DERMATOLOGY SERVICES: Laser Hair Removal

Treatments are spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. Legs and back typically are done every eight to twelve weeks.
Intense pulsed light is a non laser form of light that is the most commonly used method of hair removal. Pulsed-light systems work by emitting pulses of intense lamp light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.
