The Appeal of Laser Hair Removal

Traditional methods of removing unwanted hair include shaving, waxing, tweezing or using messy, depilatory creams. These can be uncomfortable, time consuming and expensive, and achieve only short-lived results. Laser hair removal significantly reduces unwanted hair through a series of comfortable treatments with long-lasting results.

Because Dr. Narasimhan uses the StarLux® laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) platform, he is able to customize hair removal treatments and achieve improved outcomes. Advantages of this technology include:

  • Safe for all skin colors and types
  • Effective on hair of varying thicknesses and colors
  • Improved comfort, speed, and versatility
  • Long term, lasting results

How It Works

Prior to your treatment, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to improve comfort. The handpiece is guided over the treatment area delivering either laser or IPL energy, depending on your hair and skin type. The skin is simultaneously cooled for optimal comfort. The laser or light energy travels down the hair shaft and disables the hair follicle. Only hairs that are in the active growth phase are affected, which is why a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is necessary.

Your Recovery

Most of our patients are ready to resume normal activities immediately, and aftercare is fairly straightforward. Dr. Narasimhan will advise you to avoid tanning and using certain skincare products following laser hair removal, and may recommend that a soothing lotion be applied to the area. Typically, follow-up treatments will be scheduled about 4 weeks apart.
