Question: I have dark hair that grows downward from my lower back. I am female, 24 years old, and this is very noticeable in a bikini. I would love to have this hair removed permanently using laser hair removal. Will this affect the tattoo that I have there?
Answer: First no laser hair removal is totally permanent. On your back after 4 or 5 sessions the hair will be very thin and need only perhaps once a year treatments. As for the tattoo it will probably be unaffected by the hair laser and should not change at all.

Question:
I do not do well with pain. Do you offer anesthesia for hair removal in cases where patients have little threshold for pain?
Answer:
We give everyone an oral valium, and with our experience placing the local anesthesia (which is done gently with a special machine) there is almost no pain. Certainly no need for either I.V. or general anesthesia.
