Non-Surgical Treatment In New York City:
Laser Hair Removal
Hirsutism or unwanted hair growth can be embarrassing, and can result from a variety of biological factors such as age, hormonal changes and heredity. Depilatory creams, waxing, plucking and shaving provide only temporary relief and often make the problem worse. There is a safe, permanent way to remove unwanted hair, and put an end to the embarrassment.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal offers patients a safe, fast, and effective alternative for dealing with unwanted hair. The Lasers emit a specialized light that passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin (colour) in the hair follicle, damaging the follicle and removing the hair.
Laser hair removal is safe to use on all body parts, including:
- The face
- Upper and Lower Back
- Underarms
- Bikini line
- Legs
- Arms
- Shoulders
The goal of Laser Hair Removal is to permanently eliminate unwanted hair growth by targeting and destroying the follicles in the specified regions.
Procedure length
Unlike other processes, the laser beam treats many hairs at once making treatments of large areas practical, 3 to 8 treatments at approximately 5 to 8 week intervals is recommended.
Recovery
There may be a slight irritation surrounding the follicles, but in the majority of cases, subsides after a few minutes.
The Result
Hair may appear to be re-growing in the treated areas in the weeks following, but this is actually the body expelling dead follicles. Any hairs that do not fall out were unaffected by the procedure because they were not in a growth cycle. This is why additional treatments are recommended over several weeks to obtain the desired results.
What other patients want
Many patients combine Laser Hair Removal with Thermage or Photorejuvenation to achieve an overall enhancement of their appearance.
