We are skilled in the latest treatment techniques available for permanent hair removal. The hair removal laser used at Peachtree Dermatology Associates is safe and effective for all skin types, ranging from very fair to dark brown.
Using a specialized laser that delivers a gentle beam of energy that is passed through the skin to the hair follicle, we can disable follicles that are actively creating hair at the time of treatment, ultimately reducing hair growth. This innovative technology is great for reducing unwanted hair growth on the legs, arms, back, shoulders, underarms, upper lip and bikini area. Depending on the area being treated, sessions may take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
Generally, a series of six to eight treatments will be necessary to achieve the long-term look you desire. We usually space these treatments four to 12 weeks apart. Results vary, but on average, results are noticeable after four to six treatments, with about and 80% reduction in hair growth. Usually, two touch-up treatments are necessary each year to maintain optimum results.
