Laser Hair Removal
In Savannah, GA
Tired of shaving, trimming and tweezing? At Savannah Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted body hair by beaming highly concentrated light into the hair follicles of the target area. The most common areas treated are the underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, face, back and chest.
Ideal Candidates
You may be an ideal candidate for Laser Hair Removal if you have unwanted hair on the face or body and are tired of shaving. The procedure is most effective on dark, coarse hair.
As with all medical procedures, excellent candidates are those in good overall health and who have informed, realistic expectations.
Preparation
An initial consultation with Dr. Minton is the first step to any procedure. There he will discuss your health history.
The Laser Hair Removal Procedure
The procedure for Laser Hair Removal is fairly simple and comes with mild discomfort. An intense light beam is directed at the hair follicles of the unwanted hair. Pigment in the follicles absorbs the light and destroys the hair, without causing harm to the surrounding area. Several sessions (generally 3 to 7) are required to achieve permanent results.

After The Procedure
There is no downtime after a Laser Hair Removal treatment, though the treated area will feel like it’s sunburned for a couple of days. Cold compresses and moisturizers should help alleviate any discomfort.
