Oh, that unwanted hair!

Upper lip, cheeks, chest, back, underarms, bikini line, legs—they take so much maintenance and fuss to remain smooth and hair-free! Plus, some people's sensitive skin reacts to the irritation of shaving with razor bumps and even minor infections, not to mention redness, soreness, and more.

Comfortable, quick, and creating no down-time, this FDA-approved service is most effective for people with dark, stubborn, coarse hair. Sound too good to be true? Here's how it works...

The hair removal process

First, you will contact us to arrange a cosmetic consultation. Then Dr. Surak or one of his professional colleagues will visually examine your skin, and in particular, the areas which you wish to have treated. Also, they will review your health history and any current medications. If laser hair removal is right for you, you will be scheduled for several treatments, typically two to six staggered over a few months to accommodate the hair growth cycles.

During treatment, you will wear protective eyewear and receive a numbing cream on your skin. The laser itself applies short bursts of focused light which effectively inactivate the hair follicles. Patients describe a mild stinging sensation during the treatments—nothing serious or requiring a numbing agent. After the procedure, you may immediately return to your normal activities, although you may notice some mild redness and tenderness.

You will return to the office for additional treatments, but when you finally finish, you'll be hair-free for years. If some hair does grow back, it will be much finer and lighter in color.
