Laser Hair Reduction
You've spent years shaving, tweezing, plucking and waxing to remove unwanted hair. MMS suggests a more effective and more permanent solution - laser assisted hair removal.
Many areas of the body (except eyes) can be targeted, including upper lip, chin, face, underarms, neck, back, bikini line and legs. The treatment is also effective at decreasing the incidence of razor bumps.
Laser technology utilizes light recognition of pigment in the hair shaft to do its job. The intense light of the laser actually fuses with the pigment and releases and minimizes unwanted dark and thick hair. With each treatment, hair grows in lighter and finer; eventually, it simply doesn't grow back at all. On occasion, patients will experience some return of hair growth and may require periodic follow-ups.
Laser hair removal is performed by Midwest Medical Specialists' licensed aestheticians with our dermatologists available as needed. You may feel a mild heat-like sensation during the treatment, and may experience a mild sunburn-like feeling following treatment.

| Unwanted hair on many parts of the body can be reduced through a series of laser treatments. Number of treatments depends on hair color, thickness of growth, and individual response to the treatment. |
Treated hair will continue to appear for 7-30 days post-treatment and will then be expelled. Since hair in other stages of growth (not yet emerged) will continue to appear, you will likely need several treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction.
As a medical practice, MMS is unique in that we also address the underlying reasons men and women might have extra hair. Our dermatologists can address hair concerns and procedure success from a whole body perspective, i.e. examining your medications, addressing any underlying illnesses or medical conditions, and factoring in the effect these issues will have on the skins's reaction to the laser hair reduction procedure.
PLEASE NOTE: Cosmetic procedures will not be submitted to insurance.
