Hair Removal
At Cary Laser Aesthetics, Dr. Polavaram uses the Cynosure Icon MaxR laser for hair removal. This state-of-the-art laser can permanently reduce hair nearly anywhere. The most common treatment areas include Legs and arms, Armpits, Bikini line, Chest and back, and Face.
One of the things that really sets the Cynosure Icon MaxR laser apart from all the others in its category is its flexibility — it can safely treat all skin types and treat anything from small to large areas. Dr. Polavaram controls the laser device at all times during your laser hair removal. She targets hair follicles, and the Cynosure Icon MaxR sends a beam of laser light below the skin. This destroys the pigment inside and permanently damages the follicle to prevent it from growing new hairs.
