Hair Procedures

Laser hair removal helps destroy hair follicles in areas such as the armpits, face, back or arms leaving the patient’s skin smooth after several treatments have been completed. Each treatment can last about 30 minutes and eliminate unwanted hair in both men and women. The ideal candidates for this procedure have light skin, dark hair; they are tired of shaving regularly, and seek to remove hair permanently, particularly on large areas. During recovery, the treated areas will look and feel sunburned, which you can alleviate with cold compresses. To prevent changes to the skin color, wear sunscreen during the first month of recovery. Most patients can wear makeup on the next day unless their skin is blistering. Keep in mind; laser hair removal requires multiple sessions for 12 months or more. The typical cost of this procedure is $150 to $650 depending on the area that’s being treated.

Eyebrow transplant is a simple surgical procedure where donor hair follicles are transplanted individually in the right position and spaced closely together to create fuller eyebrows. This procedure only requires a local anesthetic. Recovery is fast and painless, but you may experience temporary bruising and swelling. While the results are permanent, it takes up to a year to see the final results. Good candidates for this procedure are individuals that have lost eyebrow fullness, and looking for an effective way to restore their brows. The cost varies based on the grafts required. A transplant requires an average of 100-400 follicles per eyebrow.
