What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. The light emitted by the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hair and inhibits or delays future growth.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ's
After a consultation, Dr. Siegel will offer specific instructions on how to prepare for your first laser hair removal session. General instructions for preparation include:
- Staying out of the sun
- Avoiding any sunless tanning creams that darken the skin
- Avoiding blood-thinning medications
- Avoiding other hair removal methods, such as waxing, plucking, and electrolysis
- Shaving the area to be treated the day before laser treatment
In most cases, a series of two to six treatments is required to achieve optimal results. The interval between treatments will depend on the treatment area. For example, treatments on the upper lip may be scheduled four to eight weeks apart, while treatments on the back may be 12 to 16 weeks apart.
