Laser Hair Removal Manhattan: May 2013

What is the safest and most effective hair removal procedure?

Removing unwanted hair can save us from hassle and embarrassment. Dr. Peter Vignjevic’s dermatology office in Hamilton, Ontario offers save and effective laser hair removal using LightSheer laser technology.

Here’s some things to know:

LightSheer is a strong light absorbed by the colour of the hair to be removed. This causes the hair to fall out and prevents re-growth.

The LightSheer Diode laser is recognised to be the most effective laser for hair removal.

Almost any area can be treated.

Laser does not work for blonde or white hair.

5 laser treatments reduce hairs by 75-95%.

Laser is less painful than electrolysis for most people.

Treatments are done every 4 to 12 weeks depending on the treated area.

There is a small risk of increased or decreased skin pigmentation which is nearly always reversible.

This procedure is not covered by OHIP.

If laser hair removal sounds like a great option for you, please contact Dr. Peter Vignjevic’s dermatology office for a free consultation 905-549-1025.

Warmer Weather Puts Laser Hair Removal for Women in the Spotlight

Traditional hair removal regimes often represent the biggest chore of the early summer, especially for women whose body hair is of a particularly thick and dark character. Those who experience hair growth on the belly, back, upper arms, thighs and legs, as well as especially abundant growth on the bikini area, with coming temperatures, when comfort and cultural attitudes make it more difficult for them to cover up.

The Laser Treatment Clinic is offering a special promotion at present that allows women to take advantage of up to 50% courses of laser hair removal treatment alongside other services available at the clinic.

This treatment is available for all women over the age of 18, keen on experiencing a more long-lasting and successful hair removal technique this summer, whether they are affected by hirsutism or simply prefer the idea of quitting their more intensive and uncomfortable traditional regimes over the summer period.
