Living Room Laser Treatments:

The U.S. Food and Drug Association recently cleared a device called Silk’n for removal of hair growing in the underarms, lower legs and on the bikini line. The gadget makes use of lasers to get rid of unwanted hair in the desired areas.

Medical analysts predict a rise in demand for such devices which rule out the need for repeated visits to the plastic surgeon’s office. One restriction that is placed on the sale of laser hair removal devices however is over their OTC sale. It requires only plastic surgeons and physicians to retail them.

This is just as well, because laser hair removal treatments are not for everyone. For instance, dark skinned individuals and light haired people do not respond well to laser hair removal treatments.

The Hair Removal Journal also emphasizes the importance of experienced physicians and cosmetic surgeons administering and supervising the laser hair removal treatments. Not only are professionals trained to deal with any complication, but they are also in a better position to identify those individuals who can or may not benefit from laser hair removal.

An advanced surgical institute for cosmetic enhancement, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California offers laser hair removal services in a controlled environment. We are also affiliated with the ASPS and adhere to the highest standards of cosmetic surgery and medical requirements.
