Laser hair removal works by targeting melanin in hair follicles with concentrated light energy, damaging them and stopping future hair growth. It’s an ideal solution for people with darker skin tones but requires patience and multiple treatments over time.
From luxury options to budget selections, at-home laser devices can quickly and effectively remove unwanted hair.
1. The Dermatology and Laser Group
If you’re tired of shaving, waxing, and plucking away unwanted hairs then laser hair removal could be the perfect solution for you. This innovative cosmetic procedure uses cutting-edge technology to target and damage hair follicles, thus inhibiting future hair growth. Ideal for both men and women alike, laser hair removal requires several sessions for best results on any body area; most experience minimal pain during the process while some might experience slight discomfort but this usually far less than other high-maintenance methods like tweezing or shaving!
To ensure the greatest comfort during our procedures, we provide topical anesthetics to alleviate any discomfort during and post treatment as well as ice packs to minimize swelling and inflammation after. While discomfort levels vary between individuals, most find their experience tolerable for long-lasting results.
The team at The Dermatology and Laser Group includes board-certified dermatologists and experienced medical technicians using cutting-edge equipment for effective skin care services and non-invasive cosmetic procedures. Expertise includes Emsculpt treatment for cellulite reduction; laser hair removal; reducing redness and scarring with VI Peel; as well as providing Canfield Mirror Mapping technology for mole mapping purposes.
When selecting a dermatology practice to perform laser hair removal, it’s essential that they possess extensive experience treating all skin tones and colors. Darker skin tones may be more vulnerable to burns or hyperpigmentation following laser treatment; accordingly it is imperative that use of the appropriate device and settings is utilized – The Dermatology and Laser Group uses Lumenis LightSheer QUATTRO laser which has multiple handpieces tailored for different skin tones.
At your consultation, we’ll determine how many laser hair removal sessions will be necessary to achieve your desired result. We will also review your medical history to make sure it is appropriate. During treatment, protective goggles will be worn while sitting comfortably while we apply the laser device directly onto your body; before and after photos will also be taken to document progress.

The Alexandrite method of laser hair removal utilizes short wavelengths of light to destroy hair follicles and stop future growth, and is most suited to individuals with lighter hair and skin tones. While permanent results may take several sessions to achieve, this treatment method is far more effective than shaving or other methods when it comes to permanent results. Diode laser treatments use longer wavelengths that penetrate more deeply into skin layers than Alexandrite does, making them effective against dark hair on darker skin tones as well as being one of the most versatile laser options out there for hair removal options available today.
3. The Skin Center
Laser hair removal is a safe and permanent way to reduce unwanted facial and body hair growth. At The Skin Center, we offer various cosmetic dermatology treatments that can enhance its results or act independently; such as skin tightening, acne treatment, microneedling miraDry(r) and intense pulsed light (IPL).
Laser hair removal offers an incredible return on investment. All the time and energy spent shaving, waxing, threading, plucking and using chemical creams to manage hair growth can now be put toward more fulfilling activities – with savings from eliminating these products becoming even greater over time.
Most patients require four to seven laser hair removal sessions before reaching their desired results. This is due to how laser hair removal targets pigmented follicles responsible for producing unwanted hair, which only actively produce it during anagen phase of growth; during other parts of the year these follicles enter either catagen or telogen phases where they become less responsive to treatment.
At each laser hair removal session, a specialist will apply a numbing gel before using Cutera’s Excel HR(tm) system for targeting hair follicles with its cutting-edge Excel HR(tm). It features sapphire contact cooling technology, multiple temperature settings and can target all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Once laser hair removal treatment is completed, some patients may experience temporary redness and swelling in the treated areas; these symptoms usually fade within hours. People with darker-pigmented hair or skin should take extra caution in the days leading up to their procedure by refraining from tanning as contrast between dark pigmented hair and lighter colored skin may cause burns during laser procedures.
