Whitney M.
I was also thinking of going with a different place until I met Dr. Kayastha. Within 5 minutes of meeting him, I knew he was the one. He has an amazing bedside manner plus he was honest and straight forward from the beginning. He spent quite a bit of time with me explaining everything and didn’t send me to meet with his office staff to explain important details about the surgery like the other 2 places. I never felt like he was rushing with me to see another patient. My result were amazing and I would highly recommend Dr. Kayastha. Once you meet him, you won’t want to go anywhere else!!

What is Laser Hair Removal?
At K Plastic Surgery, we use the state-of-the-art Cynosure Elite MPX (www.cynosure.com) laser technology to deliver exceptional results. The Cynosure Elite MPX is effective and comfortable for all skin types, and it has the most advanced cooling handpiece (the Zimmer) and the latest multi-wavelength system, powered by MultiPlex technology.
Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Anyone who has unwanted body hair that they would like permanently reduced or removed can benefit from laser hair removal. Laser hair removal can be used virtually anywhere you have hair including the face, underarms, arms, legs, back, and chest. Our Cynosure Elite MPX system is safe and effective for all hair colors and skin types. Because laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, those with darker hair will have the most success with the least treatments. However, you can still find success if you have brown, blonde, and even red hair, it just might take a few more treatment sessions. During a consultation, Dr. Kayastha can determine if you will be a successful candidate and how many treatment sessions you can expect.
Laser hair removal caters to multiple treatment areas, including the back, chest, and arms, offering longer-lasting, smoother results with fewer ingrown hairs.
What Happens During Laser Hair Removal?
Prior to laser hair removal treatment, you will be given eye protection and a cooling gel will be applied to the treatment area to protect the skin. After mapping the treatment area and prepping the skin, the appropriate laser handpiece will be used, delivering quick bursts of laser light. Several passes will be made over the treatment area until all follicles have been effectively treated. Patients report a sensation similar to a rubber band being snapped on their skin, however, with the Zimmer cooling system, your discomfort is greatly minimized.
What Results Can I Expect?
Over the next month, your treated hair will begin to fall out. Due to the natural growth phases of the hair, you will need several spaced-out treatment sessions to ensure all hair follicles are treated and to see optimal hair reduction.
Dr. Kayastha and our laser specialists can determine how many treatment sessions you can expect with your laser hair removal treatment. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation at K Plastic Surgery.
In the days following your laser hair removal treatment, the treated area will appear red and swollen, similar to a sunburn. You will be instructed to apply an ice pack and use an anti-inflammatory cream to help with discomfort. In rare cases, the area may blister. It is important to wear sunscreen or avoid sun exposure in the weeks following your treatment to prevent pigment changes to the treated skin.
The key benefits of laser hair removal include its precision in selectively targeting hair follicles, gradually eliminating hair growth with minimal to no recovery time required.
