Delaware Valley Dermatology Group's Dr. Michael Saruk offers Wilmington, DE, and the surrounding area, laser hair removal. It's a permanent form of hair removal because it destroys the hair follicles. However, before you decide if it's right for you, make sure you understand the benefits.

Permanent

Laser hair removal is permanent. It works by emitting light energy into the melanin of the hair. Once the hair absorbs it, it's converted into heat energy, which damages the hair follicle. This part is responsible for actually growing the hair. When it's damaged, it can no longer grow hair.

Although it's classified as a permanent method of hair removal, in some cases, the hair grows back. However, this is usually after quite some time. 

Quick Procedure 

While it takes several treatments with our Wilmington, DE, physician to see the full results of laser hair removal, the sessions vary in length based on the amount of hair and its coarseness. In general, though, one laser hair removal session could last anywhere between a few minutes to 30 minutes. Depending on the color of the hair and the amount of it, you may need several sessions to see full results. 

However, imagine how much time you'll save as opposed to having to shave regularly. It may take you 15 minutes to shave your legs, and you may need to do it a few times a week to maintain it. With laser hair removal, you may be able to get rid of the hair in less time than you would spend shaving during a one to two-week span. 

Boost Your Confidence 

If you're embarrassed by that hair on the top of your lip or on your back, stop worrying about waxing and shaving. Instead, get a permanent hair removal option and get your confidence back. You'll never have to worry about getting into a bathing suit again and having a hairy back because this procedure can remove that burden from you.

Causes Minimal Discomfort

Laser hair removal causes minimal pain, especially when you compare it to waxing or accidentally cutting yourself with a razor. Patients often describe the pain as if they were being stung by the snapping of a rubber band. 

Afterwards, you may be slightly sore and irritated, but this passes. The same thing may happen if you're not using the right shave gel, only it'll happen repeatedly. It only occurs with laser hair removal right after you have the procedure. 

You may get laser hair removal from Dr. Saruk of Delaware Valley Dermatology Group in Wilmington, DE if you want long-lasting hair removal. It's also quick and causes minimal discomfort.
