Laser Hair Removal

Having to keep up with waxing or shaving can be frustrating, especially when the results only last a few days at best. Not to mention, they can be painful and leave your skin red, bumpy, and irritated. Beauté Aesthetics offers laser hair removal in Manhattan that will leave you with softer, smoother, hair-free skin, and poolside ready at a moment’s notice.

Laser Hair Removal is proven to significantly reduce hair growth, providing up to 90% hair reduction. The average client will see results after four to six treatments. Laser hair removal will soften and smooth your skin by reducing the number of ingrown hairs and razor burns, thus saving you time and money by not constantly having to wax and shave. Safe and successful laser hair treatment is the result of experience, understanding laser physics, and education of our clients. Our overall goal is to place integrity and client safety above all else while ensuring we maximize aesthetic outcomes.

Laser hair removal involves using targeted beams of light to destroy the follicles from which hair grows and affect future hair growth from that location. The melanin, or pigment, in your hair absorbs the heat from laser light, which causes damage to the follicle and either damages it permanently or reduces its functionality. If hair does grow back in that location, it may be lighter in color or not as thick.

Hair grows in three different cycles, and the laser only works to damage the follicle during the active growth phase. So it normally takes multiple sessions to stop hair from growing in a certain location.

The laser we use is a Diode Inova Laser with an 808 nm wavelength. Diode lasers work for all skin types, but we recommend Skin types 1 to 5, as skin types 6 may not see desirable results.

Laser hair removal can benefit both men and women who are tired of shaving or waxing but want smooth, hair-free skin. It works best for individuals with darker hair who are in good health and do not have skin conditions that could make the treatment unsafe.

Blonde, gray, white, and red hairs do not contain very much melanin, so they often do not absorb enough heat to disable the follicle and prevent hair growth. One of our Beauté Aesthetics professionals can talk with you about your desired results and the best treatment to use to attain them.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, laser hair removal is not recommended.

Step 1: Getting Ready

You need to pre-shave the area that is targeted for treatment, but do not wax or pluck these areas.

Step 2: Preparing the Area

At the start of your appointment, your professional Beauté Aesthetics expert will clean your skin and apply a special cooling gel to the area targeted for treatment.

Step 2: Laser Settings Are Set

Your skincare expert will then adjust the laser so it best suits your needs, and you will be provided with a pair of protective glasses to wear while the laser is being used.

Step 3: Targeted Areas Are Treated

The handheld laser is placed over the area being treated and sends out short bursts of energy to target the hair and follicle. This step is repeated until all the targeted areas are treated. Depending on the size of the area being treated, this can take between 20 and 30 minutes.

Step 4: Schedule Your Next Session

Most people need at least six sessions to get the best results and prevent future hair growth.

After your laser hair removal treatment, you might notice some redness or slight swelling in the area, or your skin may feel dry, tight, or a little sensitive for a day or two. Some people experience some light peeling, but this is also considered normal.

You will be given some aftercare instructions to get the most from your laser hair removal treatment and to prevent skin irritation, such as avoiding direct sunlight, tanning beds, lotions, scented products, body scrubs, hot tubs, etc.

You should wait between four and six weeks before you have your next session.

After laser hair removal, you will start to notice that your hair grows back more slowly, if at all, and it will become finer. Most people need several sessions to get the best results, and with each visit, the hair that grows back in will be lighter, finer, and less dense. Most people see a significant improvement in the amount of hair in the treated areas after a few sessions, and normally, after a full round of sessions, only need an occasional touch-up to stay smooth.

Before laser hair removal in New York at Beauté Aesthetics, many people had to put up with a constant cycle of shaving, waxing, or plucking, which was time-consuming, irritating to their skin, and only offered them temporary results. Their hair would grow back very quickly and was coarser or thicker each time.

After completing a series of laser hair removal sessions at Beauté Aesthetics, the best laser hair removal in NYC, individuals notice a major reduction in both the amount and thickness of their hair in the treated areas. Their skin feels smoother, and their hair grows back much slower or does not regrow at all. Most people only need periodic maintenance sessions to maintain their results.

The cost of your laser hair removal in Manhattan at Beauté Aesthetics will depend on the number of areas being treated and how extensive the hair growth is. Most individuals require about six sessions to obtain the results they desire. Click below for the current pricing menu.
