Brooklyn, NY dermatologist shares the cost and benefits of laser hair removal

No one likes to pluck, shave, or wax every few days. What if we told you there was a better answer that could safely and effectively remove unwanted hair for good? Laser hair removal helps patients in Brooklyn, NY achieve hair removal without the pain and time associated with daily grooming. In the following article, we’ll share some of the benefits and costs of laser hair removal.

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal successfully reduces unwanted hair in targeted areas of the body. The procedure uses pulses of light to target the pigment in hair follicles, destroying them so they no longer grow in that area. Because laser hair removal targets hair follicles that are in the active growth cycle and hair follicles are all in different stages, multiple sessions will be required to eliminate as much hair as possible. While laser hair removal will not fully get rid of every single follicle, there will be a dramatic reduction.

Areas of the body that can be treated with laser hair removal

There are several different areas where men and women get laser hair removal treatment. Some of the most common areas are:

• Legs
• Underarms
• Face
• Bikini line
• Back

Laser hair removal is effective – Laser hair removal has been around for several decades and has emerged as an extremely effective treatment. With laser hair removal, you can count on hair reduction in the desired area.

Laser hair removal is comfortable – Most patients find little to no discomfort during laser hair removal treatments. While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most describe the treatment like a snapping of a warm rubber band.

Laser hair removal can reduce ingrown hairs – Ingrown hairs can be a common problem in areas that have been shaved or waxed. Laser hair removal can reduce the instance of ingrown hairs.

Laser hair removal is fast – While treatment times will depend on the size of the area, the sessions are typically fast.

Most people will experience results that last for months or years and when the hair does grow back it is typically finer and lighter in color.
