Laser hair removal has experienced an explosion in popularity over the years as more Americans decide they want a better solution to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body. Laser hair removal offers several benefits over alternative methods, like waxing, shaving, or plucking, including smoother skin and long-lasting results. At Flourish Dermatology And Aesthetics, Dr. Payne is proud to perform laser hair removal using a state-of-the-art Nd:YAG laser, which is safe and effective for both darker and lighter skin tones. If you're looking for a reliable treatment for the removal of unwanted hair, whether it's on the face, back, arms, legs, armpits, or bikini area, we invite you to reach out to our New Orleans, LA practice to ask about laser hair removal.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
When you visit for your laser hair removal appointment, we will start by having you lie back in one of our private treatment rooms as the areas of your body that are being treated are washed to remove any oil, dirt, moisturizers, or other products. During the procedure, Dr. Payne will stretch out the skin to create a clear pathway between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The energy from the laser will target and destroy the follicle, which prevents it from growing again. Typically, you will need 6 – 8 consecutive treatments every 4 – 6 weeks for optimal results. Your appointments are spaced out in order to allow the treated areas time to recover. This also allows time for hair follicles in the dormant phase to change to the phase of active growth so they can be treated. The Nd:YAG laser used at Flourish Dermatology And Aesthetics is able to target only the hair follicle, preserving the skin in the surrounding treatment area. It also uses a higher wavelength of light that is suitable for pale and dark skin tones. The laser can also lighten dark spots from prior razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
After your laser hair removal session, you may feel a sensation like a mild sunburn around the treatment location. When you get home after your appointment, we suggest soothing creams or cold packs to treat any mild discomfort. You should be fine to resume all normal activities, but we advise avoiding strenuous activities and sun exposure for at least a day while your skin recovers.

Dr. Payne was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, informative, personable, and welcoming. I’m very much looking forward to my next visit to have my moles removed. She was more well versed in some of my skincare issues that other dermatologists had previously dismissed. I highly recommend her, and plan on referring all of my friends to her practice.
