Who has time for the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams, only to have to deal with regrowth a short time later?

You can reach out online or by phone to schedule your visit. 

How does laser hair removal work?

To understand the laser hair removal process, let's review how hair normally grows. Millions of hair follicles cover your body, each of which acts as a tiny channel into the deeper layers of your skin. A hair root lies at the base of each follicle, and works to produce hair cells that stack on top of each other to form a strand of hair. Eventually, this strand moves through the surface of your skin. 

Your hair grows in cycles, including an active growth phase as well as phases of resting and shedding. Laser hair removal works by generating heat that damages the hair follicle and prevents regrowth. Treatments are most effective during the active growth phase, which is why multiple treatments are necessary to achieve the best possible results. 

At Dermal Diva Medspa, laser hair removal is performed with V-IPL technology, which safely and effectively reduces unwanted hair on the face and body. The treatment is quick, and most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pulse on the skin. Most appointments take less than an hour, depending on the area being treated.

What areas can laser hair removal treat?

Laser hair removal can be performed on many areas of the body. Small areas include the lip, chin, and underarms. Medium areas include the bikini area, arms, and shoulders. Large areas include the full legs and the back. During a consultation, your provider will help determine the treatment area and create a treatment plan based on hair and skin types and the patient's goals.

How many laser hair removal treatments are needed?

Most patients need a series of 6 to 10 treatments, spaced about 4 to 10 weeks apart, for the best results. The timing between treatments depends on the area being treated and the hair growth cycle. With each treatment, hair becomes more sparse and grows back more slowly. Many patients eventually only need occasional maintenance treatments.

Is laser hair removal expensive?

At first glance, laser hair removal can look like an expensive option. But when you take a long-term view, you begin to see the value of laser hair removal. All those razors, wax strips, depilatory creams, or trips to the waxing salon aren't free. Over time, these expenses add up.

There's also the time spent managing regrowth, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal delivers soft, smooth skin that lasts, making it an excellent return on your investment.
