Hair Removal Options

There are many types of lasers being used for laser hair removal in Philadelphia and south New Jersey. Diode lasers and true lasers are available. Dr. Sorokin uses the gold standard in hair removal - either an Alexandrite laser or a Nd:Yag laser. Which laser is best for you is based on skin color and hair color, in addition to your overall skin tone and health. With 2 distinct treatment options, Dr. Sorokin is able to successfully treat virtually all skin types and even very dense or coarse hair.

Most patients will require 5 or 6 treatments to achieve maximum benefit. Treatments are usually spaced out at 8 to 10 week intervals.

Dr. Sorokin also offers other popular medical spa treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and laser skin resurfacing. You can learn more during your consultation.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Everyone interested in this procedure needs to remember that there is no such thing as "permanent" hair removal. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not permit manufacturers of laser hair removal devices to claim that hair removal is permanent because most people will not achieve permanent and complete elimination of unwanted hair through this technology.

Instead, you can expect permanent reduction in the number of hairs at a treatment site. This is an important concept as touchups will be needed periodically to keep your skin as smooth and as hair-free as possible.

Keep in mind that unlike in many states where hair removal is performed by technicians or nurses, hair removal in New Jersey must be performed by a physician according to New Jersey law.
