How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal works over a series of sessions. This is because hair grows in cycles, and only the hairs in their active phase respond to the laser at any given time. As the laser sends light into the follicle, the pigment absorbs it and turns it to heat, and that heat reduces future growth. The targeted result is long-term reduction, not permanent removal, and some regrowth over the years is normal.
Dual-Wavelength Lasers to Treat All Skin Types
We use two wavelengths, an 810 nm diode and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG, matched to your skin type.
Many lasers only work well on lighter skin. Ours pairs an 810 nm diode with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG, the wavelength built for deeper tones, so we treat the full range of skin types. We Fitzpatrick-type every client and set the laser to that number, then build your plan around your skin and hair.
Areas Laser Hair Removal Can Treat
Laser works best on dark hair, and because our dual-wavelength laser handles every skin tone, your color isn't the barrier your hair is. Underarms, back, and upper lip are what we treat most.

Laser Hair Removal Consultation
Available at our Ballenger Creek clinic on Buckeystown Pike in Frederick. We start with a consultation to Fitzpatrick-type your skin, look at your hair, review your history, and map your plan. Prefer to start the same day? That is usually an option after your consult.

Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Most people feel a quick snap of heat with each pulse. We start conservative and adjust the settings to your comfort as we go. Sessions run from a few minutes to about an hour, by area.
4
Aftercare
Avoid sun and tanning, and follow the simple post-treatment care we give you. Redness usually settles within a day. We're here if you have any questions.
5
Your Series & Maintenance
Because the laser only reaches active-phase hairs, results build over a series, usually about eight weeks apart. Sessions are booked one at a time, since some hair and areas need more than others, and we plan maintenance as needed.

FAQs About Laser Hair Removal
How does laser hair removal work?
Light from the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and turned to heat, which reduces the follicle's ability to grow new hair. It works over several sessions because only active-phase hairs respond each time.
Does laser hair removal work on darker skin tones?
Yes. We treat all skin types. Our laser pairs an 810 nm diode with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG, the wavelength best suited to deeper skin tones, and we set it to your Fitzpatrick skin type. The bigger factor is hair color: laser works best on dark hair, and very light, gray, or red hair sees limited results.
Is laser hair removal permanent? How long does it last?
It gives long-term reduction, not permanent removal. Most people keep smooth results with occasional maintenance, and some regrowth over the years is normal.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies with your hair and the area, so we book sessions one at a time, usually about eight weeks apart, and map your plan at your consultation.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people describe a quick snap of heat with each pulse. We start conservative and adjust the settings to keep you comfortable as we go. Any discomfort is brief.
Is laser hair removal safe?
Laser hair removal has a long track record when it is performed by trained clinicians who match the settings to your skin. We Fitzpatrick-type every client, set the laser to your skin type, and keep a board-certified physician on-site. Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, like temporary redness.
Can I get laser hair removal while pregnant?
We wait until after pregnancy. There is not enough safety data to treat during pregnancy, and pregnancy hormones can change hair growth anyway.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
Cost depends on the area and how many sessions you need. Sessions are booked individually, and we will walk you through pricing at your consultation.
