There are countless providers of laser hair...
There are countless providers of laser hair removal services for women. However, very few of them offer the services of an actual dermatologist, or even a skilled/experienced aesthetician. Dr. Porter of Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery and her staff are the oasis in the desert. Dr. Porter and her staff's attention to detail and my needs as a patient have resulted in virtually 100% hair reduction, baby smooth skin, no ingrown hairs, no new scarring, and almost completely faded old scarring. I could not be happier with the results. After investing in only 6 treatments to get rid of a what was probably a certified beard (one must have a good sense of humor to survive such shame) and just a few recommended facial cleanser and retinol products, my face now makes me proud! Tears of sorrow, seriously, have become tears of joy.
Some background: I am a woman of color (medium-dark) in my early 30s. For well over 10 years, I battled with female facial hair growth. Makeup covered the hyperpigmentation, but it did nothing to hide actual the coarse, dark hairs or the ingrown hairs that caused painful bumps and scarring. While my physicians could not find any particular medical cause, the visible "symptoms" were downright traumatizing and caused me to become a social recluse. I never wanted anyone to see my face without makeup, and touching my face was a proper violation! In my opinion, finding the right dermatologist is key when you're spending your hard earned cash and you're goal is, quite literally, to put your best face forward. You don't want someone who cannot handle a laser (dangerous in the wrong hands) and who only wants to make money off of having you return for unnecessary treatments. You also want a provider who is not going to aggressively push products on you. Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery really is a great office and I am so glad that I found them. I relied on a great online review of these stealthy experts instead of a loud radio ad from nearby competitors. I am so very happy with the results and wish every woman struggling with similar embarrassing facial hair would go see Dr. Porter for help.

Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
7201 Wisconsin Ave., Bethesda, Maryland
Dr. Porter is not only experienced and knowledgeable, she consistently exercises patience, attentiveness and compassion. She doesn't recommend what you do not need and always helps you find the best product for your needs and budget. She is exactly what one would expect of a dermatologist - expertise and attention. Her staff reflects the same attributes of great service and care.
