Laser hair removal is available for most skin types as well as most hair types including lighter brown and finer hair.  The advanced cooling system allows for a comfortable treatment and even enhances the treatment's safety and efficacy.  While laser hair removal is mostly done to stop hair growth, many women and men find it helpful to eliminate painful, unattractive ingrown hairs. Also, since the follicle is destroyed during the procedure, patients do not have to worry about stubble or dark spots at the follicle.

Since laser hair removal is very popular these days, the procedure is usually available at med spas or large laser operation centers. Dr. Lupo warns patients that these places have no physician supervision and are no place to get a medical laser procedure. At times, medical causes of excessive facial hair are being overlooked. It is better to get a consult by a qualified board certified dermatologist who will look at you as a patient first and ask the questions that will alert for possible hormonal problems.

If you are fed up with pesky prickles, now is the time to get rid of them once and for all.  Multiple treatment sessions are necessary to eliminate all of the hair as it cycle through the individual growth stages, so schedule a consultation today to get your skin smooth before next year's bathing suit season rolls around again. 

Any patient who receives a laser hair removal treatment by October 31, 2014, will receive 10% off of the first treatment for one area.  Don't forget to mention that you saw this in our newsletter.
