Illinois Cosmetic Hair Removal Treatments

Cosmetic hair removal can be done at a specialty clinic, doctor's office or medical spa. After determining whether the growth is caused by a medical condition, a proper course of treatment can be devised.

When Should Cosmetic Hair Removal Be Sought?

Technically, most hair removal is cosmetic, as unwanted growth rarely causes a health problem. There are, however, medical reasons for unwanted growth. If the growth is new or unexplained, or if other symptoms occur along with it, then a doctor should be consulted before treatment. If there has already been a diagnosis and treatment has been authorized, or if the growth is normal, then treatment can be sought.

How to Get Started

The first step for any patient seeking cosmetic hair removal should be a consultation with a medical spa, clinic or doctor. The esthetician or doctor can help the patient determine which course of treatment would be best, depending on the amount of growth and the location. In general, dense growth or large areas, such as the back, legs or chest are best treated with light-based equipment: IPL or laser. If the area is small, such as the upper lip or the chin or the growth is sparse, then electrolysis can offer a permanent solution.
