Laser Hair Removal
One of the most time consuming parts of hygiene is hair removal. Over time, we spend thousands of hours plucking, waxing, shaving, and using hair removal creams. It can become a chore, one that often results in cuts and red bumps due to irrtation. Keeping a sharp razor is also expensive with the cost of razor blades having increased so much in the last few years. If you are tired of dealing with constant hair removal, it might be time to try laser hair removal. World's Famous Dermatologist offers laser hair removal Stockbridge & Lawrenceville, Georgia.

What To Expect
Laser hair removal is non-invasive and does not require down time after the procedure. You can expect to have a little discomfort during the process and the skin may feel like it is sunburned afterwards. It may take a few sessions depending on the size of the area as well as the amount of hair. The good news is that it is much more permanent than any other means of removal. Although there is no hair removal that is completely permanent, laser hair removal is the most effective and long lasting.
Using light energy converted to heat, the laser will collapse the hair follicle. This destruction will prevent or slow future hair growth. Laser hair removal works in the following areas:
- Back
- Bikini area
- Legs
- Neck, chest and shoulders
- Facial areas excluding eyelids and area around the eyes
- Arms
After the procedure is complete, it may take a few weeks for the hair to completely disappear. This is because the hairs are gradually falling out. The length of time the hair will be gone varies from person to person.
