Unsightly body hair on the legs, face, chest, arms, underarms, bikini line, and other areas can be a source of embarrassment for both men and women. Many people spend great amounts of time and money trying to get rid of unwanted hair using razors, tweezers, depilatories, and other tools, which only produce temporary results. Fortunately, laser hair removal is a convenient and effective way to obtain hair-free and silky-smooth skin that lasts. Our practice is proud to offer state-of-the-art laser hair removal treatment to patients from Glastonbury, Hartford, and nearby areas who wish to permanently eliminate unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body. Our advanced laser hair removal system allows Dr. Beam to customize treatment for the specific needs and comfort of the patient and to conduct the safest and most effective procedure possible.

During the laser hair removal process, carefully controlled laser light is focused on hair follicles in targeted regions of the body where hair is to be removed. Laser energy is then converted to heat, which destroys the hair follicle, resulting in smooth skin. Laser hair removal is more effective than electrolysis because it can target and treat multiple hair follicles at the same time. Laser hair removal treatment can last up to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients can combine laser hair removal with microdermabrasion or other skin treatments offered at our Glastonbury and Hartford-area practice to complete the ultimate makeover. Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment for laser hair removal with Dr. Harold Beam.

We pioneered the use of lasers for hair removal – and then devoted industry-leading R&D efforts in developing pulsed light for hair removal, producing results clinically-proven* to be as good as or better than single-application “gold standard” lasers.

The StarLux® 500 has the highest power of any laser and pulsed light platform, delivering effective energy in larger spot sizes for the fastest effective treatments on larger areas.

Specifically-filtered pulsed light destroys cells that grow new hair, while contact cooling ensures patient comfort and safety.
