Get ready to show off a hair-free body all year long. With Laser Hair Removal, by Dr. Moy, you can have silky smooth legs, underarms, and bikini area, or a fuzz free face, neck or back with only a few laser sessions.

Dr. Moy uses the Sheer Light Laser, which has been FDA approved for permanent hair reduction, and is showing dramatic results on darker complexions. Some patients report that 70% of hair, in a treated area, is permanently removed after only a single treatment!

Who is a candidate for laser hair removal? (back to top)
The biggest requirement is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Additionally, very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser energy in their skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients with light hair are not candidates. Tanned patients with dark hair should wait until their tan fades before they are treated.

Skin and hair color influence the effects of laser hair removal: (back to top)
Light skin makes laser hair removal easier to perform. Fewer treatments are required, and better, faster results are obtained. People with darker skin can be treated, but results are slower and more sessions may be required. Your laser hair removal sessions will be individualized according to your skin tone and your hair color and texture.

Laser hair removal requires multiple treatments: (back to top)
Although one laser session can produce long-term hair removal, as a rule multiple treatment sessions are necessary to obtain optimal results. This is due in large part to the fact that laser hair removal is most effective for hair that is in the anagen phase. Anagen is the growth phase of hair. Since hair grows in cycles, not all of the hairs are in anagen at any given time. Additional sessions are necessary to catch all of the hairs when they are in anagen.

What areas can be treated? (back to top)
Any area where there is excessive hair can be treated. The most common areas requested are the face, upper lip, neck, chest, underarms, back, abdomen, bikini line, and legs.
