What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a highly effective treatment used to remove unwanted hair using a precise laser beam. It works to damage the hair follicle and prevent future hair growth. The laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicle, which is then converted to heat and is what ultimately disables the growth of hair from the follicle.
At Erwin Dermatology, we use the Cynosure Elite IQ laser system. It works by using Skintel technology to detect melanin in the skin and hair shaft, and then adjusts the settings for your skin and hair color and skin type. And beyond permanent hair reduction, it’s also effective at reducing the appearance of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and veins. Each session takes about 30 minutes, but it can depend on the size of the treatment area.
Laser hair removal can be used on the legs, arms, back, chest, bikini line, armpits, face, and more.
