Address unwanted hair removal with laser treatments like Vectus
If you are bothered by unwanted hair on the face and body, speak to the team at ShadeTree Dermatology about the solutions available for permanent hair reduction and removal. Using a device known as “Vectus,” laser light energy can be used to damage hair follicles for good to ensure hair-free skin. But there’s a lot to know about it. Below are a few commonly asked questions we hear at our clinic about this procedure.
What is laser hair removal, exactly?
Laser hair removal is described as a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair. It targets and eliminates hair follicles using intense light beams, or lasers, from the Vectus device. It’s like zapping away your shaving and waxing routines and enjoying hair-free skin once and for all!
Does Vectus hair removal treatment hurt?
Many patients who undergo laser hair removal describe the sensation as a quick snap like a rubber band hitting your skin. It is mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable for most. Treatment is fast and can be done using topical anesthetics for a more pleasurable experience and not a negative one. We focus on ensuring our patients are comfortable from start to finish when having laser hair removal performed.
Can I get laser hair removal performed anywhere on my body?
Pretty much! Some of the more common areas include the legs, underarms, bikini line, back, and face. If there is a spot you’re wondering about, consult with Dr. Vanessa Johnson and her team, as they are there to help.
How many treatment sessions do I require to get the best results?
Most patients who visit us need between six and eight sessions completed for optimal results, spaced about a month or six weeks apart. Hair grows in different cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. When you get regular treatments, all hair will eventually be treated.
Is laser hair removal considered a permanent option?
Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results but is not 100% permanent. Over time, some hair may regrow, but it’s usually finer and lighter than before. Periodic touch-ups can keep things smooth and sleek.
Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes, it is safe when it is performed by trained professionals like Dr. Johnson using FDA-approved equipment like the Vectus device. However, it is incredibly important that you closely follow all pre- and post-care instructions to ensure your skin stays healthy and the results remain.
