This presentation discusses Laser Hair Removal at Laserklinic and answers some of the most frequently asked questions.

1. LaserKlinic Cosmetic Laser Centers

2. 
Laser treatment for unwanted hair is a noninvasive approach to permanent reduction and
long-term hair removal. Laser Hair Removal
treatment is specially designed to safely
eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the
body. Because the laser hair removal affects hair
follicles only when they are in the growth phase,
more than one Laser Hair Removal treatment
may be necessary to disable hair follicles that
subsequently enter the growth phase. During
your Laser Hair Removal consultation, you
will be advised as to the approximate number
of hair removal treatments necessary
for optimum results.

3. FDA approved for permanent hair reduction
 You experience no downtime
 Less pain and discomfort compared to other hair
removal treatment methods
 Large areas can be treated quickly and
effectively
 Safely treats all skin types

Now men and women alike are making unwanted
facial and body hair a thing of the past—with Laser
Hair Removal no more painful waxing, electrolysis
or razors! Laser Hair Removal delivers 21st century
technology for treatment of this distressing
problem.

4.  The
Laser Hair Removal system emits nearinfrared laser light that is absorbed by the
pigment located in the hair follicle. The New
York hair removal laser is pulsed, or turned
on, for only a fraction of a second. The
duration of each pulse is just long enough to
damage the follicle, leading to effective and
permanent hair removal.

5.  The
Laser Hair Removal hand piece cools and
soothes as it glides along your skin. When the
pulse of light is delivered from the laser hair
remover, some patients experience a mild
pinching or stinging sensation. No local
anesthesia or pain medication is typically
required; however, some patients may prefer
to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive
areas are treated.

6. 
Following Laser Hair Removal treatment, you can
return to your normal activities right away, but
the treated area may appear a bit red and
swollen. The use of sunscreen is recommended
on any treated areas exposed to the sun. In
addition, we may recommend that you use a
specially formulated skin care product line or
prescribe a skin care regimen especially
formulated for your skin type. Three to seven
days after your hair removal treatment you may
experience what seems to be regrowth of hair,
but actually, most of these hairs are being shed
as result of your laser hair remover treatment
and are not regrowing. Between treatments you
should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is ok to
shave.

7.  Although
patients experience few side
effects with Laser Hair Removal, the most
commonly noticed are slight reddening and
local swelling of the skin, similar to a
sunburn. These effects typically last for
several hours or less. In rare instances after
hair removal, blistering may occur.

8.  Laser
Hair Removal can remove hair from all
parts of the body including the face, legs,
arms, underarms, and back. Laser hair
remover treatment can also effectively treat
sensitive areas like the chest, nipples, and
bikini line.

9. 
Most areas require 3-6 treatments. However, the
number of Laser Hair Removal treatments
required for optimal long-term benefits depends
on multiple factors – hair thickness, the area
treated and your hair’s growth cycle.
Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at
the same time and actually go through three
distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting.
Laser Hair Removal works by disabling the hair
that is principally in the active growth phase at
the time of treatment. Since other hairs will
enter this active growth phase at different
times, additional New York hair
removal treatments may be necessary to disable
all of the hair follicles in a given area.

10.  Laser
Hair Removal safely and effectively
treats all skin types (Fitzpatrick Skin Types IVI) as well as tanned skin. For darker skin
types and people with tans, fluences are
generally lower and pulse widths are
generally longer to prevent damage to the
epidermis. Using the appropriate treatment
parameters, however, people with all skin
types can benefit from Laser Hair Removal.
We use a broad range of lasers for hair
removal that have proven effectiveness for
all skin types and colors.

11.  Shaving,
waxing, and depilatory creams are
all temporary methods that must be
repeated on a frequent basis and none of
those methods can successfully reduce in
grown hairs. By eliminating the hair follicle,
Laser Hair Removal offers permanent hair
reduction and treatment of in grown hairs for
lasting results. Laser Hair Removal provides
enhanced comfort during treatment, rare
risk of infection, speed and accuracy while
minimizing skin irritation.

12. 
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful
process that involves inserting a needle into
each individual hair follicle and delivering an
electrical charge to them one at a time.
Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at
regular intervals. Since Laser Hair Removal is
non-invasive (no needles to penetrate the skin),
the risk of introducing bacteria into the skin is
reduced. Laser Hair Removal is fast, allowing for
larger areas to be treated and considerably
increasing the efficiency of the New Yorkhair
removal process. By delivering light energy to
hundreds of hair follicles at a time, Laser Hair
Removal effectively treats an area in just
seconds that would take over an hour with
electrolysis.

13. 
Using the latest technology in Laser Hair Removal,
Laserklinic offers several lasers including the Candela
GentleYag and Candela GentleLase. Both systems were
designed from the ground up for hair removal, so they
possess the wavelength, fluence, pulse width and active
epidermal cooling system ideally suited for Laser Hair
Removal. FDA approved for permanent hair reduction,
laserklinic’s Laser Hair Removal systems can treat men and
women of all skin types and tones safely and effectively,
even patients with a suntan. Our Manhattan, Long Island
& Queens Laser Hair Removal systems can rapidly address
large areas without the limitations of older technologies
and are adjustable enough to treat the fine hair on a
woman’s upper lip just as easily and effectively as the
coarse hair on a man’s back. The customized cooling
feature of the lasers increases patient comfort and
minimizes the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with
other lasers and the unique design and longer wavelength
allows extremely effective, safe and permanent results.
