Laser Hair Removal, Woodhaven, Queens, NY

The best candidate for laser hair removal would be someone with very light skin and dark hair.
That’s because we want the laser to “see” the hair without “seeing” the skin because we want
the hair, not the skin, to absorb the laser light. Having said that, basically anyone who has some pigmentation to their hair is a good candidate for laser hair removal. This is as long as the hair is not around the eyes. So that means that almost everyone is a good candidate as long as their hair has some pigment.

Each hair follicle passes through three different growth phases. An active (growth) phase, an
intermediate (resting) phase where no growth occurs but the hair is still visible, and a resting
phase where the hair is released from the follicle.

It is necessary to treat the hair in an active
growing phase in order to target the germination cells that produce the hair in the follicle.
Because not all hair follicles are in a growing phase at the same time, multiple sequential
treatments are required for optimal hair reduction.

On Average, most clients will require over 8 treatments to experience 70% to 90% hair reduction. Treatments for facial areas are usually scheduled 4-6 weeks apart, while body areas are scheduled 4-12 weeks apart. It is recommended to do treatments consistently, as this allows us to treat all the hair follicles in a
growth cycle at some time during your hair removal treatments.

Please shave the area to be treated the morning of the treatment. The less hair on the skin
during treatment, the more comfortable the treatment. Avoid the sun 2 to 3 weeks before and
after treatment until your technician allows it. You must not bleach, pluck or wax for 3 weeks
prior to your treatment.

Laser hair removal can be done on basically all the areas of the body that have hair.

It is permanent for a period of time. It all depends on the hormonal growth of each client’s hair.

Immediately following a treatment your skin will feel like it has mild sunburn, which will subside quickly. Some clients may experience slight redness and or irritation in the treated areas. These will almost always resolve by the end of the day. At first, hair will look like it’s growing back in, but it is just coming through the skin to shed. Exfoliating and/or scrubbing gently in the shower with a loofa can help speed up the process. After shedding finishes, you might experience little black dots still “stuck” in the skin. These are commonly referred to as “pepperspots” and will
shed eventually, but might take a bit longer. Exfoliate to help those out as well
