For our first addition, we brought in a laser to treat our patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), who often experience increased hair growth on various parts of the body. In addition, laser hair treatment reduces flare ups for patients with hidradenitis suppuritiva – these patients experience frequent infections of the groin and underarm area. But we found that many patients simply like the convenience of not having to shave, pluck, wax or sugar any longer!
Unlike IPL (intense pulse light) therapy, laser hair removal is more targeted, works faster in less treatments, and is effective on more skin types – from light to dark pigmentation. The device that we use combines 2 powerful lasers: Alexandrite for light skin tones and Nd-YAG for dark skin tones. Our patients see significant reduction after their first treatment, and often complete their treatments in 4-6 sessions.
You will meet with our laser technician who will take a detailed history, examine the area you are interested in treating, and help you decide what the best individualized treatment plan is for your needs.
We utilize a cooling machine to cool the skin during treatments, so our patients experience little discomfort or side effects afterwards. We recommend using a 50 SPF sunblock and avoiding sun exposure after treatments, as treated skin is more sensitive to the effects of the sun.
Lasers can also be used for more than hair removal. They are effective in treating pigmented lesions (like age spots), acne scars, and thread veins to name a few. We know that there are many options for laser hair removal in Waco. As our focus is improved quality of life, we do not require lengthy contracts or high-priced packages.
