PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION

Integrated Skin Solutions is very fortunate to have multiple modalities available to reduce unwanted hair. We have both a Sciton Profile 1064 laser, for use on all types of skin, and the Sciton BBL broadband light, which works better on lighter types of skin. Sometimes the best approach to treatment may involve using both types of machines. The new technology is capable of giving over 80-90% or better permanent reduction for ALL skin types, male and female, for ALL parts of the body, except around the eyes. The number of sessions needed to achieve these results can vary from person to person depending on many factors such as age, skin type, amount of hair, hair color, hair texture, and hormonal balance.

Most people will need 3 to 6 treatments. In some areas, such as the legs, faster results can be achieved. Within three treatments, at least 50 percent of your hair may be gone forever. Within six treatments 90 percent, or higher, results can be achieved. You can expect similar results for the bikini area, under the arms, on the arms, and the facial and chest areas. The back area of men is usually more challenging and may take a few extra treatments. However, results may vary from person to person, which means that you can get faster results then someone else. Laser hair removal will not work on white, grey, light red or light blond hair follicles. People who are experiencing PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) may experience poor results unless they receive medical support along with the laser treatment.

This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime.  In most cases you will be able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities right away!

You may experience some redness that  should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. Your treated skin will feel smoother, fine wrinkles and pores may be less noticeable, and sun spots or uneven pigmentation can fade.

Results depend on your condition, the number of treatments, and the area treated.  Dr. Carter and Dr. Mazurek will provide you with complete information about the post treatment care and results.
