West Dermatology was founded in 1962 by Dr. J. Robert West, in Redlands, California. As a young, eager physician, his main goal was to provide his patients with quality dermatological care in a professional, caring environment. Although several years have passed and the practice has grown, this goal continues to be the aim of West Dermatology.
What started as a single physician’s office has developed into one of the nation’s largest dermatology practices with over 30 offices in California, Arizona, Nevada, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Idaho, and a staff of more than 25 physicians.
Like Dr. West envisioned, West Dermatology continues to offer the finest dermatological care available to each patient that places confidence in its medical professionals. A staff of well-educated, qualified physicians and their team, work with you to find a treatment plan to correct your specific condition and ease your health concerns.
Whether you are worried about an irregular mole or you would like to smooth and soften the tone and texture of your skin, West Dermatology provides you with a full array of general, surgical and aesthetic dermatology procedures to remedy your problems. Using the most current products and procedures to treat your conditions, the physicians and staff of West Dermatology look forward to helping you in everyway possible.
Laser Hair Removal
Safely and Gently Remove Unwanted Hair
Removing unwanted or unsightly body hair can be a tedious, painstaking and often expensive task. Worst of all the process is normally only temporary, requiring you to repeat the painful treatment quite often. That doesn’t have to be the case anymore! Now West Dermatology offers a gentle, non-invasive solution for long-term hair removal from virtually any part of your face or body.
Say Goodbye To Razors, Waxing, Tweezers and Painful Electrolysis
Imagine never again having to pluck, shave, wax or depend on painful electrolysis to get rid of those unsightly hairs! Now West Dermatology can make that dream a reality using laser hair removal technology.
The procedure is very gentle and most patients feel only mild discomfort. First, a cooling gel is applied to the specified treatment area. Then using highly controlled flashes of light in carefully timed bursts we target the unwanted hair. The resulting heat from the light is absorbed by the hair pigment and damages or destroys the follicle just below the surface of your skin without having any effect on the surrounding healthy tissue.
Our patients experience little discomfort during the procedure so no local anesthetic or pain medication is necessary. At most, you may feel a slight sting during the procedure and a mild reddening of the treated area afterward. However, because your comfort and safety are our primary concern, we offer a topical anesthetic should you be treating any sensitive areas.
The procedure is one of the fastest, easiest and most convenient methods to reduce unwanted hair. In fact, your procedure can be completed in our office during your lunchtime, enabling you to continue your day with no interruption to your normal activity.
Remove A Little, Remove A Lot
Traditional hair removal methods such as tweezing and electrolysis can be agonizing to endure and take much of your time because you can treat only one hair follicle at a time. However, our hair removal procedure is designed to effectively impair the growth of hundreds of unwanted hair follicles simultaneously so large areas of hair on the legs, back and chest can be quickly treated in just minutes. In addition, because our system is so technologically advanced, we can easily remove hair from sensitive areas such as the upper lip area, ears, nose, underarms and bikini lines with precision.
The number of sessions you’ll need to reduce unwanted hair will depend on a variety of individual factors and can be discussed privately during your initial consultation.
A Safe, Proven Technology For ALL Skin Types
Unlike conventional lasers that are used to permanently remove hair, our system can safely and effectively be used by all skin types. Its powerful software enables us to configure system parameters in order to individualize your treatment so as to accommodate your specific skin color, hair color and hair density.
A Working Partnership
Our experienced and professional staff is dedicated to making you comfortable throughout this procedure. Call us today to privately discuss your options and find out more about this innovative long-term hair reduction solution.
