Laser Hair Removal - Boston

Laser Hair Removal has become a very popular way to provide long-term reduction of black, brown, or red hair in such areas as:

Laser treatment is safe, and much faster and more comfortable than traditional methods like electrolysis. Thinning and eliminating hair helps not just appearance but also minimizes problems like ingrown hairs which can follow waxing, shaving, and tweezing.

At The Rockoff Dermatology Center, we have extensive experience with laser hair removal. The lasers we use allow us to obtain good results with both coarse and fine hair, even in people with darker skin tones.

Most people require 3-5 sessions, about 4-6 weeks apart. Each treatment thins and lessens the hair some more.

At each treatment session, we shave the hair and apply an anesthetic cream so the laser will be nearly painless. Afterward, cool packs ensure quick and easy recovery.

Lasers help lighten and remove tattoos by directing a beam of pure light at the various colors. At The Rockoff Dermatology Center we have a full range of wavelengths for different tattoo colors:

• The Yag 1064 Laser for blue and black tattoos
• The Alexandrite Laser for black, green, and multicolored tattoos
• The Yag 532 Laser for red tattoos

Treatments are given every 4-6 weeks. Anesthetic cream is usually enough to make the treatment, which generally lasts just a few minutes, comfortable.

Depending on the size and color of the tattoo, and whether it is amateur or professional, total treatment time is hard to predict. As few as 4-6 treatments may be enough, or as many as 15-20, or even more.
