Laser Hair Removal
Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until recently, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently has been by electrolysis—which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable. Today, laser hair removal can be safely and effectively used on all skin types and most hair color.

At ReGenesis Medical Spa all laser hair removal procedures begin with a complimentary consultation with a  physician specifically trained in laser surgery.  Laser hair removal is then performed by highly trained licensed individuals supervised by an on site physician to assure your safety, comfort and satisfaction.

A Word About Laser Hair Removal and Your Safety
New technologies and therapies have made laser hair removal procedures easier and less expensive for patients while the results continue to improve. Innovative approaches are allowing physicians to avoid some of the side effects that plagued earlier methods. On the other hand, the proliferation of laser hair removal and skin care spas has raised safety concerns.

With the increasing popularity and availability of these services, the incidence of injury from laser hair removal procedures are beginning to grow. While serious injury very rarely occurs (there have been two deaths associated with laser hair removal and the use of topical anesthetic), troublesome injuries requiring evaluation and treatment by a medical specialist are becoming more commonplace. Injuries can include scarring, pigmentation changes, and even blindness.

The North Carolina Medical Board considers laser hair removal to be laser surgery, and therefore "Hair-removal procedures using such technologies should be performed only by a physician or by an individual designated as having adequate training and experience by a physician who bears full responsibility for the procedure" (excerpt taken from the North Carolina Medical Board Position Statement).
