Laser hair removal is very effective in treating a variety of skin colors and most hair colors except for very blonde or gray hair. The Super Long Pulse Diode laser, by Palomar, can treat a variety of skin types and can treat most hair colors except for very blonde or gray hair. The lasers only work on hair in the active growth stage. Because at any given time only about one third of the hairs are in that stage, at least 3 treatments are required in order to achieve adequate hair removal. Most patients will require more than three treatments. It is imperative that you do not pluck, wax or use depilatories for 3 weeks prior to treatment. You can however clip or shave during this time and need to shave the area the day of treatment. Most areas of the body can be treated.

In addition to these treatments, there are also injectable fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. These can be injected during a lunchtime and fill in lines and wrinkles, such as the nasolabial folds, vertical lip lines and acne scars. Restylane and Juvederm generally last about 6 months. Fillers are different from BOTOX.  BOTOX acts to prevent muscle action that causes dynamic lines in the skin. Areas most commonly treated are the forehead, crow's feet and glabella (area between the eyebrows). Most patients have their treatment and are able to return to work immediately after treatment. Results from BOTOX generally last for about 4 months.
