The Process
By the time you search Atlanta laser hair removal you've probably been considering laser hair removal for some time. Perhaps you've even heard commercials for national laser hair removal chains or local medi-spas, calling themselves experts and offering laser services under the "supervision" of a Medical Director, or that their lasers are superior and are designed to only for laser hair removal. We caution you to be careful. Most of these Medical Directors/Physicians are only in the office a few hours each week to perform administrative work; they don’t actually perform laser services or have any laser training. The practitioners that do perform their laser services receive a one to two week “intense” training course in their corporate headquarters. All of these things make it difficult for you, the consumer, to figure out where to go.

How does the laser hair removal process work?
We all know that you get warmer, faster standing in the sun with a dark colored shirt than someone wearing a white colored shirt. Laser hair removal works by the same principle.
A hair's pigment, that substance that gives hair its color, absorbs the laser energy and converts that energy into heat. It is the heat that permanently destroys the hair follicle, making it unable to produce hair. So, you see, we aren’t actually removing hair, we are permanently reducing the number of follicles that are able to make hair.
All of our laser hair removal packages include 8-sessions. The most recent research conducted by the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery concluded that patients need in excess of 6-9 treatments for the best result. Don’t fret, although you will need to come in for 8-sessions, you will see a reduction after each and every treatment. A single laser pulse treats hundreds of follicles in a fraction of a second, that means that a visit to our office for a laser treatment take just a few minutes out of your busy day.
