Laser Hair Removal in Hyannis, MA
What Is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal may help reduce unwanted hair on the face and body with results that last longer than shaving. For patients visiting Contemporary Dermatology in Hyannis, MA, a consultation can explore whether a series of laser treatments suits their skin, hair and goals. Areas commonly treated with laser technology include the face, underarms, arms, legs, back and bikini area.
A laser hair removal plan may help reduce the time spent shaving or waxing and can be tailored to the treatment area. Results develop over multiple visits because hair follicles do not all grow at the same time. Your provider can explain the likely course and whether another approach may be a better fit.
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. Very light hair may respond less well.
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.
