Laser Hair Removal in Marstons Mills, MA
What Is Laser Hair Removal
If shaving or waxing has become a regular chore, laser hair removal may offer longer-lasting reduction of unwanted hair. At Contemporary Dermatology in Marstons Mills, MA, our team treats areas such as the face, underarms, arms, legs, back and bikini area. We use the GentleMax Pro by Candela® to tailor treatment to the skin and hair being treated.
For Cape Cod patients, a series of laser treatments may mean less frequent shaving, fewer recurring waxing appointments and smoother-feeling skin. Treatment can be planned for a small area or several larger areas. Because hair grows in cycles, results develop over multiple visits rather than after one appointment.
Am I a Good Candidate?
A consultation at our Marstons Mills office is the best way to assess your hair color, skin tone, medical history and treatment goals. Darker hair often responds best because the laser targets pigment in the hair. Patients with a range of skin tones may be candidates when the laser settings are chosen appropriately. Very light, gray or white hair may respond less well.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your provider will explain how to prepare the area, which may include shaving before treatment and avoiding tanning. During the session, the laser delivers energy to the hair follicle while the GentleMax Pro cooling feature helps protect the skin and improve comfort. The appointment length depends on the size of the area. Mild redness or swelling can occur afterward; follow your provider’s guidance on sun protection and activity.
