Answers to Your Questions: FAQ's on Laser Hair Removal

What are the most popular areas for laser hair removal?  The most popular treatment areas for females include upper lip, general face and bikini line.  The majority of men receive treatment for back and shoulder hair.  Although these tend to be the most popular, a great number of people also receive treatment on their arms, hands, legs, stomach, neck and more.  If you are interested in a specific area, speak to our laser hair specialist to determine if it is an option for you.

Who performs the procedure?  The procedure is performed in a medical office by a qualified nurse, under the supervision of Vito C. Quatela, MD, FACS.

How many treatments will I need? The number of treatments required depends upon your skin color and coarseness of the hair. Everyone will require at least 4-6 treatments as the process is only effective on hair during the early growing cycle. Repeat sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the early growth phase.

What precautions should be taken before and after the treatment?

• Avoid the sun 4-6 weeks before and after treatment or until your practitioner allows it.  This is why the fall and winter are the best times of year to receive your treatment series.
• You must avoid electrolysis, plucking or waxing hair for 6 weeks prior to treatment.
• If you have had a history of perioral herpes (cold sores), prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed.
• If you have a dark skin type, a skin lightener may be started 4-6 weeks before treatment to optimize results.

Answers to Your Questions: FAQ's on Photorejuvenation

What does it treat?  From rosacea, fine lines, age spots and broken capillaries to enlarged pores, coarse skin and hyperpigmentation, IPL Photorejuvenation eliminates the signs of aging while restoring a youthful smoothness with high satisfaction. 

What are my treatment options?  The IPL Photorejuvenation program generally consists of four to six treatment sessions at three-week intervals. Similar to many medical spa services, a typical session lasts about 1 hour so you can actually schedule an appointment during your lunch hour.

Why is it for me?  Another reason why IPL Photorejuvenation is so successful is that it is a true "multi-tasker." It improves redness and broken blood vessels, erases age spots and areas of skin discoloration, as well as reaching down to the level of collagen to enhance your skin tone and texture. More effective than creams and medications, IPL Photorejuvenation also offers relief from the symptoms of rosacea, including flushing. Furthermore, results are excellent on other sensitive body areas, like the back of your hands, chest and neck. This versatility sets IPL Photorejuvenation apart from any other treatment approach.
