The licensed laser technicians at Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery in Atlanta, GA perform laser hair reduction procedures using a new generation laser system called LightSheer. Procedures are customized to help patients meet their aesthetic goals as quickly, safely, and easily as possible. Patients who undergo the procedure do not have to worry about their hair growing back for up to two years.
A laser hair reduction Procedure at Premier Image
laser hair reduction Atlanta is performed as an in-office procedure. The procedure is needle-free and does not require any anesthesia. A licensed laser technician places the LightSheer handpiece over areas where the patient wishes to remove unwanted hairs. Light is absorbed by dark pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface and converted to heat. This destroys hair follicles.
Very little discomfort is felt during the procedure. The sensation is nothing more than that of a very slight snap of a rubber band. Procedure time depends on the size of the area being treated. Most procedures are very quick. Multiple procedures are needed for complete hair removal. Maintenance and touch up procedures may be used as needed.
