Removal of unwanted body hair is one of the top concerns of hundreds of Americans. It is not surprising then that hair removal is a very popular procedure in the U.S. But undergoing regular tweezing, waxing, and shaving of body hair can get really taxing. This is why hair removal using laser light is often seen as the smarter, more efficient choice. Laser removal can be undertaken in almost all areas with unnecessary body hair from the face and arms to the legs and bikini line. It is not a procedure merely for women, as some men would prefer to eliminate the pesky ingrown beard and the discoloration that goes with shaving. With the use of specialized laser, such light is beamed into and absorbed by the hair follicles. The unwanted hair is destroyed in the process. Since the procedure targets the melanin pigment present in the hair follicles, laser removal is ideal for individuals with darker hair and a greater contrast between hair color and skin pigment. Why is it a better procedure? Laser hair removal is fast and precise: every removal session averages just one to two hours by precisely targeting unwanted hair areas and leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. More importantly, permanent hair loss is achieved after 3-5 sessions. This means goodbye to waxing and frequent trips to medspa clinics. For patients around the areas of Washington D.C. and Maryland, Dr. Jennifer Parker Porter is a preferred surgeon to perform laser removal procedures. Not only is she a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Porter is also a trained laser technician with adept knowledge on how patients with different hair and skin pigmentation levels respond to laser procedures. She has an impressive track record of treating patients of different ethnic backgrounds and skin types. For Dr. Porter, MD, FACS, it is a key objective to perform the laser procedure safely as well as successfully. Learn more about this procedure by meeting and talking personally with Dr. Porter.
