Make Summer More Delightful with Laser Hair Removal

Have you ever suffered through a social situation wondering whether the stubble on your legs, upper lip or elsewhere was being noticed by others?

Miserable, isn’t it?

You ask yourself: How could I have forgotten to wax or shave before I went out?



We Have the Most Revolutionary Equipment
We recently purchased the revolutionary Soprano XL for laser hair removal. Forget everything you’ve heard about this procedure from people who did it years ago. The new  Soprano XL laser revolutionizes laser hair removal by

• Working just as well on dark-skinned, dark-haired people as lighter-complected patients (before the Soprano XL came along, physicians used to turn away laser hair removal patients who had tans!).
  
  
• Virtually eliminating the pain element.
  

Yes, we’ve got the only virtually painless laser hair removal technology on the market! The sapphire tip on the laser hand piece provides intense cooling, while sending heat down into the hair shaft to destroy the follicle. The result: completely comfortable, reliable hair removal.

In fact, our laser hair removal is so comfortable that many patients have compared it to a hot stone massage.

No Missed Spots
The hand piece is used in a sweeping motion over areas where you have unwanted hair. There are no missed or skipped spots, as with older techniques. The comprehensive coverage means smooth legs, arms, backs and stomachs -- without pain.

It’s All About Freedom
As one of my patients put it, “For the first time I can throw on a bathing suit without even thinking about checking my body for hair. It’s a whole new ball game.”

Another woman talked about going on a week-long rafting trip in the Grand Canyon: “I used to have to pack a razor and mirror with my camping gear. I’d be out there enjoying nature when my husband would point out I had stubble on my upper lip! It was mortifying.”

Unwanted Hair Is Common
Surveys indicate that 80% of women and over 50% of men have unwanted hair in various body areas. Much of this unwanted hair is genetic, but sometimes it is the result of other causes, for example, testosterone treatments. We’re finding that men are increasingly interested in hair removal.

Men commonly want hair removed from between the eyebrows, around the outside of the ears, and on their shoulders and backs.

Why It Takes More Than One Session
Our patients often ask us why they have to come back 5 times or so after their initial laser hair removal treatment.

The reason is that hairs that are visible at any given time constitute only about 20% of your total hairs. Another 80% of your hair is in a resting phase: the follicles are not growing hair.

Laser hair removal works only on hair in the growing phase, and works best on follicles in the early part of the growing phase. So, any permanent hair removal treatment only targets a percentage of your follicles. Continued treatments are needed to treat the remaining follicles as they progress into the early phase of the hair growing cycle.

It’s Worth It
Yes, it takes a bit of time and patience to get the perfectly smooth, hairless look you want in strategic areas of your body. But more and more people are deciding it’s worth it. Please call our office to schedule your laser hair removal treatment!
