Laser Hair Removal in Plymouth, MA
What Is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal gives Plymouth, MA patients an option for reducing unwanted facial or body hair over time. At Contemporary Dermatology’s Pinehills office, we use the GentleMax Pro by Candela® to treat common areas including the underarms, legs, arms, back, face and bikini area. A personalized plan can help you rely less on routine shaving or waxing.
Treatments can be tailored to areas large or small, from the upper lip to the legs. Many patients choose laser hair removal because the reduction can last much longer than the smoothness achieved through shaving. The amount of reduction differs from person to person, and a series of visits is generally needed.
Am I a Good Candidate?
At your Plymouth consultation, your provider will consider hair color and thickness, skin tone, medical history and sun exposure before recommending treatment. Darker hair often responds more readily to laser energy. GentleMax Pro offers options for a range of skin tones, but the right settings and expected results must be assessed individually; very light hair may be harder to treat.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before your visit, our team will provide instructions for preparing the treatment area. During treatment, laser energy targets the pigment associated with growing hair follicles, while the system’s cooling feature helps make the procedure more comfortable. Session length varies by area. Temporary redness or swelling is possible, and you should follow the aftercare and sun-protection instructions your provider gives you.
