Both
men and women can find excess facial or body hair
a nagging concern. Many find depilatories, shaving,
plucking, waxing, and electrolysis uncomfortable,
time-consuming and yielding only temporary results.
Laser therapy on the other hand is gentle, safe,
long lasting and non-invasive. With
the use of the industry leading, Soprano™ XL
laser, Dr. Schusterman can safely and effectively
treat areas of unwanted hair, leaving your skin silky
and smooth.
With built in DualChill™ technology,
the Soprano™ XL
laser emits a beam of laser light that safely and gently
removes the hair and prevents re-growth. The treatment
can remove unwanted hair from the legs, arms, back,
shoulders, underarms, upper lip, and the bikini area,
regardless of your hair or skin type. Laser hair removal
is a thoroughly tested, clinically-proven method of
hair removal/ reduction, quickly removing unwanted
hair and leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

Good
Candidates for Laser Hair Removal/Reduction
Basically
anyone with unwanted hair is a good candidate for
laser
hair removal/reduction. Although the most dramatic
results occur in patients with light skin and dark
hair,
it is
possible
for patients with darker skin to receive benefit
from the procedure. Other factors can influence
the
treatment process, and are evaluated during your initial
consultation.
The
Laser Hair Removal/Reduction Procedure
The
laser removal/reduction procedure can take from several
minutes to several hours, depending on the area of
the body involved. A gentle beam of laser light heats
the dermis, instantaneously and permanently disabling
a percentage of hair follicles with each treatment.
By using the Soprano™ XL laser, generally no
analgesics or cooling gels are required because of
the DualChill™ technology already built in
to the laser.

How
Many Treatments are Required?
Laser
therapy is an ongoing process that requires multiple
sessions. Hair grows in cycles and the laser affects
hair only when it is in the early-growth phase. The
laser will disable follicles that are actively producing
hair at the time of treatment. At any time, some hair
follicles are dormant. Repeat sessions will treat these
follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.

After the Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Following a laser hair removal
treatment, patients may occasionally experience a temporary,
slight reddening of the skin or localized swelling. Sunscreen
is recommended for any treated areas exposed to the sun. Otherwise,
there is no down-time associated with this treatment and you can return to
normal activities immediately.
