Laser Hair Removal in Maryland

Laser Hair Removal Questions & Answers

How does laser hair removal work?
An infrared laser targets hair follicles specifically. The hair follicles are heated up and destroyed. A computer-guided scanning system ensures that your skin is rapidly and evenly treated.

What skin types can be treated with laser hair removal?
All skin types can be treated with the laser - skin type 1, fair skin through skin type VI, dark skin.

Is hair color a factor in laser hair removal?
Yes. Because the laser targets melanin, blonde and white hair will not be eliminated with laser treatments.

Can tanned skin be treated with laser hair removal?
Tanned skin can also be treated. But, for best results, tanning, including self-tanners, should be discontinued three weeks prior to treatment.

How many laser hair removal treatments will be needed?
This will vary with skin type and which part of the body is being treated. Generally, an area will need to be treated 5 to 8 times at intervals of 6 to 8 weeks. There are three phases of hair growth. Only hair in the active growth is successfully treated each session. Maintenance treatments are generally needed three times per year.

What happens during treatment?
The area to be treated will be prepped with a cooling gel, then scanned with laser light. A system of cooling your skin will be used to remove heat as it leaves the hair follicles. This will ensure comfort during your session.

What happens after treatment?
Some redness and swelling at the treated site may appear for a few hours after treatment. Post-treatment instructions will be provided.

Are there any complications from this procedure?
Temporary pigmentation changes are possible but seldom occur. Some blistering may occur at the site which should be treated with a topical antibiotic.
