Frederick area patients ask, “How long does laser hair removal treatment last?”

Patients who are tired of shaving, waxing, and tweezing unwanted hair from the face and body are often interested in learning about new, advanced ways of improving their appearance. Frederick area men and women can visit Dr. Ron Prussick at Washington Dermatology Center and learn about the advantages of laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a revolutionary way to achieve hairless skin. Many patients want to know how long laser hair removal treatment will last. The good news is that with a series of sessions to target all the hair follicles in the treatment area, the results are permanent. The laser damages the hair follicles so they do not produce hair, allowing the skin to be hair-free.

Treatments are relatively quick and easy. Patients will relax in our treatment chair while we apply a special numbing cream to the skin to ensure optimum comfort. Then we will use the laser at the appropriate setting to treat the hair follicles in the area. Some patients say they experience a “snapping” sensation as the light pulses on the skin, but this is reported as tolerable with the numbing cream. Patients will then return to their day without any downtime and will be able to enjoy less hair in the treatment area over the course of time.

Laser hair removal is safe and the devices used at the Washington Dermatology Center are cleared for use by the Food and Drug Administration. Results are usually permanent. We also have trained providers who are administering treatment. We want to ensure our patients have access to the quality dermatological care they deserve.
