Laser Hair Removal

Welcome to the Utah Cosmetic Surgery website, please upgrade your Flash Plugin and enable JavaScript.

Unwanted hair can be permanently removed with laser hair removal, freeing you from inconvenient and often painful routines such as shaving and waxing, with safer, more predictable results than older techniques such as electrolysis. Excessive hair in unwanted places can be unsightly, irritating, and even a source of hygiene problems. Permanent hair removal can allow you to return to your favorite activities with confidence.

Answers to Common Laser Hair Removal Questions

Unwanted hair can be removed from virtually any area of the body including:

  • Upper lip
  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Underarms
  • Legs
  • Pubic area
  • Arms
  • Shoulders
  • Back
  • Buttocks
The development of unwanted hair can occur
for a number of reasons including:
  • Age
  • Genetics
  • Hormonal changes
  • Certain medications

You may desire permanent hair removal for a variety of reasons:

  • Improved hygiene and reduced odor
  • Sensitive skin which responds poorly to shaving and waxing
  • Hair which is too dark
  • Hair which grows too fast
  • Hair which is too coarse
  • Unwanted development of facial or chest hair in women
  • Convenience
  • Lifestyle (such as bicycling or bodybuilding)

How it Works

Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicle with energy. This heats the hair follicle, destroying its ability to produce hair. Only the follicle itself is targeted. The surrounding tissue is unharmed.

Utah Laser Hair Removal Surgeon Dr. Haupt performs laser hair removal using Elos Technology by Syneron, the most advanced laser hair removal system. In the past, laser hair removal was not effective on darker skin tones or light hairs. This new technology makes laser hair removal a reality for people with any skin tone and with lighter air color.

Benefits

You do not have to live with unwanted hair. Permanent hair removal means that you are free from the unwanted hair without the drawbacks of shaving, waxing, or tweezing. No more stubble, razor burns, and ingrown hairs. You will be able to wear bathing suits and shorts with confidence.

Laser hair removal is especially rewarding for women with facial or chest hair. Although it is quite normal, the development of hair in these areas can be very embarrassing for women, and may be seen as a sign of age and a loss of femininity. Temporarily removing hair from these areas can be a painful and difficult process. Laser hair removal is a permanent solution that lets you leave the worry of the appearance of stray hairs and the removal routine in the past.
