What Can I Expect During My Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Treatments take place in Dr. DuPont’s Chevy Chase office. To perform your laser hair removal Washington DC laser treatment expert, Dr. Mary Dupont will use a small handpiece to deliver an intense but gentle burst of energy onto targeted areas of the skin. Therapeutic heat then safely and effectively removes unwanted hair.
How Long Does a Laser Hair Removal Treatment Take?
A treatment can take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the treatment area and the condition being treated. Both legs can often be treated in as few as 30 minutes, as can an average-sized man’s back.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
Some patients may feel slight discomfort, which has been compared to snapping a rubber band against the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by our patented Dynamic Cooling Device. Be sure and talk this over with Dr. DuPont.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?
Our Washington DC laser hair removal patients require multiple treatment sessions for best results. That’s because hair grows in three stages:
- Anagen (the growth stage). Hair is thickest and darkest, so laser treatments are most effective.
- Catagen (the transitional stage). The hair begins to loosen from its follicle.
- Telogen (the shedding stage). The hair falls out to make room for new growth.
The hairs on your body are not always at the same stage, so you’ll need to undergo a few treatments, an average of six weeks apart, to catch them all in the growth stage.
How Do I Prepare for My Laser Hair Removal Treatments & What Can I Expect After?
For about six weeks prior to treatment, you should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing. On the day of your treatment, skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed of any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products. Apply sunblock (SPF 30 or above) before your treatment.
Additional Reading
Do not expose the treatment area to sunlight or tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus, a prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. A cool compress or gel pack may be applied for additional comfort after your treatment. Any redness or swelling should resolve in a few hours. After your laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). In the first few days after treatment, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner may advise additional precautions.
