Hair Removal

Unwanted hair can cause embarassment, skin irritation from shaving, and can be a source of uncomfortable skin infections. With the lasers and prescriptions available at Accent Dermatology and Laser Institute, it is no longer necessary to suffer with the hassle of shaving, electrolysis, waxing or cream hair removal products.

Drs. Scholz and Sawada are able to help you treat unwanted hair anywhere on the body with their state of the art laser and radio frequency equipment. Studies have shown that after only 4 treatments, up to 70% long-term hair reduction can be obtained. There is no downtime associated with these hair removal treatments. As with any laser or IPL treatments, risks of hair removal include blister, bruise, and pigmentation change. Sun protection before and after treatments helps reduce this risk, which is usually quite small.

Occassionally women have an internal hormonal imbalance causing extra facial and body hair growth. In addition to removing this hair with the laser, these patients also need evaluation for hormonal treatment. This usually includes normallizing the hormonal balance in the body via prescription medication, so that the body is healthier from the inside out. The cause of the extra hair growth is adressed, so that the laser can be used effectively to remove the hair already present. If you think you may have a problem with hormonal imbalance cause extra facial or body hair growth, make an appointment today to talk with either Drs. Sawada or Scholz for your skin/hair care.
