Laser Hair Removal in McLean, VA
Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Laser Hair Removal is a non-surgical procedure using advanced laser technology to remove unwanted hair from various body parts. At DermaGlow MedSpa, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro™ system, which combines Alexandrite and Nd lasers to target hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. The laser emits a concentrated light absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which generates heat that destroys the hair follicle and prevents future growth. This procedure can treat areas such as the face, arms, underarms, chest, back, bikini line, and legs, making it a versatile option for achieving smooth skin.
Laser Hair Removal in McLean, VA, suits men and women who wish to reduce hair growth in specific areas. The treatment is effective on various skin types and works best on darker hair. Most clients see noticeable results after just a few sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after six to eight treatments. Results are long-lasting, with many clients experiencing permanent hair reduction. Book an appointment at DermaGlow MedSpa in McLean, VA, for a personalized treatment plan!

Faqs
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser Hair Removal uses a concentrated light beam in targeting the pigment in the hair follicle. The pigment absorbs the laser’s energy, which heats and destroys the follicle, preventing hair growth.
Is Laser Hair Removal painful?
Patients describe the feeling as a slight tingling or snap, similar to a rubber band flicking the skin. The Candela GentleMax Pro™ system has a cooling mechanism to enhance comfort during treatment.
How many sessions are needed for optimal results?
Typically, six to eight sessions are needed to achieve the best results. This varies depending on the area being treated and individual hair growth patterns.
What areas can be treated?
This procedure can be used on different areas, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, back, chest, and bikini line.
Are the results permanent?
Most clients have a significant reduction in hair growth, with results lasting for several months or longer. Some hair may eventually regrow but is often finer and lighter.
Who is a good candidate?
Laser Hair Removal is effective for people having darker hair and lighter skin. Technological advances, like the Candela GentleMax Pro™, have improved results for a broader range of skin types.
