How the laser works
Full Arms laser hair removal treats the entire limb from shoulder down to the wrist in one session. The laser targets pigment in the hair follicle to reduce future hair growth without breaking the skin. Treating the whole arm at once avoids a visible boundary between treated and untreated areas and gives a more uniform outcome.
Results are shaped by the biology of hair growth: the laser affects follicles containing pigment at the right growth stage. Since not all hairs are in the same stage at once, multiple sessions are typically required to treat successive growth cycles. Individual response varies with follicle pigment and growth patterns, so a treatment plan is tailored to your needs.
What to expect in appointment
A Full Arms appointment covers both the upper arm and forearm in a single visit and is scheduled for 20 MINUTES. During treatment a trained clinician directs the laser over the entire limb, taking care to maintain even coverage so there’s no abrupt line where treatment stopped and untreated skin begins.
Healthydermis Oakton’s location near I-66, Route 123 and the Orange Line is convenient for commuters seeking quick lunchtime or after-work bookings. We understand local schedules and offer flexible appointment times to accommodate clients coming from Vienna, Fairfax, Reston, Tysons and surrounding areas.
Before and after care
We provide specific pre-visit guidance during booking so you know what to avoid and how to prepare. Because the laser works on follicle pigment, follow-up instructions focus on protecting treated skin and monitoring how hair sheds over subsequent weeks. If you have recent skin treatments or concerns, discuss them with our clinician before your appointment.
Full Arms treatment is offered at a set price of $375 and each session is 20 MINUTES long. Bringing a list of current skincare products and any recent sun exposure history helps us tailor your visit. If you need flexible scheduling for busy commuter or family routines, let us know when you book.
