Today I had my appointment at Academic Dermatology for my laser hair removal consultation. It was scheduled for 2:15 so I got there at 2 because I knew I would have to fill out some paperwork. I wasn't brought back to a room until 2:47... yeah, 32 minutes after my appointment. The nurse was with me asking about medications and medical history until 2:53 and Dr. Tope arrived to the room at 3:15pm. The consultation was quite short. He does the lasering himself using a Nd:Yag Laser. He examined the area that I would like lasered and informed me that the feeling of the laser is much different than waxing- more stingy, multiple times. They offer topical anesthetic at no additional charge~ you just have to make a nurse appointment 30 minutes before the laser treatment appointment. They use a combination they call BLT which is Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine. The laser treatment for a modified brazilian would schedule for 45 minutes for the first treatment and likely be shorter for subsequent visits. He said that it usually takes over 5 treatments and each treatment is $300.
I am not 100% convinced that this is the place for me. The long wait put me off a little bit but the choice of getting an anesthetic would be nice.
