Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a procedure by which a patient’s undesirable hair is eliminated or reduced.
How does it work?

The procedure works by slowing the growing capacity of hair follicles that are in the active growth cycle at time of treatment. Since hairs will enter their growth cycle at different times, several treatments are necessary to disable all of the follicles in a given area.

At the Dermatology & Clinical Skin Care Center, we employ several technologies for these treatments. The medical staff will determine which method is best suited for your skin type during an office consultation.

In our Bethesda office, we offer the GentleLASE laser by Candela, which is most effective in treating patients with light colored skin.

In Germantown we offer the GentleYAG laser by Candela. This laser is effective in hair removal for patients with medium to dark colored skin.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

A topical anesthetic may be applied prior to treatment to minimize discomfort. Patients describe the treatment pulses as a heating sensation on the skin. You may experience some redness and swelling following the treatment that normally resolves in a short amount of time.
How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments you may require will depend upon the area you wish to have treated, the hair density and your hair’s growth cycle. This cycle is influenced by many factors: age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication and metabolism. Some hair is more resilient and therefore more resistant to treatment.

At the Dermatology & Clinical Skin Care Center, we provide treatments in packages based upon the patient’s needs. Once the treatment regimen is complete, it may be necessary to come in for maintenance treatments, if there is regrowth.
