Avoid shaving this winter!

If you get tired of shaving in winter, you aren’t alone. Many people experience increased dryness, redness and sensitive skin in the winter months which can make shaving even more unpleasant. Right now is the perfect time to proactively tackle this problem and avoid the need to shave this winter! By beginning laser hair removal treatments now, you can protect yourself from all the unpleasantness that goes with shaving in the cold weather.

Laser hair removal works best when hair follicles are in their mature stage; however, at any given time, your hair is in various stages of growth. That is why multiple treatments are required. With each treatment, the hair is reduced and becomes less noticeable. The number of treatments necessary differ based on your hair color, skin tone, hair type and body area, but best results are typically achieved with around six treatments.

If you want to set your skin up to have an extra happy winter, you need to start treatments soon. At Radiant Dermatology, Dr. Amanda Friedrichs and staff provide comprehensive consultations and are ready to answer all of your questions. Call us today at (815) 981-4990 to schedule an appointment.
