Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

Q: Who can be treated with Apogee and LPIR laser hair removal?
A: Before the Apogee and LPIR lasers with the TKS process, many people could not be considered for laser hair removal treatment. Other laser and pulsed-light methods used energy levels and exposure times that could cause skin damage or were ineffective. But the Apogee and LPIR laser process makes laser hair removal a safer, more effective option for almost everyone.

Q: Who are good candidates for laser hair removal?
A: In general, if you have a concern about unwanted hair, you are probably a candidate. Your complexion type and how your skin reacts to sunlight are key factors in determining the benefits you may receive. The most dramatic results are in patients with light skin and dark hair, but those with lighter hair and darker skin can also receive benefits from laser hair removal. Other personal health factors need to be considered, so each patient must be evaluated individually. The laser staff at the Center for Women's Health & Birthcare can answer your specific questions during the evaluation.

Q: Is there an age limit for laser hair removal patients?
A: Women of all ages, from young teens to older adults, have been treated and are enjoying the benefits of laser hair removal. Younger and mature women alike seek treatment for a variety of reasons, including:

• Cosmetic / aesthetic needs
• Convenience
• Elimination of uncomfortable, unsightly rashes or ingrown hairs that can result from other hair removal methods
• Eradication of hair that causes self-consciousness or embarrassment
• Medical conditions
