About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure to remove unwanted hair. It is a long-lasting solution for people who are tired of temporary and often painful hair removal methods like plucking, shaving, waxing, sugaring, depilatories, epilators and electrolysis.

After the prescribed number of treatments, most people will be 90% hair-free for months to years. When hair does regrow, there will be less hair, and it will be lighter and finer.

RW Dermatology uses the Icon Laser Device, the latest laser hair removal technology available. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Rachel White for safe, professional, and compassionate care.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is laser hair removal?

Advances in laser technology allow dermatologists to remove unwanted hair safely and effectively. Laser hair removal requires a series of treatments because hair grows in cycles. For success, the treated hair must be in the active growth phase. Multiple treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are necessary. Annual maintenance treatments are recommended.

Who is a good candidate?

Laser hair removal works best for people with dark hair and light skin because laser targets the pigment in the hair. However, newer lasers can safely treat all skin tones and lighter hair colors. Certain medications can cause adverse side effects, so tell your dermatologist about all medicines and medical history.

What are the results?

After treatment your skin will be sensitive and must be protected from the sun. You may have some temporary redness and swelling, but there is no downtime. You may notice temporary pigmentation changes. The RW Dermatology team will provide specific post-treatment instructions.
