For People of Color
WE'VE TREATED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OF COLOR WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS 
In Atlanta, Laser Hair Removal for African American people and other people of ethnicity and color was once upon a time a risky procedure. We are happy to report this is no longer true! Using new YAG laser technology, we have done thousands of sessions of laser hair removal on people of color without complication. Uniquely designed lasers protect the skin while achieving excellent hair removal results. And, as we reduce the hair growth, we even can reduce the pigmentation changes and bumps (caused by ingrown hairs) that commonly arise. The results are often very dramatic and life changing! We can treat all body parts very effectively!
Facial Hair in people of color We have done thousands of laser hair removal sessions in Atlanta and Alpharetta on men and women with severe bumps on their face and neck with outstanding results. These people were emotionally distraught over this facial hair and had tried numerous over the counter products without success. It is important to know you are not alone and we can help. We can show you numerous pictures of our results, some of which will be on this site. We recently recognized that a few people of South Asian, Mediterranean and Eastern European ethnicity may have a slight risk of increased hair growth on the side of the face after laser hair removal while achieving hair reduction on the lip and chin. This is quite rare. It is details like this that we understand as a result of the thousands of sessions we have performed.
Testimonial from one of our patients!!! This is a real e-mail received in February, 2008!
Dear _____, I wanted to send you the link to Dr. Kulkin's website. Please take a look. I think you will be impressed with his background and expertise. I heard about his facility from a radio advertisement about four years ago, I placed a phone call and got all the information. Due to my concerns with the exposure of this type of procedure on people of color, I was very reluctant. I had seen talk shows, etc. that revealed the dramatic experience that some people of color experienced. I decided to give it some time and follow up with the success of this office. I wanted to compare the excellent reports about this practice to what time would reveal. Three years later, I called the lady at this office that I initially spoke to. Although, she was no longer working there, the business website revealed the success stories, news coverage, and new accomplishments since that time. On my initial consultation, I decide to begin treatment on the same day. He sat down with me and asked me questions. These questions were related to treatment and he also went beyond those to get to know who I am as a person and what my interest were. Once you do a consultation with him you will see how much compassion and enthusiasm he has for what he does. I feel he has a genuine spirit and overwhelming desire for what he does. My concern was for facial hair that was causing blemishes. I signed up for eight sessions, of which I have two left. With in a week I noticed a difference in the hair growth. Each treatment seemed to be just as rewarding. I only wish I gotten the treatments sooner. I now have more than 80% of the hair gone. Well, lets relate it like this. I use to shave with my husbands razor every morning and by the next morning I could feel more stubble. I couldn't shave daily because the more I shave the more I broke out in bumps. Now I don't shave, well perhaps once or twice a month I'll see a little fuss and decide to shave it off. My confidence had decreased and I wasn't aware of it. Since treat began last fall, I've lost 30 pounds and I feel more like the old me that disappear. As you can see, I am really pleased with my experience. See the attached website link below, www.wifh.com. Sincerely, MK

Burns in ethnic skin types no longer a concern as 30,000 procedures have been completed successfully
Atlanta, GA – 11/12/09 – Dr. Jay Kulkin, MD, internationally recognized laser expert and Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery ( highest designation), has successfully developed a laser technique making laser hair removal burns in ethnic skin types a thing of the past. For years, individuals with ethnic skin types have suffered needlessly with embarrassing, unwanted hair, as reports of burns (as seen on Oprah) have caused them to avoid laser procedures. Dr. Kulkin, Founder and Medical Director of WIFH, has developed a unique technique using the Cynosure Elite Yag Laser and has utilized it exclusively for over 30,000 procedures on all body types without one burn. Laser hair removal is a medical procedure, which means it should be performed or overseen by a medical doctor with experience in laser technologies. Dr. Kulkin, with 23 years of laser experience, has spent the past seven years perfecting the YAG laser technique. Specifically, his approach utilizes unique power settings, pulse duration and frequency of laser pulses, as well as a protective cooling agent. The result is permanent hair reduction, ingrown hair bump reduction and pigmented blemish reduction, not to mention the restoration of self esteem in patients with hair in undesirable locations. Additionally, Dr. Kulkin has perfected the process so that his patients do not need to have initial test pulses to determine the appropriate laser and setting, a procedure that is common at many Medi-Spas that do not have his intensive training in the field. “We see patients from over 30 different countries, some coming after suffering burns elsewhere, and we are able to safely and effectively treat them all,” says Dr. Kulkin. After the prescribed number of sessions, Dr. Kulkin’s innovative maintenance program to remove ingrown hairs with bumps and pigmentation in darker skin -- called Pseudofolliculitis Barbae -- has proven to maintain positive results for years. The procedure is virtually pain-free. Patients are aware of the laser, but over 90% of the procedures are performed using no topical anesthesia. There is not a “one-size-fits-all” laser, and this is especially true for darker skin. The YAG laser is, however, the safest laser to treat ethnic skin types. Dr. Kulkin explains, “In very simple terms, this particular laser ignores the pigment present in the skin and only sees the pigment in the hair. Because it doesn’t respond to the pigment in the skin, our patients can rest assured it is safe for their skin.” Dr. Kulkin's WIFH clinic boasts the most perfected and trusted techniques for laser hair removal. While many “Medi-Spas” offer the treatment, they may not have a doctor on site. Some Medi-Spas may have a doctor on site, but in all likelihood that doctor does not have extensive training in laser hair removal. However, at WIFH, each patient is under Dr. Kulkin's direct care. Dr. Kulkin and WIFH have performed over 90,000 laser hair removal procedures making him THE expert in Atlanta for proven results.
