Laser Hair Removal
Many men and women have areas of unwanted hair growth. Fortunately, these areas can be treated with EVO Light advanced laser technologies to provide long-term hair reduction. Commonly treated areas at Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery include the face, back, underarms, arms, legs, and bikini area.
Recognized as one of the top cosmetic surgeons in the Mobile-Pensacola metro area, Dr. James Koehler is a board certified cosmetic surgeon serving patients from Gulfport to Gulf Shores and beyond. In addition to laser hair removal (LHR), we offer a wide range of nonsurgical procedures for both men and women.
Are You a Candidate?
The best candidates for LHR are men or women with coarse dark hair with fair skin. People with finer, lighter colored hair may not respond as well to treatment since the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. During your consultation, we will be able to advise you on if you are an acceptable candidate.

What to Expect
Treatments can take from just a few minutes to up to an hour depending on the size of the area being treated. During treatment, patients may experience a slight stinging or discomfort that is quickly relieved by the cryogenic spray used by the machine to cool the skin.
Patients can experience some redness of the skin and swelling around the hair follicles after treatment, which usually subsides after a few hours. You can resume your regular activities immediately after your treatment.
Risks and Complications
Patients can rarely experience temporary or permanent pigment changes in the skin. It is best to have laser hair removal done when the areas are not tanned, since the laser’s energy is absorbed by areas of pigmentation.
Your New Look
You should see results after just one treatment. Upon completion of the treatment series, you will be glad to say goodbye to plucking, shaving and waxing.
