Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair With Laser Hair Removal

Having to deal with unwanted body hair through shaving, waxing, or plucking can quickly become inconvenient and time-consuming. However, if you let unwanted hair continue to grow in undesirable areas, it can make you feel self-conscious or unattractive. At the Forman Plastic Surgery medspa, we offer laser hair removal to help patients deal with this frustrating situation.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that targets the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and preventing future hair growth. Laser hair removal is a safe, effective, and long-lasting alternative to traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, and plucking. It is commonly used to remove hair from areas such as the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, and back.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

If you’d like a long-term solution to undesirable hair, you could be a good candidate for laser hair removal. Candidates meet the following criteria:

  • Have light skin and dark hair (for optimal results)
  • Have no active skin infections near the treatment area
  • Have reasonable expectations for the treatment
  • Have the desire to eliminate hair in one or more areas of the body

What Is the Laser Hair Removal Procedure Like?

After you’ve had a quick consultation with Dr. Forman or one of our other providers to create your customized treatment plan, the laser hair removal treatment will be an outpatient service performed right at our clinic. On the day of the treatment, you will need to shave the area to be treated. Your technician will also apply a cooling gel or spray to protect your skin from the laser. During the procedure, they will use a handheld laser device to target the hair follicles in the treatment area. Once this process is finished, a cooling cream or gel may be applied to soothe your skin.

Recovery and Aftercare

Typically, there’s little recovery time required after laser hair removal treatment. However, it will be essential to take care of the treated area to avoid complications and achieve optimal results. You’ll need to keep the following in mind:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure
  • Keep the area clean
  • Avoid hot baths and showers
  • Refrain from scratching the area
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
