What you can expect from laser hair removal treatment near Rockville

Laser hair removal treatment near Rockville from Ronald B. Prussick, MD, FRCPC

For most people, their vision of ideal skin may be free of conditions like tiny nicks and razor bumps, as well as stubble. Beautiful skin, for many, looks silky soft, smooth, not hidden beneath unwanted hair. Proof of this mindset can be seen in the way we incessantly groom when it comes to hair. Most adults spend time every day shaving, plucking, or waxing unwanted hair. The advances that have been made in dermatology now allow you to save time and enjoy smoother skin.

Early innovation brought us electrolysis as a form of permanent hair reduction. This procedure, however, tended to be quite uncomfortable, as hair follicles were treated individually. Replaced with laser technology, electrolysis is rarely used today. Laser hair removal treatment, such as is provided in our offices near Rockville, is effective and far more comfortable than electrolysis, and even some temporary hair removal treatments, like waxing. By undergoing laser hair reduction treatments, men and women discover their best skin, feeling little more than slight “snapping” sensations during each laser treatment.

Laser hair reduction is powered by sophisticated technology, but is straightforward and uncomplicated. Typically, no anesthetic is needed to complete treatments, which are tailored to your skin type and specific needs by your skilled provider. In sensitive areas, we may apply a topical anesthetic for improved comfort. Dr. Prussick’s office can treat a variety of areas both large and small, leaving you with softer, hair-free skin in the desired area.

Treatments in our Frederick or Rockville offices take an average of twenty to thirty minutes per session, depending on the area being treated. During your consultation, we will provide an estimate of the number of treatments needed to produce the desired results. For lasting smoothness, it is important to complete the entire round of treatments, so that all hair is addressed.

Following laser hair reduction treatment, it is possible to return to normal activities right away, but the skin must be protected from the sun. Every few weeks, subsequent sessions can take place in our state-of-the-art office, leading to lasting results that you love.

Dr. Prussick and our experienced skin care professionals are committed to giving patients an exceptional experience. We incorporate the latest laser technology with proven results, ensuring that our patients receive the highest standard of care. Contact Washington Dermatology Center to discover your best skin.
