What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment designed to eradicate unwanted hair from the face and body. It delivers a focused beam of light, which is absorbed by melanin in hair follicles, to weaken and destroy hair at its root.

Popular treatment areas include underarms, bikini line, arms, legs, back, chest, abdomen, upper lip, and chin. [Related: Laser Hair Before and Afters]

No. 1 Hair Removal in Washington DC

Are you looking for the No.1 hair removal in DC?

Under the leadership of nationally and internationally renowned dermatologist Dr. Eliot Battle, Cultura’s seasoned team of dermatology professionals will carefully assess your skin’s genetic makeup, hair texture, and location and size of treatment area to develop a customized treatment plan for you. It will include recommended laser type (Diode, Alexandrite, Nd:YAG, etc.), number of sessions, and frequency of treatment.

How is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

During laser hair removal, a hand-held device is used to cover the targeted areas with light-based energy. As the energy is converted to heat, patients may note a snapping sensation. However, discomfort is minimal and can be significantly alleviated by the device’s cooling-tip.

The procedure typically takes 10-60 minutes. After it’s complete, ice packs, anti-inflammatory cream, or a cold compress may be applied to the skin, and patients are free to resume all normal activities.

What’s the Number of Recommended Sessions for Hair Removal?

Because the laser can only act on follicles in the active phase of the growth cycle, a series of 6-8 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, is recommended.

Results are cumulative and, within 1-3 weeks of the first treatment, patients will note shedding of destroyed follicles and finer, sparser regrowth.
