    What can I expect at my consultation?

    During your consultation it is important to ask about the specific area of the body you want to have laser hair removal on. Be sure to ask how many maintenance treatments will be required for that specific part of the body. Some laser hair removal centers will claim that the hair is gone forever and you never need maintenance treatments. If I heard that from somebody I would make a hasty retreat towards the door. That’s simply not true with today’s laser hair removal.

    Some Maintenance Required

    Maintenance treatments are required to keep all hair away in any given area. If you have 1 or 2 treatments there will be less hair and it will be thinner in diameter for a very long period of time, but it will not be gone forever. You always need maintenance treatments periodically. Don’t be afraid to ask your provider questions about the treatment or their experience.

    No Accutane

    In my opinion, its important that a patient not be on or have taken Accutane within six months of having laser hair removal.
