The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

The Laser Hair Removal Process
During your laser hair removal treatment at Smith, Arthur F, MD, Dr. David Sax will begin by assessing your specific hair and skin type. This evaluation helps us determine the most suitable laser settings to ensure optimal results and minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Once the treatment parameters are set, a handheld laser device will be used to deliver controlled pulses of laser energy. The laser selectively targets the hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
The procedure is relatively quick, depending on the size of the treatment area, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Any mild discomfort can be managed with topical anesthetics or cooling methods.
Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results, as hair grows in different cycles. Dr. David Sax will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.
