Laser Hair Removal

Hereā€™s how it works

Laser hair removal is a hair removal procedure that can be used effectively on most any part of the body. It uses highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles, which will inhibit future hair growth.

The process works only on actively growing hair follicles, so it could take several treatments to produce a significant amount of hair reduction. Because laser hair removal only slows and inhibits hair growth, there is no assurance that it will be permanent. You may require periodic maintenance.

Cost
Costs can vary based on individual patient needs and the amount of injections required.

 

The costs involved in this procedure include facility fees, medical tests, cost of the PMMA filer, Dr. Jimersonā€™s fee and any medication or any additional treatment that may be required. Our staff will provide you with a detailed cost estimate for your procedure.

Risks involved in laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is relatively safe. As with any injection or procedure, risks and side effects can occur. They include:

  • Mild swelling around hair follicles ā€¢ Changes in pigment, but these are usually temporary ā€¢ Slight redness of the skin ā€¢ Temporary skin irritation, including blistering, crusting or scarring

If you have darker skin, special care will be taken; a less intensive laser will be employed. And if youā€™ve tanned, gone to a tanning both or even used a spray tan, it is recommended that you avoid laser hair removal treatments so there wonā€™t be damage to your skin.

Be sure to follow Dr. Jimersonā€™s instruction following your injections to obtain optimal results.

The procedure
Laser hair removal is done as an office procedure. Dr. Jimerson will use a highly concentrated light beam to target the hair follicles to be treated. You will experience some mild discomfort, which is only temporary.

 

Because your hair grows in cycles, you will probably need three to four laser hair removal treatments to achieve significant hair reduction.

Meeting with Dr. Jimerson
Prior to the laser procedure you will have a consultation with Dr. Jimerson. This is an important appointment, as it will give you an opportunity to ask questions about the procedure youā€™re interested in and what you can expect from the surgery.

He will discuss you specific goals, take a medical history and review your current medications. Photos are usually taken, both before and after the surgery.

You will also be able to learn what options are available to you, along with the risks and possible complications of the procedure.
