About lasers
Lasers are a broad category of devices that can do many, many things to treat various conditions on the skin. Technically, a laser is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It only applies to a particular subset of devices that emit energy/light of one wavelength. Depending on the wavelength of light that is emitted by a particular laser, it can target different aspects of the skin like pigment, blood vessels and redness, sun damage, or hair.
At Steele Dermatology we have chosen lasers that can:
do things for your skin that we can’t do with other treatments or devices
do things more safely, more effectively, or fewer side effects than with other means
We can do amazing things with lasers. They are very powerful devices and we have taken the time to develop our expertise and skill with them. When we recommend a laser treatment, you can be certain that we know how to use that laser most effectively and safely in your skin, and that we know how to use that device to get the very best result for you. Schedule an appointment with Steele Dermatology online or give us a call at (770) 464-6000.

The areas to be treated should be clean-shaven, but not waxed, tweezed, or exposed to other forms of hair removal. After a cool gel is applied to the area, lasers are used to target unwanted hair. A quick, warm snapping sensation will be present and immediately cooled by the cooling tip of the device.
The skin may be pink with slight irritation and follicles may look bumpy after treatment. This usually resolves in a few hours after treatment. You should avoid the use of medicated skincare products, perfumes, deodorants, and body lotions for 12 hours after treatment. Shortly after, you will notice less hair growth in the area.
Treatments are repeated every 4-12 weeks, depending on the area of the body being treated. Treatment is complete in 6-12 treatments. Maintenance treatments may be necessary after several months, especially for hair that grows in response to hormonal signaling.
