The advice given herein is for a general audience, and may not be applicable to any given individual.  At the Institute of Laser Medicine all therapy is individualized for each patient.

Please be advised that the photographs in the photo gallery section on this website are of actual patients of the Institute of Laser Medicine and depict the actual results which they obtained from treatment.  Despite these results, individual results for any given patient cannot be guaranteed, nor can they be predicted with absolute accuracy.  Results may vary.  Although permanent hair reduction can occur after laser hair removal, for any given patient no assurance of permanency can be guaranteed, nor is any implied.  Laser hair removal may not be effective for any given individual, even after multiple treatments.  Adverse effects, such as change in skin pigmentation (light or dark spots), skin burns, scarring, acne, or folliculitis can occur.  Although many laser hair removal practices advertise laser hair removal as "virtually pain-free", the Institute of Laser Medicine does not, and does not support this representation.  Laser hair removal, while generally well-tolerated, can be uncomfortable, particularly utilizing the new laser technology used to treat patients with dark skin.  The Institute of Laser Medicine utilizes cooling technology which decreases the discomfort associated with laser hair removal, which enables patients to tolerate long treatment sessions, thereby allowing the treatment of large body areas, such as full legs or back and shoulders.
