What You Should Know About Laser Hair Removal

laser hair removalSummer’s finally here, and that means more time spent out in the sun in those tiny shorts and those itsy-bitsy bikini.  While your wardrobe may have received the memo about those warmer months, your body isn’t quite ready to reveal itself to the hot sunshine, thanks to more than a few errant body hairs.

Worried that you’ll spend yet another summer trying to disguise or cover up your body hair?  Make this summer the season you finally do something about it – and at the Beaux Arts Institute in Lanham, Maryland (also serving the greater Baltimore and Washington, DC areas) we can help make it happen.

Dr. Nia Banks and her team of dedicated aestheticians are committed to providing you the best hair removal experience ever.  We use two different types of laser hair removal treatments to ensure that all of our clients can experience this skin-smoothing, virtually pain-free procedure.   While previous laser hair removal procedures required that patients have lighter skin, our two lasers (alexandrite and NdYag) are safe to use on all skin types.

In order to achieve your best results, it’s important to schedule an entire treatment session with Dr. Nia Banks at Beaux Arts Institute.  Laser hair removal isn’t completed after just one treatment; rather, you need to go for several rounds of treatments before you see the permanent hair reduction you’re going for. What’s more, each treatment area will have an influence on how many sessions you’ll need to undergo.  For example, if you’re undergoing treatment for your back, it’s going to take more sessions than treating your underarms.

While today’s generation of lasers is extremely effective and gentle on the skin, patients still report feeling a mild discomfort when undergoing treatment.  The discomfort has been compared to a mild snapping of an elastic band against the skin.  Clients should expect to see a mild redness in the treatment area; be sure to use sun protection on the treated areas to prevent burning.

No matter what body area you’d like to treat, it’s time to discover how laser hair removal can get you ready for some summer fun.  Schedule a consultation with Dr. Nia Banks at the Beaux Arts Institute in Lanham, Maryland today.
