Laser Hair Removal
At Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we understand that unwanted hair can be a source of frustration and self-consciousness for many individuals. That’s why we’re proud to offer state-of-the-art laser hair removal treatments, providing a long-lasting solution for smooth, hair-free skin. Led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Supriya Tomar, our team is committed to delivering exceptional care and outstanding results using the latest advancements in laser technology.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and eliminate unwanted hair. This advanced treatment offers a more permanent solution than traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking. At Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we utilize cutting-edge laser systems to provide safe, effective, and comfortable hair removal treatments for patients of all skin types.
Our laser hair removal technology is designed to target the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. This precision allows us to treat various areas of the body with minimal discomfort and downtime, making it an increasingly popular choice for both men and women seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair.
How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This light energy is then converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth.
During a treatment session at Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, our experienced practitioners use a handheld device to deliver precise pulses of laser energy to the targeted area. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients describing a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. To ensure your comfort, we may apply a cooling gel or use a built-in cooling system on the laser device.
It’s important to note that it is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase. Since not all hairs are in this phase simultaneously, multiple treatment sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and hair growth patterns.

FAQs
To help you better understand treatments at Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:
The number of treatments required varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. For optimal results, most patients typically need 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinching or snapping feeling against the skin. The level of discomfort varies depending on the individual and the area being treated. We use cooling systems and can apply numbing cream if needed to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Treatment time depends on the size of the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip may take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs can take up to an hour.
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth long-term. However, some patients may require occasional maintenance treatments to address any new hair growth, which can occur due to hormonal changes or other factors.
Advancements in laser technology have made it possible to safely treat a wide range of skin types. At Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we use advanced laser systems that are effective and safe for various skin tones. However, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation to determine the best approach for your specific skin type.
We recommend avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks before your treatment. You should also avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for six weeks prior to treatment. Shaving is permitted and encouraged a day or two before your session.
Laser hair removal treatments are considered to be elective, so most insurance providers won’t cover the costs. To help make laser hair removal affordable and accessible for everyone, Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology offers financing options via CareCredit®. We also accept cash, personal checks, and major credit cards. Contact us today if you have any questions about the cost of laser hair removal.
