Each doctor listed on the Hair Removal Journal is a board-certified physician licensed
by their home state. Each office is physician-supervised and performs laser hair
removal under the guidance of their physician.
This is an important distinction, as many clinics now offer "low-cost" laser hair
removal with little or no physician supervision whatsoever. It is important for
patients to understand that lasers are highly delicate machines, and can be dangerous
if used improperly. Unless a physician is supervising and is regularly on-site,
it is not advisable to have any treatment performed there.
Although poor results can occur even with the best treatment, inexperienced practitioners performing laser hair removal in a non-physician supervised setting is not recommended. The last several years have seen a boom in the popularity of laser procedures, with laser hair removal the most popular among them.
This has led to a rise in the number of clinics offering the procedure. The inexperience
of often unqualified personnel who are ill-trained to handle a highly delicate and
potentially dangerous piece of equipment demands a source where patients can find
qualified providers.
The Hair Removal Journal was created to give patients physician-reviewed information,
and is provided by some of the best laser physicians in the country. There are hundreds
of resources on the web today that provide information about laser hair removal.
Few, however, are reviewed by physicians and edited for accuracy. Many web resources
are simply a place to list advertisements. The Hair Removal Journal is constantly
updated to provide accurate and up-to-date data about this popular, and often misunderstood,
procedure.
