Laser Hair Removal

Waxing, shaving, and many other methods of removing excess or unwanted hair are almost always time-consuming and painful. While these methods can be done at home and provide a cost-effective way to manage hair, they only provide a temporary solution. However, with laser hair removal at Dr. Tim Heffernan's Seattle office, patients can have their excess or unwanted hair comfortably and quickly removed from their back, arms, face, legs, and bikini line.

Laser hair removal does away with coarse stubble that can cause hair follicles to become inflamed, allowing for near-permanent results. While the laser hair removal treatment is usually done over the course of several visits, many patients can notice up to an 80 percent reduction in hair after their first treatment visit. Patients also typically achieve smoother, softer, healthier skin following the first treatment. Using a special laser, Dr. Heffernan can achieve optimal results in about five treatment appointments, each of which are set four to six weeks apart.

The laser hair removal treatment can be effective for people of all skin types. Both men and women of all ages can be good candidates for the treatment. If you are wondering if laser hair removal will be an effective treatment for you, contact our Seattle office today to schedule a consultation.
