Laser Hair Removal FAQs

Laser hair removal is a popular procedure that can help eliminate unwanted, excess hair without the hassle of many other hair removal techniques.

Is everyone a candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is not for everyone. For the best possible results, the skin around the hair must be lighter than the hair that is being removed. This means that dark skinned individuals may not be good candidates for laser hair removal.

What areas can be treated?

Virtually any area of the body can be treated, except the area around the eyes. The most common areas that are treated include the legs, back, underarms, chin, arms, and bikini line.

How long will the hair removal last?

Laser hair removal results in permanent hair reduction. However, to achieve the most successful and lasting results, patients will need to complete a series of four to six treatments spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart.

Will laser hair removal be painful?

Most patients find that there is little to no discomfort associated with the laser hair removal procedure. After treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately.

If you are tired of shaving, bleaching, and waxing to get rid of unwanted hair, consult with a dermatologist about laser hair removal. This effective, simple skin care procedure provides long-lasting, hassle-free results.
