Laser Hair Removal
You may notice unwanted hair most in spring and summer when you wear a bathing suit, shorts, or a skirt, but by choosing laser hair removal in Glens Falls you can remove hair year-round from almost anywhere you'd like to see smoother skin and reduced appearance of hair without shadows and stubble.
Laser hair removal is popular for both men and women. The treatment can eliminate unwanted body hair from common trouble spots such as the legs, upper lip, back, and bikini area. Unlike electrolysis, laser hair removal is non-invasive. It is also much more comfortable and convenient than shaving, plucking, or waxing. Dr. Garcia uses an intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal system manufactured by Lumenis®, a leader in laser and light-based aesthetic technologies.
Cosmetic surgery and medical spa procedures are providing patients whole new ways to look healthy and attractive. Dr. Garcia offers plastic surgery at Glens Falls Hospital, Saratoga Hospital, or Saratoga Surgery Center. He also performs minor cosmetic procedures such as laser hair removal at his office in Glens Falls on Park Street. Click here to request a consultation online.
What's It All About?
Many Upstate patients are choosing laser hair removal because this treatment:
- Is fast, gentle, and requires no downtime
- Achieves long lasting hair removal
- Offers a better alternative to waxing, shaving, and plucking
- Treats almost all hair colors and skin types, including tanned skin
- Can be used on smaller or sensitive areas like the lip and bikini line, or large areas, like a man's back
- Can be performed individually or in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures
Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
During treatment, pulses of light are directed onto the skin, heating and destroying hair follicles without damaging surrounding tissue. Those patients with lighter skin and darker hair tend to see the best results, but almost everyone can enjoy hair reduction with the treatment. It is important to remember that treatments will permanently reduce but in most cases not permanently remove all hair from the treatment site. Dr. Garcia can complete your laser hair removal at his Glens Falls office in 15 minutes to one hour, depending on the size of the area treated. You should experience no discomfort during the procedure; redness or swelling that occurs usually disappears quickly.
At your consultation, Dr. Garcia can answer your questions about laser hair removal or any of the other medical spa and cosmetic surgery procedures he performs in Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs, such as breast enlargement, hand surgery, or tummy tuck.
