Does laser hair removal work on nipple hairs?
Laser hair removal
Oct 12, 2021
The short answer is yes it will. As long as a hair shaft and follicle is pigmented light energy will heat the pigment and if this is done properly the therapy should result in the destruction of the hair papilla (the “seed” component of the hair shaft). This should result in the hair follicle and shaft destruction. Light energy will not work on non-pigmented hair (grey hair). Several other factors are involved in determining the frequency of the light energy so as to avoid damage to…
Did something change about the time between Brazilian hair removal treatments?
Laser hair removal with light energy (IPL and lasers)
May 11, 2021
The reasoning for waiting between sessions is to allow the hair follicle/papilla complexes that are not in Anagen phase to progress to this growth period so that the laser energy can destroy the papilla. Current thinking is that visible hair shafts can be in any 1 of 4 phases. Only the follicle/papilla of the Anagen phase is susceptible to light energy destruction. The other three phases will result in hair shaft destruction but the papilla will regenerate a new hair follicle and shaft….
How can I get rid of this facial hair (PCOS)?
Facial hair removal
May 4, 2021
Utilization of light energy (IPL or laser) would be least expensive with the best results in my opinion. Electrolysis is slightly more expensive in our region. Topicals, shaving, threading and waxing are temporary measures. The vast majority of individuals are tolerant of light energy procedures in the facial region. Be sure to describe your medical history and medications you currently take to the provider offering the treatment. Discuss the pros and cons and even get a free sample pulse to…
Laser hair removal – destroyed vs damaged follicle?
Laser hair removal
Apr 19, 2021
Great question!The answer stems from how the light energy from lasers and IPL machines affect the hair follicles. Light energy will heat the pigmented portions of the skin and hair components. The energy that builds up in the pigments can achieve a temperature that can damage or destroy the surrounding tissue. If this happens in the skin it results in a burn. If the damage is in the hair shaft (not the follicle) then it can result in lost of hair shaft but the intact follicle will regenerate…
Can I still get laser hair removal if I take these medications? Amlodipine 5 MG, Enalapril-HCT
Laser Hair removal
Apr 15, 2021
The medications listed should not prevent you from successful hair removal using IPL or diode machines. Certain antibiotics, medications (accutane, etal.) and certain medical conditions can sensitize your skin to light energy and will increase the chance of skin damage. Be sure to discuss all your medications, medical conditions and skin history with the provider before starting hair removal therapies.

Loose skin after weight loss
Dec 15, 2020
The short answer is probably. My younger patients with large percentage weight loss tend to have less loose skin then my older patients. The speed of weight loss is also a determining factor. A large degree of body fat reduction in the arms and under the chin may appear to have looser skin than say the hips, thighs or abdomen. The bottom line is that although this is usually a concern before weight loss very few of my patients are concerned about this during the weight loss journey. Things…
Can I have facial laser hair removal treatment while having active breakouts on my face? Does
Hair removal and ACNE
Dec 11, 2020
One of the many wonderful aspects of light energy is the ability to eliminate pigmented hair follicles, but it is also used to treat active blemishes. Many clinics will use IPL energy filtered appropriately to treat for hair removal, and they can also adjust the energy and the wavelengths to address active blemishes, reduce skin pigmentations, reduce small wrinkles, resurface skin layers, and reduce vascular lesions. So if you proceed with a provider using IPL light energy for your hair…
