What is the advantage of laser hair removal?
Unwanted hair on the body can be costly and time-consuming to keep under control. Many patients find tweezing, waxing, and shaving to take much too much time. Instead, men and women often find laser hair removal to be a wonderful alternative.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is an advanced method of eliminating unwanted hair on areas such as the:
- Underarms
- Chest
- Back
- Legs
- Bikini area
- Face
Dr. Mary Lupo is a Board-certified dermatologist who can work with patients to decide if they can benefit from laser hair removal. This treatment is available to patients of all hair colors and skin colors, unlike in the past when certain patients were deemed better candidates. The process of laser therapy takes time for full hair removal. One appointment will reduce the amount of hair in the area, while several can result in full treatment.
How many appointments will I need?
The number of treatment sessions for patients will vary, dependent on their hair’s response to treatment and the thickness of the hair. Thicker hair will require more treatments. Treatments are spaced out over several weeks to ensure the laser treats the hair in the active growth phase. Other hair that is not in this phase will not be affected. By treating every few weeks, our doctor can target all the hair in the cycle of growth. Patients seeking reduction of hair may just need one or two treatments.
