Laser Hair Reduction

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Have you tried to shave or wax hair away, and irritated your skin? Imagine removing unwanted hair without razor or wax burns! Try what works: laser hair reduction. Drs. LaFerriere and Kienstra offer this treatment (also known as broad band light hair reduction) to patients with large and small problem areas.

How it works:

By sending a filtered and highly concentrated beam of light to the root of the hair follicle, we are able to target the melanin of the follicle; thus reducing the growth of the hair. Most people feel only a slight tingling sensation during treatment, much of which can be completely rid of by using a topical numbing cream.

There is little to no skin irritation from this procedure. The procedure can take as little as five minutes for a small area or up to an hour for large areas. Remember, hair grows in cycles, so you may need several sessions to achieve the desired effect. If you want to reduce up to 90% of unwanted hair, call us at 417-887-3223 and get started.

  1. BOTOX®Reduces facial lines and wrinkles, and is a safe and effective way to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles with minimal side effects.
  2. Hyalauronic acidsRestylane, Perlane and Juvederm are non-animal based hyaluronic dermal fillers which provide patients with restored skin volume and fullness while correcting moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
  3. Chemical PeelsRestores a more youthful appearance to wrinkled, unevenly pigmented, sun-damaged, and blotchy skin.
  4. Laser Hair RemovalThe laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to travel down the hair shaft to the end of the hair follicle. This process will eliminate or greatly impede hair growth.
  5. MicrodermabrasionBy exfoliating dead skin cells, microdermabrasion creates smoother, healthier skin in about 30 minutes.
