IPL Hair Removal

Plenty of people struggle with hair in unwanted areas. You might feel self-conscious about your overall appearance. While shaving and waxing can help remove stubborn hair, these methods only offer temporary results and often cause rashes, bumps and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal treatments can non-surgically eliminate hair and leave your skin smooth and silky.

Palomar Icon®

It also has a built-in cooling system to promote patient comfort.

Concerns

Recovery

Because laser hair removal is performed on an outpatient basis, you will be able to return home immediately after your treatment. Make sure you protect your treated skin from direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen daily. It is also important that you follow all instructions given to you by Dr. Hiatt.
Scars

Laser treatments are safe, non-surgical methods of hair removal that will not result in any visible scarring.
Pain

You may experience moderate skin irritation and redness, but this should resolve after a few days.
Cost

The cost of your hair removal treatment will depend on factors such as the size of the area being treated and the number of treatments needed. Dr. Hiatt will provide you with a cost estimate during your scheduled consultation.

Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Hiatt’s laser technician Lindalee will explain your treatment options in the area of unwanted hair to determine the best approach for your treatment. Laser hair removal treatments can be used on one or more of the following areas:

Arms
Back
Bikini line
Chest
Face
Thighs
Legs
Underarms

Process

During your treatment, either the Palomar Icon® or Soprano Lite (or both) will be used to target the areas you would like to be treated. Both methods target the hair follicle at the root and leave the surrounding skin and tissue unharmed. Laser hair removal has traditionally worked better in the past on patients with dark hair and light skin, but the state-of-the-art technology used at Turning Pointe Plastic Surgery allows for the removal of hair of all skin complexions.
