Scalp Laser Hair Removal
There are several reasons to undergo scalp laser hair removal; the most common being cosmetic with men and women wanting to have a hair-free scalp so that they do not need to shave daily. If you have considered the bald-look and want to make it a permanent style change in your life, laser hair removal of the scalp can permanently eliminate the hair follicles so you have limited to no hair on the scalp area.
The next most common reason to undergo scalp laser hair removal is in patients who have follicular rashes, keloids, or recurrent scars associated with hair follicles in the head. By permanently removing the hair follicles, it is possible to reduce the chance of folliculitis and recurrent scarring.
One of the major benefits of scalp laser hair removal at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica is that unwanted hair can be removed permanently and you are less likely to be shave daily to achieve a smooth and hairless scalp. If you are experiencing hair loss and wish to undergo laser hair removal to permanently reduce the caliber and density of hair in the scalp, laser hair removal using the YAG laser in our office can be beneficial in many different ways. Permanent hair reduction can help you achieve a smoother hairline without the obvious signs of alopecia and hair loss. The density and thickness of your hair on your scalp will dictate the number of sessions needed and the time interval required between the laser hair removal treatments. Avoid the unnecessary side effects of shaving by laser removing the hair follicles to reduce the onset of folliculitis and red bumps.
Scalp Pigmentation and Laser Hair Removal
