Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that involves the use of a focused light beam (laser) to eliminate undesired hair. This treatment permanently destroys hair follicles and effectively delays hair growth for long periods.
We offer laser hair removal with the Syneron Candela elōs Plus diode laser. One of the most advanced solutions for laser hair removal, the elōs Plus diode uses two energy sources which makes it safer and more effective compared to traditional alternatives.
Our experienced medical providers can target almost any area of the body with unwanted hair, including the legs, underarms, bikini area, back, chin, face, arms, hands and feet. Most patients will see optimal results after 6-8 sessions. Hair will appear finer and less noticeable after each treatment. This may vary from person to person depending on the skin and hair type.
Note: Laser Hair Removal is available in our Park Road office.
What to expect
Prior to your visit, be sure to shave the area targeted for hair removal. Although the diode is designed to be comfortable for patients during the treatment, we do offer a topical numbing cream that can be used for additional comfort.
For optimal results, multiple treatments are recommended. Your treatment plan will be adjusted according to hair type and coarseness, but most patients are able to achieve their desired outcome after 6-8 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Some redness and swelling around the hair follicles is normal, but these effects typically go away after 2-3 days. This treatment works best for lighter skin tones and patients without tanned skin. Contact us today, at Metrolina Dermatology in Charlotte, N.C., to schedule a consultation to see if this treatment is right for you.
