The way the laser works is that the energy produced by the laser is taken up by the pigment/color in the hair shaft. This burns the hair follicles from the inside, stopping hair growth. The darker the hair, the more effective it is. The more contrast between the hair and the surrounding skin, then there is a lessened chance of pigment changes afterward. The laser procedure treats multiple hairs at one time making it ideal for most parts of the body.
Laser hair removal is a safe, comfortable and effective way to remove unwanted body or facial hair. Patients also love that laser hair removal eliminates razor burn.
Depending on the area being targeted laser hair treatment sessions can last from a few minutes to over an hour in our Westerville / Columbus, Ohio practice.
An ASPS member surgeon has fulfilled the following requirements:
Many physicians who perform cosmetic procedures will claim board certification, but it is important to clarify which board. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is a part of the American Board of Medical Specialties and has been in existence since 1937. Certification by this board signifies that the surgeon has completed an approved plastic surgery residency, has passed a comprehensive written examination, and has passed an oral examination. Following this, he or she is then required to maintain certification through case submissions, continuing medical education and written examinations. This rigorous process ensures that those who identify themselves as a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery are held to the highest standards of patient safety, patient satisfaction and ethical behavior.
