virtually hair-free skin that is healthy and fresh in appearance.

The only way to halt hair growth is to address the follicle where the growth originates. In laser hair removal, the light energy beams work by absorbing the intense light, with the heat of the laser essentially destroying the follicle so it can no longer produce hair.

Hair grows in three stages, and laser hair removal addresses hairs in the “growth” phase, which is about 25 to 30 percent of the hair present in any treatment zone. To complete the process, you will need several laser treatments so newly appearing hairs now entering the growth phase can be targeted. Many people will need yearly “touch-up” appointments – but imagine the difference – rather than a weekly torture session with waxing, plucking, and tweezing, just a once-a-year treatment to keep your skin looking smooth, fresh, and healthy.

Modern laser technology makes it possible to remove unsightly hair in short, pain-free sessions. Special cooling features make the treatment comfortable, and there is no need to be covered with sticky, unpleasant gels or creams. Our state-of-the-art laser hair removal system, the GentleYAG, leaves your skin essentially free from unwanted hair, with your skin smooth and supple, and stimulates natural collagen production.

Rather than scheduling regular waxing, tweezing, plucking, or other traditional methods of hair removal, why not choose a system with longer-lasting results? Use your precious free time for other activities, while saving money in the long run with laser hair removal.

Keeping your face and body looking young, smooth, and free from unwanted hair growth does a lot for your feelings of self-confidence in your body image. Both men and women can be plagued by excess hair appearing in all the wrong areas. A busy life with work, family, and social engagements can make it difficult to keep your skin free from unwanted hair – until now.

Older methods of hair removal involved pain and discomfort – but modern technology makes it possible to remove hair without experiencing unnecessary pain. Treatment is performed in just moments and is effective on all skin and hair colors. The specialized system we use has a cooling feature that makes the process far more comfortable than earlier generations of lasers.

Our hair removal technicians have been extensively trained in the use of the system – a critical point in laser hair removal. Rather than risking your face and body to a cut-rate med spa with employees who likely have limited training, come to us at Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology where your health and safety will be managed correctly.
