Laser Hair Removal

Treatment Overview

Laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair follicle with pulses of light, disabling growth while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. A series of six to eight sessions produces a lasting reduction on the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, back and chest.

Treatments are quick, safe for a range of skin tones with the right settings, and far less effort than a lifetime of shaving and waxing.

How to Prepare

• Attend a consultation with Dr. Iskander to confirm settings for your skin
• Avoid sun, tanning and self‑tanner for four weeks before
• Stop retinoids and acids one week before
• Let us know about cold sores, isotretinoin use or keloid history

What to Expect

• A patch test and settings chosen for your skin and hair
• Quick pulses that feel like a light snap
• Mild redness for an hour or two
• Hair shedding over two weeks, with less regrowth after each session

Aftercare

• Follow the healing kit instructions and keep the skin moist
• No makeup until peeling has finished
• Strict sun avoidance and SPF for four weeks
• Sleep elevated the first two nights to reduce swelling
