New Technique in Laser Hair Removal Developed to Eliminate Ethnic Skin Type Burns

Dr. Jay Kulkin, MD, internationally recognized laser expert and Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (highest designation), has successfully developed a laser technique making laser hair removal burns in ethnic skin types a thing of the past. For years, individuals with ethnic skin types have suffered needlessly with embarrassing, unwanted hair, as reports of burns (as seen on Oprah) have caused them to avoid laser procedures. Dr. Kulkin, Founder and Medical Director of WIFH, has developed a unique technique using the Cynosure Elite Yag Laser and has utilized it exclusively for over 30,000 procedures on all body types without one burn.
