Laser Hair Removal Indianapolis Indiana

Indianapolis, Indiana, laser hair removal expert Kimberly Short, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon, says many women find body hair in places they don't like or expect. Unfortunately, most methods allow the unwanted hair to grow back. Some methods even heap pain on top the inconvenience because some, like waxing, electrolysis or tweezing, can hurt.

Chilling tip

One solution: laser hair removal in Indianapolis, Indiana, uses a new, state-of-the-art laser system, the Sciton Laser that removes unwanted hair, safer, faster and with less discomfort than ever before. The Sciton laser has a chilling tip to cool the skin as it works.

The laser targets hair follicles and eliminates -- or significantly impedes -- hair from returning. It is a quick, virtually painless procedure, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after treatment.

Hirsute Catch-22

However, a hirsute Catch-22 is thrown into the mix because a laser can only zap and destroy hair follicles while they're in a growth cycle. Hair growth has three cycles; however, not all follicles are growing at once, so the patient usually must return for additional treatments. Treatments are short but most patients require three to seven treatments at four to six week intervals.

Dr. Short trained with top plastic surgery experts in the U.S. and France, learning cutting-edge skin care and hair removal techniques, including use of state-of-the-art lasers. She believes the use of lasers for such procedures as laser hair removal and microdermabrasion have perhaps been the most substantial contribution to plastic surgery in recent years.

Consequently, Dr. Short offers her patients a surgeon's hands with a feminine touch.
