Laser Hair Removal

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal offers a convenient solution for individuals, both men and women, seeking an alternative to the time-consuming and costly methods of shaving, waxing, or tweezing unwanted hair.

This non-invasive procedure utilizes concentrated light energy transformed into heat to eliminate hair follicles, resulting in a permanent reduction in hair growth.

The quality of the laser affects outcome

There are many different laser hair removal lasers on the market. Nigro Dermatology Aesthetic Center uses the industry leading laser hair removal system called the Candela® Gentle Max Pro Plus.

This device is able to treat larger areas with less pain and better results. A cooling device helps cool the skin during the treatment to make the procedure more comfortable to the patient. It permanent hair reduction for patients of all skin types, including those with thinner/finer hair.

Why choose laser hair removal?

Choosing laser hair removal over other methods provides numerous advantages, beyond the convenience of eliminating the need for regular shaving or waxing.

These include:

  • Speed: Laser pulses can treat multiple hairs simultaneously, with small areas like the chin requiring mere seconds, and larger areas like the legs taking up to an hour.
  • Reliable Success: Most individuals experience significant hair loss within 3-7 sessions, and permanent hair loss can be maintained through annual maintenance sessions.
  • Precise Treatment: Laser targets only the hair, leaving the surrounding skin untouched.

Tell me about the treatment?

Our medical aesthetician evaluates your skin based on the Fitzpatrick scale ensuring the appropriate settings for your hair and skin type The treatment involves applying a pulse of light to the target area with a small hand piece, during the treatment a built in device is cooling the skin to help with any discomfort. The sensation during treatment is often described as rubber band slapping or pinpricks, and post-treatment discomfort can be alleviated with ice packs and anti-inflammatories.

We recommend scheduling sessions every 4-6 weeks until the desired hair removal is achieved. Subsequently, annual maintenance appointments are advised.

I was scared to death after discovering a small spot under my arm. I visited with Laura and she calmed my nerves by telling me it was blood vessels and nothing to worry about. The whole experience from checking in to leaving was wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend Nigro and especially Laura. I

Saturday I had an inflamed skin problem in an uncomfortable area, I was in a lot of pain, Heather Jordan was the absolute best! I visited Saturday to get checked out and the process was very smooth, comfortable and easy. Everyone who works there is kind, helpful and caring. Seeing me on short notice was huge help since no one else in town was open Saturday or available at least, Heather took me in and explained everything in detail and relieved me, I felt that I am in safe hands with someone experienced. I went back in today for another check up, and same thing, Heather and everyone else took great care of me, I definitely recommend to anyone, forget about ER or anyone else. This is the place to go, you won’t regret it.
