Laser Hair Reduction

Remove unwanted hair anywhere on the body

Laser hair removal can remove or reduce unwanted hair on any area of the body, including upper lip, face, legs, arms, underarms, back, and the bikini line. Most patients see significant hair reduction after completing the necessary number of laser hair removal treatment sessions.

Lasers used for laser hair removal target hair on the skin while leaving the rest of the skin undamaged. This short burst of light from the laser destroys the hair from inside the hair follicle to prevent it from growing back.

The equipment used for the treatment session will be set to work with the patient's skin color as well as the color and thickness of the hair and the area of the body being treated. Discomfort is typically minimal. It is important to wear sunscreen and avoid tanning the treatment area during the course of laser hair removal treatments.

Treatment sessions continue, typically four to six weeks apart, until the hair stops growing. Dr. Haven specializes in laser treatments at her Connecticut based practice and can choose the best laser settings for treating any area of hair on the body.
