If all other methods of hair removal do not work for you, then you should consider laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is the process of permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is popular because of its speed, efficiency and relatively low cost. Some of the benefits of laser hair removal are:
- Improved self confidence
- Great look
- Money saving
- Time saving
- Elimination of ingrown hairs, razor burns and skin rash
What makes you a good candidate? Individuals with dark, course hair and fair skin are the ideal candidates for laser hair removal. Although, with new technology some lasers are successful on dark hair and dark skin and even lighter, finer hair. It is important to have a consultation and a patch test for best results.
Laser hair removal is a relatively painless process with little to no side effects. A laser machine omits a wavelength of intense light. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) within the hair and deters or stops future growth. A good candidate will require 3 – 5, short sessions.

His office would be happy to set up a consultation to discuss the process and determine if you are a a good candidate for laser hair removal.
