Laser Hair Removal in Basking Ridge, NJ
What Is Laser Hair Removal
For people in Basking Ridge, NJ who are tired of repeatedly shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers a way to reduce unwanted hair over a series of visits. Contemporary Dermatology lists this treatment among the aesthetic services at its Basking Ridge office. Common treatment areas include the face, underarms, legs, arms, back and bikini area, subject to an individual consultation.
Laser hair removal can provide longer-lasting hair reduction than manual methods and may simplify your regular grooming routine. It can be tailored to small facial areas or larger body areas. Because results depend on the hair growth cycle and individual characteristics, your provider will explain the likely number of treatments and the outcome you can reasonably expect.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Suitability depends on hair color and thickness, skin tone, medical history and recent sun exposure. Darker hair often responds best because laser energy is drawn to pigment in the hair. Patients with many skin tones may be candidates, but the specific laser, settings and expected results should be discussed with a qualified provider.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your provider will review preparation and aftercare instructions before treatment. Laser energy is directed at growing hair follicles in the chosen area; the device and comfort measures used should be explained at your visit. Appointments vary in length depending on the size of the area. Mild redness or swelling can occur, and protecting treated skin from the sun is important.
