Laser Hair Removal

Cultura Dermatology and Laser Center, is considered one of the top laser hair removal centers in the United States. Cultura maintains an impressive inventory of twelve hair removal lasers as part of their hair removal system. This enables us to treat you with the best laser that fits your skin color, skin sensitivity and hair characteristics. Cultura's co-founder, Dr. Battle is considered one of the world's top laser hair removal experts and his 2 years at Harvard University doing laser hair removal research and clinical studies.

Laser hair removal includes removal of unwanted hair on various parts of the body. The most common areas treated are facial hair removal, underarms hair removal, arms hair removal, leg hair removal, and bikini line hair removal. The back, chest and stomach areas are also considered areas where laser hair removal may be beneficial for both men and women of all ages.

You can be immediately seen after treatment for there are no temporary or transient skin changes. There is no recovery period, including no redness, swelling, or change in skin color. You can return to work or have lunch with friends or colleagues immediately after treatment without anyone knowing you were treated. One of the value added properties of laser hair removal is that these hair removal lasers also help to remove the unwanted dark spots and texture changes that patients get from ingrown hair. Cultura's patients who have ingrown hair bumps problems are probably equally ecstatic of their improvement in their skin's color and texture as they are with their permanent hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a very fast treatment. To treat a patient's full face, including neck would take 15-20 minutes. The upper lip is a 5-minute treatment, underarms and bikini lines would take 10-15 minutes and the legs would take 30-45 minutes.

While most facilities continue to treat hair removal with the “one size fits all” laser hair removal philosophy, Cultura dermatologists tailor hair removal treatment plans based on the patient's skin color, ethnicity, tan level, skin sensitivity, hair diameter and hair color. Cultura's doctors and practitioners choose from among one dozen hair removal systems (including Alexandrite, Diode, Nd:YAG & IPL) to make sure the patient receives optimal treatment. As Dr. Battle continues training physicians (nationally and internationally) in the use of lasers for hair epilation, the staff at Cultura, under his direction, continues to be most current in the latest tools, techniques and procedures. Dr. Battle often states during his teaching lectures that “permanent results can be achieved by combining skin expertise, with the right laser, and the right hair.” Again, this is why it is crucial to choose your experts wisely. Because of this, Dr. Battle and Cultura's staff have become trusted resources for patients who have become dissatisfied and discontent with their laser hair removal results at other practices. While most practices describe their procedures as “permanent hair reduction”, Cultura has a worldwide reputation for permanent hair removal. Cultura takes pride in its laser hair removal expertise.

The treatment is described as feeling like very small rubber bands popping on the skin. It's described as annoying, not really painful and there is no lingering discomfort so you will feel nothing once the treatment stops.

In order to permanently destroy hair, a minimum of eight treatments is generally required at Cultura Dermatology and Laser Center. These treatments are spread out anywhere from 4-12 weeks apart with the average being 4-6 weeks. The number of individual treatments may vary depending upon the patient's hormone levels, hair types, hair characteristics and patient preference. With each consecutive treatment, your hair will be thinner in diameter and lighter in color. This is one of the reasons we have 12 different hair removal lasers. As your hair changes, from darker and courser to lighter and thinner with each subsequent treatment, we will treat you with a more appropriate laser that is more effective for new hair characteristic. This allows us to always treat you with the best laser, regardless of your hair characteristics, skin color, ethnicity or tanned level to ensure the best results to our patients seeking permanent laser hair removal.

We feel that Cultura is the perfect model for you to trust to perform laser hair removal treatments on you. It is owned and operated by a dermatologist whose research at Harvard helped to create these new generation hair removal lasers. Dr. Battle spent over 2 (two) years of laser research at Harvard University focusing only on laser hair removal. His laser hair removal research at Harvard helped to pioneer the ability to safely and effectively treat all skin colors regardless of ethnicity so that patients of color, no longer have to resort to conventional methods, which can create dark spots and scars.

Cultura performs over 100 laser hair removal treatments a week and has been doing this for over a decade. Our center looks like the United Nations and we are as experienced in treating patients from Nigeria as we are in treating patients from England.
