Along with

Women’s Health has added Laser Hair Removal to its list of services.
Laser treatment for hair removal is an exciting
area within laser medication and surgery. Using the Lightsheer TM laser,
approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction, the providers at Center
For Women’s Health are now able to perform safe, affective, affordable
and permanent laser hair removal.
How does laser hair removal
work?
The procedure involves laser
energy that is delivered through the skin to the pigment granules in the
hair follicles, known as melanin. As a result of this energy (heat)
absorption by the hair shaft future hair reduction is retarded or
prevented.
How successful is treatment?
Success of treatment is
based on a variety of factors such as a hair growth cycles, and
maintaining your appointment schedule. Since it is so individual, this
will be discussed further during your consultation.
How is treatment performed?
Prior to your treatment, a
topical anesthetic is applied. This will reduce the discomfort associated
with the process. Prior to treatment, the area should be clean shaved.
Treatment time varies from a few minutes for small areas such as the
bikini line to a few hours for areas such as legs and back. After
treatment, cool compresses are used along with time to relax before you
leave.
What Will I look Like After
Treatment?
Since treatment involves
absorption of laser energy, the skin can appear pink in color immediately
after treatment. This can last for a couple of hours. In the couple of
days following treatment, it is possible to develop a mild irritation that
will resolve in a few days. Discomfort similar to sunburn is also a
possibility. Finally, in certain instances, temporary pigment changes may
be noted.
What do I do before
treatment?
During your initial
consultation you will be asked to provide a complete medical and hormonal
history. For darker complexion patients, a bleaching cream may be
prescribed for three weeks prior to treatment.
What are the risks involved
with laser hair removal?
There is little to no chance
of scarring associated with the procedure as long as you follow the
treatment guidelines given to you at your consultation. In certain cases,
temporary increased or decreased pigmentation will be noted within the
laser sites.
What are the costs involved?
During your consultation,
the areas to be treated will be assessed and a fee quoted. Our goal is to
provide affordable services through competitive pricing.
