Knowledgeable,wonderful Doctor. Dr. Richards listen closely to my concerns. I have had fillers, skin tags removal and IPL. I suffer from acne; Dr.Richards has helped me with my acne scarring and I am so happy with her services. The fillers are great; I no longer look tired and exhausted it only took minutes to complete.I highly recommend her. Great bedside manners.

Laser Hair Removal |
|
Lasers have been used for the removal of unwanted hair by physicians since 1998. Since that time the technology used has dramatically improved and patients, including those with dark skin, are seeing very good and lasting results. Generally laser hair removal is 80% to 90% effective, meaning 90% of hair in the area will likely remain gone. Follow up maintenance treatments may be needed at 6 months to a year following the initial series of treatment to maintain hair removal.
It’s important if you are considering laser hair removal to protect your skin from the sun. Lasers work by targeting the melanin pigment in your hair follicle and if your skin is more tan than normal, this can have an effect on the laser’s ability to properly target the hair. As the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, this will trigger the hair’s natural resting, or telogen, phase.
Contact one of our physicians today to learn more about this exciting treatment.
