Is laser hair removal safe?
Maria’s Story
Names have been changed for privacy.
Maria was a beautiful 24 year old who had one embarrasing problem. Facial hair. This wasn’t supposed to happen. It seemed so unfair . Maria had tried everything from bleaching to waxing to electrolysis. But the hair was still there. The situation was getting hopeless. She was getting married in a year and did not want to deal with this problem any more. She had even asked her family doctor who had run a few blood tests and told her she was fine. She was not fine!
Maria decided it was time to take action. She had always wondered about laser hair removal. She asked a few of her friends. All she heard was scary stories. One of her friends had been burnt. Another lost colour on her skin. This was concerning for Maria who with her portugese background could not risk any treatment that caused pigment change. But Maria was determined. She was on a mission. She knew that a few friends had had success at Dr Takhar's clinic so she decided to investigate.
After doing some research on the internet, and the local paper she decided to visit Dr Takhar's Cosmetic Clinic. "I knew Dr Takhar was also a family doctor, so I thought I may as well hear the truth from her" thought Maria. Once at the clinic she immediately felt comfortable. She had a consultation with Dr Takhar and was pleased to learn that all wasn’t lost. She was told the truth about Laser Hair Removal. She was right that it wasn’t always a good option especially for people of darker skin. However she was pleased to learn that it was completely safe if done with the right equipment. "I felt I was in safe hands. Not only was Dr. Takhar a medical doctor, but she only had doctors or nurses do the treatments at her clinic"
Eventually Maria had a series of laser hair treatments and got rid of her pesky problem. "The amazing thing was that it was almost painless and there was no downtime". She was always given realistic expectations and was always treated professionally and with respect. Maria eventually had laser hair removal on other parts of her body and was always satisfied with the results. She was pleased that she had decided to put her trust in a medical clinic for her treatments.
Maria's story is not unique. Many people suffer from skin concerns and have fears based on lack of knowledge. Unfortunately it is not always easy to find the right advice.This is because while one treatment may work for one person, it may be completely different for the next person. Dr Takhar's cosmetic clinic prides itself in giving everyone individual attention. "We only have doctors and nurses at our clinic" says Dr Takhar. "And we will always tell you exactly what to expect".
Whether its skin damage, excessive hair, wrinkles, acne or a weight problem, Dr Takhar's cosmetic clinic has a solution for you. For further information and a complimentary consultation phone 519-653-4490.
