  Excess Hair

Laser Hair Removal - A beam of light is directed down the hair shaft to the follicle damaging its ability to produce hair. We have 3 different hair removal lasers that are used for different skin types and hair colors. We can even treat dark skin types with our cutting edge laser technology from Altus! A physician will evaluate each patient and decide which laser system is best suited for each individual. This ensures the ultimate in safety and efficacy. We will discuss with you the benefits of combining laser hair removal with waxing and a topical medication called Vaniqa. How many treatments are required depends on the thickness of the hair and the area of the body to be treated.

VANIQA - is a new prescription cream that is applied 2 times a day to areas with unwanted hair. It is not a hair removal product but slows regrowth of hair. Therefore, one must continue using the hair removal method of choice (laser, waxing, shaving etc.) but hair will regrow slower. In clinical trials almost 60% of woman had improvement of unwanted facial hair when compared to placebo.
