We perform a lot of laser hair removal with a high degree of patient satisfaction. Laser hair removal is fast; full legs or a back can be treated in about 20 minutes. We have multiple lasers so people of all skin types can receive safe and effective treatments.

When people have completed a series of laser hair removal they may not always be completely free of hair, as white or grey hair will not respond to laser hair removal. Often, our patients will try electrolysis to remove remaining hair without pigment. Electrolysis addresses each single hair one by one so it is not ideal for large areas but lasers and  electrolysis can be used togther to provide the best possible result.
