Laser Hair Removal

How does it work? Dr. Patel's amazing Fotona Laser removes unwanted hair by applying laser beam heat to the hair blub and hair matrix, thus destroying the hair follicle that allows growth. 

How to prepare for laser hair removal:

• Find a reputable doctor or technician to perform your treatment.
• Avoid tanning and using sunless tanners
• Refrain from plucking and waxing 
• Shave the area being treated prior to appointment time
• Clean the treatment area of any lotions, cosmetics, and creams 
• Avoid blood thinners before appointment if possible

Pain tolerance is different for every patient. While the procedure isn't completely painless, it is very tolerable.
