Laser Hair Removal for Women of All Ages

Laser Hair Removal for Women of All Ages

We are continuing or series of articles covering laser hair removal at all stages of life. Our previous article covered hair removal laser treatment for men. Today, we will cover laser hair removal for women.

Women 20-50

Women can experience excess hair growth at any age. Hormones and conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are often the culprits that can cause women to grow excess hair, especially on their face and chest areas. Laser hair removal can be performed on any are of the body. In addition to full body hair removal, common areas for women include arms, belly, bikini, buttocks, chin, face, neck, underarms, and full legs laser.

Women in Menopause

Women in menopause can experience the growth of coarse facial hair, especially on the chin. This is usually caused by a decrease in estrogen, which increases the ratio of testosterone to estrogen. Diabetes can also cause excess facial hair, especially during menopausal years. Shaving and plucking only irritate the skin and make the problem worse. Hair removal laser treatment offers a permanent solution.

Laser Hair Removal for Men of All Ages

Laser Hair Removal for Men of All Ages

We are often asked about what age is ideal for laser hair removal. The answer is any age, however, the objectives may be different during various stages of your life. Our next series of articles will cover laser hair removal for both men and women of all ages. Let’s get started with addressing men:

Men 18-40

If you had excess or unwanted hair in your teens, then it will likely carry over or get worse as you age. If you have excess hair or thick hair, laser hair removal can address this. Common laser hair removal and reduction areas in men include the arms, back, chest, buttocks, bikini area, ears, face, stomach, neck, shoulders, and full legs laser.

Men 40+

Once you reach your 40’s, unwanted hair can develop in areas where it never developed before. Your skin is also more sensitive, so shaving, waxing, and other methods of hair removal may be even more irritating on the skin. Some men age 40 and above sometimes choose to have hair removal laser treatment on specific areas, while others opt for full body hair removal or reduction.

Whether you want hair reduction or permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers can help. We are the premier laser hair removal center servicing New York City and surrounding areas. We welcome both men and women and are LGBTQ friendly. If you want the best hair removal treatment, look no further. Give your friends at Manhattan Laser Centers a call today.

Post-Care for Facial Laser Hair Removal

Post-Care for Facial Laser Hair Removal

The face is an especially sensitive area of the body, so for best results, it is important to follow post-care recommendations following each hair removal laser treatment. Your laser hair removal technician will provide you with specific guidelines based on your particular case, but there are a few general recommendations that apply to everyone.

Avoid the Sun

It is imperative to avoid exposure to the sun and ultraviolet rays for several weeks following facial laser hair removal. Tanning beds should be avoided for a few weeks as well.

Keep Away from Chemicals

Do not use any chemicals on your face two days before hair removal laser treatment is scheduled to be performed anywhere on your facial area, and then avoid them for at least two weeks after. This includes facial scrubs, retinol, glycolic acid, chemical peels, etc.

Use Lots of Moisturizer

Your skin will be dry after each hair removal laser treatment, so be sure to use a lot of moisturizer for a few weeks after laser hair removal or until the dryness subsides.

How Facial Laser Hair Removal Makes Your Life Easier

Facial Hair Removal Life Easier

We are continuing our series of articles discussing the benefits of hair removal laser treatment performed on facial areas. Our previous article covered how laser hair removal and/or reduction is permanent. We also discussed how it eliminates skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and bumps that are caused by shaving, depilatories, waxing, and other forms of hair removal. Today, we will look at two more benefits of facial laser hair removal.

No More Plucking

Women and men alike find themselves needing to pluck wayward hairs. Women often pluck the chin and upper lip, while men most often find the need to pluck the hair in between their eyebrows. However, plucking is only a temporary fix as the hair always grows back. Hair removal laser treatment performed on facial areas eliminates the need for plucking.

Improves Your Self-Esteem

Men with a lot of facial hair and women with thick, dark, or noticeable facial hair often are embarrassed by it, resulting in low self-esteem. Facial laser hair removal can help improve a person’s self-image and boost their confidence, especially in social situations.

If you want the best hair removal treatment for permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is the place for you! Our laser hair removal center is staffed with qualified technicians who perform laser hair removal using the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser.

Laser Hair Removal Before and After Skin Care

Laser Hair Removal Before and After Skin Care

We are continuing our series of articles discussing before and after care tips for laser hair removal. Our previous article covered the importance of making changes to your skin routine in preparation for your hair removal laser treatment and to avoid exposing your skin to the sun or chemicals at least two weeks prior.

Nurture Your Skin

After your hair removal laser treatment, it is important to pay close attention to what is happening with your skin for the first 24-48 hours and act accordingly. If there is any redness or swelling, you may apply ice. Consider wearing loose fitting clothes so there is no rubbing or friction against your skin. You may use an unscented moisturizer if necessary.

Avoid Heat

Heat is not your friend, at least until 48 hours after your hair removal laser treatment. You should avoid taking hot showers, saunas, hot tubs. Stay away from steam rooms. Also, refrain from any activities that could cause your skin to overheat, such as exercising. Minimize exposure to the sun.

