Reasons to Visit Warthan Dermatology Center

There are many reasons to visit a Dermatology office. Some reasons may be obvious and others you may be surprised to know that your doctor can assist you with such needs. If you have unwanted scarring, your doctor can recommend products and procedures that aren't available everywhere. If you have sun damage, or environmental damage you want to erase, visit a Dermatologist. If you have too much hair, the doctor can perform Laser Hair Removal (usually purchased in packages for best results). Not enough hair? Your doctor carries lines that aren't available over the counter, such as Rogaine, Latisse, and RevitaLash, RevitaBrow, and RevitaHair. Plus, your doctor can monitor how you are doing on these products and adjust your regimen as needed. If you have unwanted tattoos, your doctor can help to erase it with minimal damage and control any pigmentation issues. If you have dilated blood vessels, your doctor can minimize these with special procedures, and if you have pigmentation issues, a Dermatologist is the most knowledgeable in correcting these.

If you're in the area and need help with any of these issues, Dr. Mandy L. Warthan, Dr. Molly M. Warthan, Lindsay McClauley P.A.-C MSPAS, and our Aesthetician Ann Marie Albracht would love to help you!

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a technique that uses beams of highly concentrated light to penetrate the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicles and destroys the hair within the follicle. Next to Botox injections, laser hair removal is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the U.S.

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm, and bikini line as well as other areas where unsightly hair is a problem. Benefits of laser hair removal include precision, speed, and predictability.  Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour. Ninety percent of patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to five sessions.

If this is a treatment option you are considering, we recommend scheduling a consultation to see if this treatment will be successful for you based on the opinion of a trained and certified professional. At Warthan Dermatology, we want the best results for you!
