Laser hair removal in NYC is one of the most effective ways to rid your body of unwanted hair for good. Unlike other methods of hair removal, laser treatments have long-term effects so you can enjoy your hair-free skin for longer than a few days or weeks. The effects of treatments can last years, especially if you take these steps to prepare for your appointments. Skin and Sun In order for your treatments to be effective, a laser will target and damage the individual hair follicles so the hair doesn’t grow back. The pigment, or color, of the follicle is what the laser targets. This means that dark hairs, easily targeted through pale skin, will see the best results. Try to avoid the sun (and darkening of the skin) on the body areas being treated. This will not only help you get the best results; it will also prevent scarring that can come from the pigment of the skin being detected by the laser. Leave Your Roots Intact If the hair has been ripped out by the root through common procedures like waxing and tweezing, the root cannot be targeted and damaged by the laser. Avoid these procedures for the duration of your laser treatments. Shave the Night Before For the perfect amount of hair pigment for the laser to target, shave the area the night before your appointment. Too much or too little hair will be detrimental for your results. Clean and Calm When you come in for your appointments for laser hair removal in NYC, make sure your skin is clean and unbroken. Wipe off any deodorant, lotions, or cosmetics, and inform the person performing your treatments if your skin is broken, inflamed, or irritated. After your session, keep the area clean and cool to prevent damage and scarring.
