About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is just as is sounds: a medical procedure that uses a laser to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which restrains future hair growth. Common treatment locations include legs, armpits, upper lip, chin and bikini line, however it's possible to treat unwanted hair in nearly any area.

Laser removal in Long Island is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair. Although laser hair removal effectively slows the hair growth, it doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal. Typically, it will take several laser treatments to secure an extended hair-free period of time. Periodic maintenance treatments may be needed as well, just to keep the hair away.

What To Expect

Before your Long Island laser hair removal, you'll be fitted with special goggles to protect your eyes from the laser beam. A topical anesthetic is usually applied to your skin to reduce any discomfort during treatment. Don't apply any topical anesthetic on your own, unless specific instructions are given.

During the Procedure

The doctor will press a hand-held laser instrument to your skin. Depending on the type of laser, a cooling device on the tip of the instrument or a cool gel may be used to protect your skin.

When the doctor activates the laser, the laser beam will pass through your skin to the tiny follicles where hair growth originates. The intense heat from the laser beam damages the hair follicles, which inhibits hair growth. You may feel a stinging sensation. Treating a small area, such as the upper lip, may take only a few minutes. Treating a larger area, such as the back, may take several hours.

Laser Hair Removal Results

It is important to have realistic expectations when it comes to the results of laser hair removal because the results can vary greatly from person to person. Multiple treatments can prolong the duration of hair loss, but hair re-growth is almost always possible. For the best results, you may need four to six treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Additional periodic maintenance treatments (once every six to 12 months) may also be needed.
