Ready to experience smoother, hair-free skin?
My hair colorist saw me blow drying my hair with my arms above my head at my last appointment and she approached me to take a closer look. She said that she was looking at my underarms and asked me if I had laser hair removal. I told her about my experience and I then realized how completely satisfied I was with my results!
– Laura Hunnewell, satisfied Derick Dermatology Laser Hair Removal patient
You can get safe and effective laser hair removal for the following areas:
Using our state-of-the-art Candela GentleMax laser treatments, we target your hair follicles to reduce hair growth over time. Laser hair removal can significantly diminish hair growth, especially when your hairs are in their active growth phase (anagen phase). Typically, each session can reduce hair growth by about 10% to 25%, so we often recommend multiple treatments to achieve the best results.
It’s easy to get started. You can self-schedule a laser hair removal consultation that will take place at one of our 19 Chicagoland locations. Our friendly medical providers will work with you to create a custom treatment plan that’s just right for you.
