Unwanted Hair

What Is Unwanted Hair?

Unwanted hair may be hereditary or associated with PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, medications such as prednisone, or other hormone changes. It can also simply be unwanted.

How Is It Evaluated?

Assessment considers skin tone, hair color and thickness, treatment area, hormone history, medications, prior hair-removal methods, and goals.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

Laser offers long-term reduction for suitable pigmented hair. Electrolysis treats follicles individually and is the only FDA-recognized method of permanent hair removal, including light-colored hair.

Is laser or electrolysis better for unwanted hair?

Laser is efficient for larger areas with dark hair. Electrolysis works on every hair color and is useful for precision or permanent removal. Many patients benefit from both.

Aftercare and Next Steps

Avoid waxing or tweezing between sessions unless instructed otherwise. Follow shaving and sun-exposure guidance, use gentle skincare, and contact the clinic for blistering, severe swelling, infection signs, or unexpected pigment change.
