Laser Hair Removal in Chicago - What is the Laser Hair Removal Process?

The never-ending cycle of shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams leaves many individuals frustrated about their unwanted hair. However, there is a solution that can help offer long-lasting results for many: laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a technologically advanced method that allows an individual to remove unwanted hair from their back, chest, face, legs, bikini line, and other body areas.

Getting started with laser hair removal in Chicago with Derick Dermatology begins with a consultation appointment with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Amy Derick. Dr. Derick can examine the area(s) of your body that you want to treat, and can offer recommendations for the best way to treat the hair growth. If laser hair removal is right for you, your first appointment will be made.

When you arrive for your appointment, Dr. Derick will choose the appropriate laser that will give the best results for your hair and skin type. It is essential to use the right type of laser in order to have the best results and minimize complications.

The laser is then used to touch and treat each hair follicle. Depending on the size and thickness of the area being treated, your appointment can be anywhere from thirty minutes to a few hours. Overall, laser hair removal is a comfortable procedure for most patients, although there can be minimal pain or discomfort in some cases.

Patients may schedule continued treatments until all the hair in the area has been treated regardless of its growth cycle. When the final session is completed, patients are encouraged to visit once or twice a year for maintenance sessions in order to maintain the results.
