If you’ve been thinking about laser hair removal it’s possible you may have found yourself overwhelmed by the wealth of information available online. With so many conflicting points of view, it can be difficult to know if this procedure is the right one for you. Fortunately, at Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery, we have the experience and know-how to help you determine the best way to treat your unwanted hair.
The Procedure is Quick
As a general rule, each laser hair removal procedure can take anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour. The length of time required will depend upon the area you are treating, but you can rest assured that this non-invasive procedure will be just a short part of your day, which means, you can get back to enjoying your life in no time, only with a little less unwanted hair!
It’s Not Ideal for All Skin Types
Although laser hair removal can be safely completed on all skin types, it is important to ensure that your doctor uses the correct laser and takes the quantity of melanin in your skin into account. Without the proper approach, rare side effects can include lightening or darkening of the skin. Fortunately, Dr. Banks and her team use only the highest standard laser hair removal technology, in addition to the Skintel Melanin Reader to ensure you achieve the results you desire, without any negative side effects.
You May Need More than One Treatment
Although the hair removal procedure is relatively quick, most patients require four to six treatments for best results. There are several variables that influence the number of treatments you may need, including skin tone and hair color. During your scheduled consultation, Dr. Banks will discuss the best course of action for your specific needs.
