Tis the season for laser hair removal in Northern Virginia! Many patients take advantage of the colder seasons to indulge in this popular treatment, but how permanent are the results, really?
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses lasers that targets the pigment in your hair to destroy the hair at the base.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
In truth, while results from your laser treatment will likely last anywhere from two to six years, you will eventually require a follow-up treatment to maintain your results.
However, many patients consider their results to be mostly permanent as even the hair that eventually pops up is usually less abundant and much finer than before.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
If pain is a concern for you be sure to mention this during your treatment consultation as your provider should have tools such as numbing creams to make sure your session is as comfortable as possible.
Generally, most patients describe treatments as feeling like a rubbing band snapping against the skin over and over.

Some of the most popular areas where laser hair removal treatments are being applied include the following:
- Legs

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
It is important that you seek the services of a board certified provider who has extensive experience working with these intricate lasers for your treatments.
If applied by a professional, laser hair removal is perfectly safe.
