Smooth Skin, Minimal Maintenance—Expert Care You Can Trust

At Griffin Dermatology, we offer professional, dermatologist delivered laser hair removal using the powerful Cynosure Cynergy™ dual-wavelength laser. Whether you’re tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with irritation, laser hair removal provides a safe and long-lasting solution for unwanted hair on the face and limited body areas.

Advanced Technology: Cynosure Cynergy™

Griffin Dermatology uses the Cynosure Cynergy™ system, which combines two laser wavelengths—Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) and Nd:YAG—to provide effective, targeted hair removal across a range of skin types.

Why Cynergy Stands Out:

  • Targets hair follicles at varying depths
  • Built-in cooling for enhanced comfort
  • Suitable for lighter and darker skin tones
  • Minimizes risk of irritation or hyperpigmentation

Areas We Treat

We focus on precise, high-demand zones where laser treatment is most effective and commonly requested:

  • Face (upper lip, chin, jawline)
  • Underarms
  • Chest or lower trunk (limited areas)

Multiple sessions are typically required to target hair in different growth cycles.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target pigment in the hair shaft. The light energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future growth—without affecting the surrounding skin.

What You Can Expect:

  • Most patients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
  • Each treatment is quick—often under 30 minutes depending on the area
  • You’ll see gradual reduction in growth, with finer and fewer hairs after each session
  • Maintenance treatments may be needed for long-term results

Who's a Good Candidate?

Laser hair removal works best on:

  • Patients with dark hair and light to medium skin
  • Those looking to reduce ingrown hairs, razor burn, or irritation
  • People committed to avoiding sun exposure during treatment cycles

Dr. Griffin will assess your hair type, skin tone, and medical history to determine your ideal treatment protocol.
