Laser Hair Removal |
|
"I strive to deliver natural-looking results by personally administering the most advanced dermatologic care that is tailored to your individual needs." - Elizabeth L. Tanzi, M.D.
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% affective, 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.

I've had multiple sessions for age spot removal with Dr. Tanzi and couldn't be more pleased with not only the results of the laser but the professionalism of Dr. Tanzi. I started with the my back before a wedding when I was wearing a backless bridesmaid dress. As Dr. Tanzi said, it does simply feel like a rubber band snapping your skin. The discomfort is very short, and within a week the spots turned dark and fell off just as she'd promised. I was very pleased with the results. I next had treatment on my face for age spots around my eyes which again worked very well. The day after treatment I could easily use cover-up to conceal the darker spots until they fell off. Dr. Tanzi is very honest when discussing with you about what procedures will work based on your particular situation (skin tone, skin condition, issue, etc.), how much pain/discomfort is involved, and what the recovery time should be. Her staff is as sweet as can be, and they all do their best to ensure you are comfortable during the procedures. I also feel like they have the most advanced techniques and equipment - every time I read or hear about a new technique or device Dr. Tanzi has already tested it and has an opinion or the actual equipment in the office. I've recommended my friends to Dr. Tanzi and they all reiterate my above comments.

I've had multiple areas treated for laser hair removal with Dr. Tanzi and couldn't be more pleased with not only the results of the laser but the professionalism of Dr. Tanzi. I started with the bikini line, as shaving caused red bumps and waxing really irritated my skin. I had probably three session and that was it - the hair was gone and has yet to return. I then moved on to my underarms (warning: after years of shaving, waxing and plucking, I have to admit laser hair removal becomes addictive!), and I'm now in the process of having my lower legs done. Dr. Tanzi is very honest when discussing with you about what procedures will work based on your particular situation (skin tone, skin condition, issue, etc.), how much pain/discomfort is involved, and what the recovery time should be.

Absolute love her! She is an incredible phyisician with a real drive in providing her patients with the optimal care. I had a dermal filler in my lips. Initially I was very nervous about having the procedure done. However, she had made procedure entirely comfortable. I was very happy with the results and have been seeing her for about 7 years now. I can't imagine going to see anyone else.

I first decided to see Dr. Tanzi prior to my wedding for some Botox and fillers. I must admit I was a little nervous, but she soon made me feel very comfortable and ready for my first treatment. It has now been 1 year since my wedding and I am a devoted repeat patient. She is great!

I have been a patient of Dr Tanzi's for years. She has really helped me get my rosacea under control. People used to always ask me if i "had a sunburn" and after multiple treats my skin has really improved. I do continue to see her for occasional treatments to keep everything in check. She is very friendly and attentive and her staff is great!
