Laser Hair Removal

This form of hair removal is a popular treatment for getting unnecessary hair off of the body. At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, the hair removal device that we trust and use is the Splendor X. The Splendor X is a one-of-a-kind device with a wide range of wavelengths that we can customize for your treatment. Knowing the aesthetic goals and concerns that you addressed in your consultation, we apply the device to your specified treatment areas. The device lasers away the hair that you never wanted in the first place.

Preparation and recovery are very important after your session. At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we help you know how to get ready and heal properly from treatment.

You can get ready for your appointment by:

• Cleansing the area to remove oils
• Removing any metallic or reflective objects near the treatment area
• Avoiding the use of makeup or lotions
• Shave the target area

Our team believes that the best ways to heal from your appointments are:

• Cooling the treatment area to avoid pain and swelling
• Using high-SPF sunscreen
• Not overexposing your skin to UV rays
• Not using harsh cleansers that may irritate the skin

At the time of your session, your provider will go over what you need to do before and after your treatment to ensure success.

You will experience at least 6 sessions to remove your unwanted hair from your body. A good benefit of these appointments is that they require no downtime. The size of the treatment area, thickness of hair, and other factors can affect how many appointments you’ll need in order to attain the look you want. Your provider will work to determine how many sessions you require after examining your target areas.
