We are continuing our series of articles addressing some of the most common questions about laser hair removal. Our previous article addressed how laser hair removal does not cause the hair to grow back thicker. We also discussed how hair removal laser treatment does not expose you to any radiation whatsoever. We then covered how full body hair removal is possible, especially when using an FDA cleared medical laser and how you can return to work and most regular activities after hair removal laser treatment. Today, we will address more concerns that prevent some people from seeking hair removal laser treatment.

“Laser Hair Removal Won’t Work on My Skin Type”

A common myth is that laser hair removal is only effective on people with a certain skin type. This is simply untrue. Hair removal laser treatment can be performed on all skin types and tones. It is safe and effective when the laser hair removal center uses an FDA cleared medical laser that is operated by trained technicians. If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is a reputable provider as our trained technicians perform laser hair removal using the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser.

“I’ve Heard That Hair Removal Laser Treatment is as Painful as Electrolysis”

This is not true. Electrolysis is a very painful procedure that rips the hair from the follicle. Hair removal laser treatment is a painless procedure that, at most, feels like tiny pricks to the skin.

If you want the best hair removal treatment, look no further. Manhattan Laser Centers offers quality services at affordable prices.  We can perform full body hair removal, full legs laser, or concentrate solely on a specific body area. We invite you to schedule an appointment today!

 

 

We have had many clients walk into our laser hair removal center with specific questions and concerns about hair removal laser treatment. We understand there are many myths out there about laser hair removal. Our goal is to make sure all of your questions and concerns are answered and to ensure your comfort before, during, and after each hair removal laser treatment. Our next series of articles will address some common concerns people have about laser hair removal.

“I’ve Heard Laser Hair Removal Can Cause Hair to Grow Back Thicker”

While there are some forms of hair removal that can cause hair to grow back thicker, this is simply not true when it comes to hair removal laser treatment. Laser hair removal treats the hair follicles, so they are unable to produce new hair. When laser hair removal is properly performed using a medical laser, the results are permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers uses the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser.

“My Friend Told Me Not to Get Hair Removal Laser Treatment Because of Radiation Exposure”

This is not true. Lasers work by emitting light energy. No radiation or radioactive material is used when performing laser hair removal.

We are continuing our series on what to expect and recommendations of some things to do after you’ve had a hair removal laser treatment session. Our previous articles covered the fact that the area treated may feel like a sunburn for a day or so, the importance of avoiding hot water and saunas, making a plan to take it easy, and avoiding skin irritants after laser hair removal. Today, will look at two more recommendations to consider.

Use SPF 50 Sunscreen

You should apply sunscreen to the treated area every day until you conclude all of your laser hair removal treatments. If you plan to go outside, be sure to use at least an SPF 50 sunscreen with UVA/UVB. In fact, this is a good practice all the time, regardless of whether or not you’ve had hair removal laser treatment.

Avoid Waxing, Plucking, Electrolysis, or Depilatories

While it may be tempting, you need to completely avoid waxing, plucking, electrolysis, and depilatories before, after, and between laser hair removal sessions. If you need to, you can gently shave the area as needed after the redness and swelling subsides. Once you have completed your laser hair removal treatments, hair removal will be permanent.

May Feel Like a Minor Sunburn

After you’ve received hair removal laser treatment, the skin on and around the treated area will likely be red and swollen. It will also probably feel a bit like a sunburn. The redness and swelling should subside within a day or so.

Refrain From Using Hot Water or Saunas

You should not expose the treated area to any hot water, including showers, spas, or baths, for at least 12 hours after your hair removal laser treatment. You should avoid using saunas as well.  Once the redness has subsided, you may go back to your normal routine.

We are continuing our series of articles highlighting some of the common reasons why both men and women choose to pursue laser hair removal. Our previous article discussed how hair removal laser treatment allows you to be completely free of having to worry about unwanted hair that needs to be shaved or waxed. We also discussed how laser hair removal can be used for hair reduction purposes. Today, we will look at more benefits of choosing hair removal laser treatment.

Improve Self-Esteem

Laser hair removal can help improve the self-esteem of individuals who are either embarrassed about excessive hair or hair growth on certain parts of their bodies.  For instance, many male clients come to us for hair removal laser treatment on their neck, back and buttocks areas.  Females with dark or thick hair on their arms, chin, upper lip, or other areas often seek laser hair removal to address these areas. Hair removal laser treatment can boost self-confidence and improve self-esteem.

Healthy Skin

Laser hair removal not only makes your skin smoother, but it helps promote its health. Shaving and waxing are notorious for causing ingrown hairs, irritation, and infection.  This is not the case with hair removal laser treatment. Once you have achieved permanent hair removal, you never have to worry about the side effects of waxing or shaving again.

Our next article will cover more reasons why so many people choose laser hair removal.
