Laser Hair Removal in Queens, NY
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal is an excellent procedure designed to target and reduce unwanted hair growth. This service uses Candela Lasers, renowned for their efficiency and safety. The process involves a laser emitting a concentrated beam of light absorbed by the hair’s pigment. The light energy is then converted into heat, damaging the hair follicles and significantly reducing the ability for future hair growth.
This treatment is designed for individuals seeking a solution to reduce unwanted hair across different body parts. Laser Hair Removal in Queens, NY, is particularly effective for those seeking a more permanent solution compared to shaving, waxing, or plucking. Clients typically observe noticeable results after several sessions, with hair growth becoming finer and less frequent. The durability of these outcomes can vary, but many enjoy substantial hair reduction for an extended period. To maintain these effects, occasional follow-up treatments may be recommended.

FAQs
Hair removal with lasers is effective on all skin types, but the best results are often seen on individuals with a contrast between their hair and skin color, such as dark hair and light skin. However, with advancements in laser technology, treatments like the GentleMax Pro® can effectively target and remove hair on a broader variety of skin tones and hair colors.
The number of sessions required for optimal results typically ranges from three to eight, depending on the area being treated, hair density, color, and your hair’s growth cycle. Sessions are spaced over several weeks to target hair in different growth phases effectively.
Clients often describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Discomfort levels vary depending on the individual’s pain threshold, but many modern laser systems, including the GentleLase Pro®, are equipped with cooling features to minimize discomfort during treatment.
Yes, laser hair removal can safely be performed on virtually any body part with unwanted hair. This includes common areas like the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back. The versatility of lasers such as the GentleYag Pro® and GentleMax Pro® allows for precise treatment of different body parts.
To prepare, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least six weeks before treatment. Also, refrain from plucking, waxing, or electrolysis for six weeks before your session, as these methods remove the hair root the laser targets. Shaving the area before your appointment is recommended, as it leaves the hair shaft intact.
Post-treatment, you may notice redness and swelling similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms typically subside within a few hours to a few days. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and protect the treated area with sunscreen. Shedding of the treated hair can occur over the following days or weeks. Following your clinician’s aftercare advice is crucial for the best results and skin health.
