LASER HAIR REMOVAL OVERVIEW

Dr. Timothy Mountcastle, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Northern Virginia, offers his patients Palomar Icon Aesthetic (PIA) and Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) laser hair removal system that uses pulses of laser light to target and eradicate unwanted hair.

The laser travels through the skin to hit the hair follicle, permanently abolishing it. Patients will generally need more than one session, especially for larger areas of the body. PIA and BBL laser hair removal treatments at our Mountcastle Medical Spa & Laser Center in Ashburn, VA can painlessly remove up to 80-100% of the hair in a particular area. Women commonly request this for their legs, bikini area, underarms, and face. Men ask for laser hair removal on the back, chest, legs, arms, and face.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL PROCEDURE

During laser hair removal, the surgeon will place a laser vacuum directly on top of the skin where the hair resides to draw the skin into the hand held piece of equipment. The device stretches and pulls the skin thin so the energy source can target the melanin in the hair. During this process, the follicles absorb the heat the laser beam emits, which damages the follicle and makes it difficult for the hair to grow back. Most patients are able to achieve results in a 30-45 minute session that occurs once every 3-4 weeks over the course of several months.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Throughout the procedure, patients will feel slight pressure as the device is pulling up the skin. However, the laser beam itself only feels like a light sting. Most devices are made with a cooling sequence that occurs between the laser pulses, which helps ease discomfort and reduce the chance of unwanted side effects. There are multiple laser hair removal vacuum devices on the market today that come in different sizes depending on the size of the area being treated. The laser technology will depend on what works best with your hair texture and skin type.
