Laser hair removal at Dermatology Arts in Bellevue for all skin tones and types

Laser Hair Removal

Tired of shaving and waxing all the time? Laser hair removal is a great way to reduce hair for the long term.

At Dermatology Arts, we have two laser hair removal devices. The Diolaze XL by InMode and the Cocoon Laser Hair Removal System. Together, we have both 810 nm and 1060 nm lasers, giving us the ability to safely treat all skin tones and colors.

We treat all areas, and you can buy packages for laser hair removal treatment for anything from just the lip or chin to the full body. Furthermore, in order to make sure you achieve the results you want, we offer laser hair removal as a year long subscription, so you can get as many treatments as you need.

Call 425-753-2918 to set up a consultation with our Master Aestheticians.

In addition, laser hair removal is not simply a convenient and long-term alternative to shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal can also help if you are prone to ingrown hairs or treat hidradenitis suppurativa. Meet with one of our medical providers if you have hidradenitis suppurativa and see if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal.
