Laser Hair Removal in Atlanta, Georgia

Now You Can Eliminate Unwanted Facial or Body Hair Once And For All!

If you're looking for a comfortable, effective way to remove unwanted facial or body hair, you owe it to yourself to consider seeing Dr. Kavali for laser hair removal. With a gentle beam of light, you can achieve lasting, permanent hair reduction on virtually any part of your body, leaving you with smooth, hair-free skin.

When you choose a laser hair removal practice, be sure there's a doctor on-site who oversees all treatment parameters and protocols. The person operating the laser should be a physician, a Physician Assistant (PA), a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or a nurse (RN or LPN) who is specially trained in laser techniques. Your safety is of utmost importance, and you shouldn't sell yourself short by trusting a "laser spa" with your care. Quality medical care doesn't have to be more expensive than the sometimes substandard care offered by such "laser spas"--look over our prices, listed below on this page.

Dr. Kavali is proud to offer the most trusted and proven lasers for hair removal and believes that her patients should be well-educated before undergoing any medical procedure:

What you should know about Laser Hair Removal:

DID YOU KNOW THAT MEDICAL EXPERIENCE AND PERSONAL CARE ARE IMPORTANT QUALITIES IN PERFORMING LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

First, find out who will actually be performing your laser treatment. Does a physician or staff member administer your treatment? There should be a physician supervising to ensure the highest quality of care and to provide care should any side effects arise.

It is important to meet the doctor who will be responsible for your care. Make sure that the doctor is involved in your treatment. Are you treated with respect? Do the doctor and staff address all of your concerns in a thorough, non-hurried, non-condescending manner? During your initial laser hair removal consultation, you should request assurance that your doctor will handle any side effects, should they occur.

IS THE DOCTOR A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR LASER MEDICINE AND SURGERY (ASLMS)?

Dr. Kavali is a member in good standing of this prestigous society. Physicians who are members of this society have made lasers an integral part of their medical practice and ongoing medical education.

DID YOU KNOW THAT NOT ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO PROVIDE LASER HAIR REMOVAL ARE PHYSICIANS?

In Georgia, literally ANYONE can provide laser treatments! And we do mean anyone--even someone with little or no medical training or background. It is up to you to find out who will be providing your laser hair removal treatment. Ask for credentials and find out what type of training the individual who will be administering your treatment has received. Watch out for laser hair removal centers that offer treatment without direct medical supervision because, ultimately, laser hair removal is a medical procedure that can have side effects. At Kavali Plastic Surgery, your laser hair removal will be performed by Dr. Kavali or one of her Physician Assistants (PAs) or one of her nurses (RNs or LPNs).

DID YOU KNOW THAT SPECIFIC LASERS TREAT SPECIFIC SKIN TYPES?

Find out which laser or light source a particular laser hair removal clinic uses. Is this laser the best one for your specific hair type (light, dark, fine, coarse, etc.) and your skin color? What type of cooling does the device use to protect your skin and reduce your discomfort? Some laser hair removal centers with only one laser may try to use that laser on all patients, even though it may not be the best choice for you.

There are currently five different types of lasers in use for laser hair removal: ruby, alexandrite, diode and Nd:YAG. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is also used for hair removal, but this is technically not a true laser treatment.

Dr. Kavali uses the Cynosure Apogee Elite, which is actually two lasers (alexandrite and nd:YAG laser) in one machine. For some finer hair types and colors, Dr. Kavali may also choose to use Syneron's elos technology, which combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with laser light.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES WITH LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

No doctor can predict the exact outcome a patient will experience with laser hair removal. That includes pre-determining how many treatments will be required. As with most reputable medical practices, the well-established and highly regarded laser hair removal practices do not guarantee results. They will work with you on an individual basis and get the best results possible for you.

DID YOU KNOW THAT DISCOUNT LASER HAIR REMOVAL PRICES MAY NOT BE YOUR BEST SOLUTION?

Shop around. Make sure that you are getting a combination of personalized treatment, medical expertise and affordable laser hair removal prices. The location you choose should offer laser treatments on a regular basis, and should not be part of a "discount network" where the lasers or staff are rotated to that location once in a while. This is important because the equipment that is owned and maintained by a medical office is more likely to work properly and function safely so you get the best possible results. In addition, in a medical office, the continuity of your care is more likely to be consistent.

Watch out for centers with heavily-discounted laser hair removal prices and guarantees (you get what you pay for) or centers that promise unrealistic results. Remember, medicine is not an exact science and you should be skeptical of those who make specific and explicit guarantees that may not be met. Overconfidence in expected success from the person offering the laser treatments may be more "sales" than medical reality.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Dr. Kavali lists her package pricing for laser hair removal because she knows that it takes multiple sessions to get the type of results that will make you happy. She offers 8-session packages for laser hair removal because her experience has shown that 5 sessions, which is what most "laser centers" offer, are just not enough to get you the results you want. Be sure you're comparing apples-to-apples when you're shopping for prices, since we are quoting 8-session packages and most other places are quoting 5-session packages (or fewer!).