Skin Care Before and After Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure, but it does require some before and after care. Our next series of articles will cover some skin care recommendations to consider.

Make Changes Six Weeks Before You Plan to Begin Treatment

Avoid all waxing and plucking since this is done at the hair root. If you want to shave, you can do so up to 48 hours before your hair removal laser treatment. Stop using any hair bleaching products on the area being treated. Also, please advise us of any medications you are taking as we may ask you to pause them before your hair removal laser treatment.

Avoid Exposing Your Skin to Anything

If you have a sunburn, you may not be able to begin hair removal laser treatment. Try to avoid the sun for at least two weeks prior. When you arrive to your appointment, make sure the area being treated is free from any make-up, lotions, ointment’s, or anything containing chemicals.

Common Reasons Men Have Hair Removal Laser Treatment Performed on Their Underarms

Common Reasons Men Have Hair Removal Laser Treatment Performed on Their Underarms

We are continuing our series of articles discussing common reasons why men choose to have laser hair removal performed on their underarms. Our previous article covered the fact that some men prefer to have a clean look when wearing a sleeveless shirt or no shirt at all. We also discussed how body odor is the result of bacteria mixing with sweat and since wet hair takes a long time to dry, having no underarm hair can significantly reduce body odor. Today, we will look at two more reasons why men opt to have hair removal laser treatment performed on their underarms.

Athletic Reasons

Some athletes choose to have hair removal laser treatment performed on their underarms. Athletes participating in sports where their attire is either a sleeveless top (i.e., track and field) or no top at all (i.e., swimming, diving) are more likely to opt for laser hair removal.

Partners Preference

In some cases, a man’s romantic partner may prefer hairless underarms. When this is the case, hair removal laser treatment of the underarms is often accompanied by laser hair removal of the full arms, back, and chest. Some men even opt for full body hair removal.

Manhattan Laser Centers offers the best hair removal treatment in New York City and surrounding areas. Our laser hair removal center is equipped with the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser. Our experienced hair removal laser treatment staff are qualified to work on single body areas or larger areas (i.e., full legs laser, full body hair removal.) If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Lasers Centers is the one to call. Contact us to schedule an appointment today.

Why Some Men Have Laser Hair Removal Performed on Their Underarms

Men Have Laser Hair Removal

Some people think that laser hair removal on the underarms is only for women.  On the contrary, more and more men are opting to have hair removal laser treatment performed on their underarms. Our next series of articles will take a look at some of the reasons why the trend of men seeking laser hair removal center services to get rid of and/or reduce armpit hair is on the rise. Let’s get started.

Cleaner Look

Some men seek laser hair removal on their underarms because they prefer to have a cleaner look when wearing sleeveless shirts or when wearing no shirt at all. This can be achieved by fully removing all of the hair, or by simply reducing the hair, depending on preference. The underarm can be treated as a single area, in conjunction with a larger area (i.e., arms, chest, etc.), or as part of full body hair removal treatment.

Helps Lessen Body Odor

Body odor is caused by sweat mixing with bacteria. Wet hair takes a longer time to dry than wet skin, so when hair becomes sweaty, it holds the odor for a longer period of time. Hair removal laser treatment of the underarms will not resolve body odor all together, but it will reduce it.

Our next article will cover more reasons why men choose to have hair removal laser treatment performed on their underarms.

If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is a respected and reputable provider serving New York City and surrounding areas. We offer the best hair removal laser treatment because our staff is experienced, and we perform all of our services using the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser. Whether you want laser hair removal on a single area, a larger area (i.e., full legs laser) or full body hair removal, we can help. Give us a call to schedule your appointment today.

Women’s Facial Hair

Women’s Facial Hair

All women have facial hair. However, when it becomes excessive, course, and/or thick, it can be difficult to manage and cause issues with self-confidence. One solution to this problem is laser hair removal.

We are continuing our series of articles discussing some of the most common causes of excess facial hair in women. Our previous article discussed how genetics and hormones can cause an increase in facial hair growth. We also touched on how issues with the adrenal glands and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are also culprits.  Today, we will look at two more reasons why women can experience excess facial hair.

Medications

Certain medications, supplements, and anabolic steroids can cause an increase in facial hair growth. If you need to take a medicine that causes excess facial hair for a long period of time, then hair removal laser treatment may be an option to consider.

Prior Shaving

If you ever made it a habit to shave your facial hair with a razor, it can cause your facial hair to grow back thicker. While this doesn’t always happen with every women, it is common, which is why shaving is not the best hair removal treatment. Laser hair removal with an FDA cleared medical laser definitely delivers the best results.

If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers offers a comfortable laser hair removal experience. Our technicians are sensitive and have the expertise to deliver quality hair removal laser treatment services. Not every laser hair removal center uses medical lasers. We use the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser for all of our laser hair removal sessions. If you want the best hair removal treatment in New York City, then look no further.
