Laser Hair Removal Treatments

For those who shave the bikini area, pubic area, or groin (pick your favorite term) there are often the annoyances of ingrown hairs, rough stubble, and razor burn. This area of the body is also difficult to wax – imagine all those nooks and crannies! Laser hair removal is a great alternative.

There are a few variations to this treatment. Some people prefer just a little removed (traditional bikini line), others a lot (full brazilian or G-string) – that is totally up to you. I have performed all variations and am comfortable with whatever your preference may be.Your privacy is important so you can be assured that as a female physician I will protect your privacy. The body area will be draped, exposing only the minimum area needed for an effective treatment. If you come to your appointment on time and the treatment goes as planned you will most likely NOT see anyone other than me.

Remember, the best candidate for effective laser hair removal is light skin with dark hair. Blond and gray hair are not good targets for the laser energy. Sun tanned skin is prone to discoloration (hypo and hyper pigmentation) so avoid the sun and wear sun screen prior to treatment.The area must be shaved prior to treatment and free of any makeup, lotions, or moisturizers. Please use an antibacterial soap to thoroughly clean the area prior to your treatment.
