Dealing with hair removal can be tedious and annoying over time. If you’re constantly turning towards options like waxing or shaving, you may be wondering what other options are available. Laser hair removal has become a sought-after solution for those looking to achieve long-lasting smooth, hair-free skin. If you're considering this treatment, you likely have questions about what to expect. Dr. Sonya Campbell Johnson at Dermatology Associates in Indianapolis, Batesville, and Tipton, IN, can explain laser hair removal and answer any questions you may have.
A: Laser hair removal targets hair follicles with concentrated light energy. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. It's a safe and effective method for long-term hair reduction. Your dermatologist in Indianapolis, Batesville, and Tipton, IN, can walk you through laser hair removal and what you can expect.
A: Most people describe laser hair removal as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. However, the sensation varies depending on the individual's pain tolerance and the treatment area. You can talk to your dermatologist about numbing creams or cooling devices to minimize discomfort.
A: The number of sessions required depends on various factors, including hair color, skin type, and the treatment area. Typically, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed to target hair in different growth cycles and achieve desired results. Laser hair removal isn’t entirely permanent, and you may need maintenance sessions to retain your desired results.
