Laser hair reduction is a great option for those with dark hair, as this procedure works best by picking up the darker pigments within the hair itself. Treating blonde, white, grey or red hair is still a challenge with the currently available laser technology today. During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicles. The heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth.

Dr. Michaels uses topical anesthetic cream in the most sensitive areas to minimize the pinprick feeling of the laser.

It typically takes several laser hair removal treatments to provide an extended hair-free period. Periodic maintenance treatments may be needed as well.
