Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery: Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a safe alternative to remove unwanted facial or body hair while eliminating razor burn and the "shadow" effect caused by unwanted hair.

How does laser hair removal work?

Infrared light targets the pigment in the hair follicles and converts it into heat, which causes follicular destruction. Hair grows in three cycles. Follicular destruction takes place during the anagen phase, where it causes the most impact.

We use the LightSheerÂ® laser hair removal system, considered the "gold standard" of the trade. The computer-guided system gently disables hundreds of hair follicles in less than one second.

From what areas of the body can hair be removed?

Laser hair removal can be performed on all parts of the body including the cheeks, lip, legs, arms, underarms, and back, as well as sensitive areas like the bikini line, ears, nose, chest, and nipples.

How many laser hair removal treatments are necessary?

Laser hair removal systems can only treat active hair follicles. For optimal results, we recommend 10 treatments varying between six and ten weeks apart.

What if the hair re-grows in the treated area?

Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery offers a lifetime guarantee to laser hair removal patients who complete the full 10-treatment package. In the event that hair re-grows after a package is complete, we will re-treat the new growth for $1 per pulse. Number of required pulses varies depending on the size of the treatment area.
