Laser Hair Removal Upper East Side NYC
Dealing with unwanted hair can be painful, ineffective and repetitive. Now with laser hair removal an effective, permanent reduction of unwanted hair can be achieved quickly and economically. Our practice uses the Laserscope Lyra i YAG laser by Iridex. This is the only machine that is FDA cleared for ALL skin types. We use topical anesthetic so there is little if any discomfort.
How effective is laser hair removal?
Our lasers have been specifically chosen because they offer the fastest results, with the least amount of discomfort. All of our systems are FDA approved.
Why do I need multiple sessions?
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions in order to achieve desired clearance. This is based primarily on biological factors – the cycle of hair growth. We recommend a protocol of six sessions, once every 6-8 weeks in order to achieve maximal clearance in the treated area. Some patients require additional sessions based on their individual hair biology.
Does the treatment hurt?
People are often amazed at how little our laser hair removal systems hurt compared to their previous experiences with lasers. At times clients will experience a sensation often described as a “hot pinch” or “snapping” feeling. The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. Our lasers use a chill tip that helps to cool the dermis and neutralize any discomfort. For your convenience, we offer numbing creams and post laser topicals to reduce any possible irritation.
Is treatment with laser safe?
Laser hair removal is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in laser hair removal technology for all skin colors. There are no long term health hazards from laser energies used in our systems. They are FDA approved.
What kind of results can I expect from each laser hair removal treatment?
Each laser hair removal treatment will result in hair growth reduction. Additionally, hair will grow progressively slower, lighter, and finer with each treatment. It takes more than one treatment to affect all the follicles growing in an area. Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after six treatments, but individual results may vary depending on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored hair may require more treatments than darker colored hair. At the end of your protocol, the desired outcome is 90% clearance in the treated area.
What happens after each Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Temporary pinkness of the skin lasts a very short time, and most people return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The treated area will “shed” some hair over the next 3-4 weeks, and you may experience a period of hairlessness in the area while you wait for your next treatment.
Laser Vein Removal
Now there is a safe and noninvasive way to reduce broken capillaries and unattractive veins. After applying a topical anesthetic the laser oblates all unsightly spider and varicose veins up to 5mm in diameter, thereby eliminating them.
