You can feel it in the air, warm summer days are just around the corner.  That means days of wearing shorts, swimsuits, and sleeveless tops will be here before you know it.  Unfortunately, for many, that also means the return of the daily chore of shaving.  If you’re dreading adding hair removal to your to-do list, maybe it’s time to consider laser hair removal in Seattle as a long-lasting solution for smooth, hair-free skin.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal in Seattle uses a laser device to target the pigment in the hair follicles with concentrated light energy, damaging the follicles and preventing future growth.  Your hair grows in cycles and the laser is only able to treat the follicles in the active growth phase.  For this reason, you generally need multiple treatments to ensure that as many hair follicles as possible have been targeted.

Save Time With Laser Hair Removal in Seattle

You know that traditional methods of hair removal like shaving and waxing take time, so does laser hair removal save you time with multiple appointments?  Yes, it can!  Appointment times can range from just a few minutes for a small area to around an hour for a large area like the legs or back.  And once your hair removal is complete, you’ll be set with smooth, hair-free skin.  No more shaving or waxing!  Some patients find that they need a maintenance appointment about once a year.

Is Permanent Hair Removal Painful?

If the idea of laser is concerning, we understand.  However, if you’ve ever had a wax appointment, this will be mild in comparison.  Most patients describe their treatment as mild tingling or snapping.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Maybe… The best way to know is to schedule a consultation at Miller Family Dermatology to learn more.  In many cases, the effectiveness of laser hair removal is dependent on the contrast between your hair and skin.  This means that patients with light hair and light skin or dark hair and dark skin may not be able to achieve their desired results.
