Kalia Dermatology offers the best laser hair removal technology on the market, the Palomar Vectus.
The Palomar Vectus Laser for hair removal is considered the fastest and most effective of it’s kind.
Our Aesthetic Nurses have extensive experience administering this treatment.
The area must be cleanly shaved within 24 hours prior to the treatment. Electric razors are not recommended as the hair is typically left too long.
The treatment area needs to be free from makeup, lotion, deodorant and sun cream- inform the practitioner before treatment starts if you require wipes.
Fake tanning products cannot be used 3-4 weeks prior to treatment; the area should be thoroughly exfoliated to remove all residues.
Do not tweeze, wax or pluck the area being treated between or prior to sessions. Only shave the area.
The area cannot be treated if it has been exposed to sun within 4 weeks prior to treatment.
The heat from the laser stays in your skin for 24 hours so no gym, saunas or hot showers. If you do, you run the risk of creating a warm environment for bacteria.
We offer complimentary cosmetic consultations to help you look your very best.

We typically see up to a 90% reduction of hair regrowth after a series of 5 treatments. A permanent alternative compared to the temporary methods of shaving and waxing. Eliminate stubble and ingrown hairs. You may choose to undergo laser hair removal treatments because you don’t want to devote another minute to tweezing, waxing, shaving, or bleaching unwanted hair, but the procedure comes with a few secondary benefits, as well. It can leave your skin looking noticeably smoother and silkier, and it may also give you a more uniform complexion at the treatment site.
Virtually any body area can be treated with minimal discomfort for men and women. Laser hair removal is just as effective for small areas as it is for larger areas. Most patients seek laser hair removal treatment to get rid of hair from the upper lip, chin, face, neck, bikini area, legs, chest, back, and shoulders.
The laser technology targets pigmentation in the hair follicle which destroys the follicle in the anagen growth phase.
The Palomar Vectus laser has the only FDA-approved Skintel™ Melanin Reader™, which helps ensure a safe and effective setting for any skin type. Clinicians at Kalia will first measure your skin with the Skintel Reader to help ensure the optimal results. They then will hold your skin gently taut as they systematically pass the laser over the area, spot-by-spot, as it emits quick pulses.
The procedure can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or longer, depending on the size of the area you’re treating.
Kalia patients typically see up to a 90% reduction in hair growth after a series of five laser hair removal treatments. Multiple treatments are required because hair grows in cycles, and the laser only affects active-growth hair follicles; dormant hair follicles are unaffected. After completing a full treatment cycle, patients generally stay hair-free for years. When hair does regrow, it tends to be lighter and sparser.

Safe, effective, and virtually painless, laser hair removal is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic procedures in the United States today.
The advanced hair removal technology works by delivering laser generated heat through short-pulse durations directly into active-growth hair follicles.
The laser generated heat is absorbed by the pigment of the follicle, which puts it out of action so it can no longer produce hair. Kalia physicians use Palomar Vectus laser technology, which is the fastest and most effective hair removal technology available.
