Laser hair removal is one of the most popular laser procedures Westport Dermatology provides. The excel HR offers the latest in laser hair removal technology. Fast, pain-free, and efficacious, removing unwanted body hair has never been easier. Laser technology provides long-lasting hair removal on any area of the body. Our laser uses high-energy pulses of light to remove unwanted hair from the face, back, legs, bikini line and other areas without damaging nearby tissue.
