Overview
Eighty years of skin expertise, applied to every follicle.
Laser hair removal is one of our most popular cosmetic treatments at Pariser Dermatology Specialists. The industry has matured significantly over the past two decades — today's specialized lasers safely destroy unwanted hair almost anywhere on the body.
One criterion must be met: the hair has to contain pigment. White and gray hair cannot be treated with laser; patients with non-pigmented hair are referred for electrolysis instead.
Candidates
Who benefits from laser hair removal.
Treatment areas vary between men and women — both are good candidates when pigment is present in the hair.
For women
Treat the chin, upper lip, underarms, legs and bikini area — including full Brazilian removal — with consistent, long-lasting results.
Medical indications
Patients with conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa or folliculitis may see meaningful improvement following a course of laser treatments.
How it worksLight to heat,
Light to heat,
follicle to rest.
The device aims a concentrated beam of light at the hair follicle. Pigment in the hair absorbs that light and converts it to heat, disabling the follicle's ability to produce new growth — without damaging the surrounding skin.
For optimal results, treatments are repeated every six weeks. With each session, hair grows back softer, finer and less noticeable.
- Cleanse
- The area is cleansed; numbing gel may be applied for sensitive zones.
- Protect
- Aesthetician and patient both wear protective eyewear throughout the procedure.
- Treat
- Skin is held taut; pulses feel like a warm pinprick or a snapped rubber band.
- Repeat
- Series of 6–8 sessions, six weeks apart, for maximum reduction.

The Technology
One device doesn't fit every skin. We choose by physiology.
Both skin type and hair type — light through dark — determine which laser will be safest and most effective. Our aesthetician analyzes both before recommending a protocol.
Your visit
From the week before to the week after.
Most patients reach maximum results with 6–8 treatments scheduled six weeks apart. Your aesthetician will tailor the plan to your skin and hair type at your consultation.
