More Types of Laser Hair Removal Processes

We are continuing our series discussing some of the different types of laser hair removal processes. Our previous article covered Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and the Diode laser. Today, we will look at two other technologies that may be used by a laser hair removal center.

Ruby Laser

The Ruby laser is a “classic” in the laser hair removal industry.  It was ideal in its heyday; however, it is rarely used today in favor of newer laser technology options.  The Ruby laser is very limiting because it’s not effective on dark skin or light/grey hair.

Medical Laser

FDA cleared medical lasers are arguably the most effective and painless option for permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers uses the CANDELA medical laser for every hair removal laser treatment. It is ideal for treating larger areas and is often utilized for full body hair removal and full legs laser. Medical lasers are safe for all skin types, including dark skin tones.

If you are seeking the best hair removal treatment, look no further. Manhattan Laser Centers is a preferred laser hair removal center serving New York City and surrounding areas.  Our friendly, qualified staff, transparent pricing, quality, and state-of-the-art technology set us apart from other hair removal laser treatment providers.  We serve both men and women and are LGBTQ friendly.

Types of Laser Hair Removal Processes

Types of Laser Hair Removal Processes

When you see a laser hair removal center advertised, do you consider the type of laser technology they are using? Each laser hair removal center has its equipment which can widely vary. Our next series of articles is designed to familiarize you with different types of hair removal laser treatment processes.

Intense Pulse Light

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is utilized by numerous laser hair removal centers. However, IPL does not use true laser technology. It utilizes a broadband light source which, unlike true medical lasers, affects more of the skin surrounding the hair follicle. IPL is also not effective on darker skin tones.

Diode

The Diode laser system is a form of laser hair removal that is capable of a long wavelength. The issue is that Diode hair removal laser treatment works using slower repetitions and tends to be more painful than other types of laser hair removal processes.

Our next article will cover more laser hair removal processes, including medical lasers.

When it comes to permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is considered one of the best because we have invested in the latest technology and hire qualified staff to perform all of our hair removal treatment services. We serve both males and females, offering laser hair removal for single areas or larger areas, including full legs laser and full body hair removal. We are proudly LGBTQ friendly.

More Reasons to Choose Laser Hair Removal Over Waxing

More Reasons to Choose Laser Hair Removal Over Waxing

We are continuing our series discussing some reasons why laser hair removal is preferred over waxing.  Our previous articles covered the cost and comfort aspects of hair removal laser treatment. We also explored how laser hair removal is permanent and has fewer side effects than waxing. Today, we will look at more reasons why laser is the best hair removal treatment option.

Laser Works on All Skin Types

One myth that keeps people going back to waxing is that laser hair removal is not effective on all skin types. This is not true. If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is the one to choose because we use the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser, which is effective on all skin types.

Full Body Hair Removal is Not a Problem

Full body hair removal can be successfully accomplished with hair removal laser treatment. Waxing is very painful, and most people would prefer to forego the suffering, especially since waxing does not accomplish permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers offers full body hair removal, full legs laser, and single body area laser hair removal.

Manhattan Laser Centers offers arguably the best hair removal treatment in New York City and surrounding areas. What makes our laser hair removal center different is our qualified staff, state-of-the-art equipment, transparent pricing policy, and the fact that we treat both men and women. We are also a LGBTQ safe zone. We invite you to experience the Manhattan Laser Centers difference. Schedule your appointment today!

Why Does Laser Hair Removal Require Multiple Treatments?

Why Does Laser Hair Removal Require Multiple Treatments?

A common myth we often hear is that laser hair removal can be completed with one treatment.  While a single treatment will begin the process, it does take several treatments for permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers uses the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser, which is extremely effective.  Many laser hair removal centers do not use an actual laser and instead use intense pulsed light (IPL) which is not as effective as medical lasers and does not permanently remove hair.

Medical lasers provide the best hair removal treatment because they zero in on the actual hair follicles and shaft, destroying them without damaging the skin. It generally takes multiple laser hair removal treatments for this to occur. The exact number of hair removal laser treatments required is dependent on several factors including the area(s) being treated and thickness of the hair.

Looking for permanent hair removal? Manhattan Laser Centers is considered the premier laser hair removal center serving Manhattan and surrounding areas. Our experienced team of laser hair removal technicians can treat a single area or a large area including full legs laser and full body hair removal.  Don’t risk your health or safety by using an inexperienced laser hair removal center. We have convenient appointment times and treat both men and women.  We are also considered a LGBTQ safe zone.  If you have been contemplating hair removal laser treatment, now is the time to take the plunge and experience a new you.

Why You Shouldn’t Use An Inexperienced Laser Hair Removal Provider

Inexperienced Laser Hair Removal

We are continuing our series on the pitfalls of using an inexperienced laser hair removal provider. Our previous series covered how burns, blistering, and unwanted skin changes can occur.  Today, we will look at three more reasons to avoid a laser hair removal center that does not have a proven track record and employs inexperienced technicians.

Infections

Infections are common among inexperienced laser hair removal center providers.  Infected hair follicles are especially unsightly and can even be painful.  Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, permanent discoloring or even scarring can occur as a result of an infection.

Scarring

Scarring is another issue that can occur as a result of an inexperienced laser hair removal technician.  You want to use a hair removal laser treatment provider that has comprehensive knowledge of the biology of the skin and understands how to properly use the laser to perform your laser hair removal treatment.

Ineffective

When hair removal laser treatment is not performed properly or with the right equipment, it can be ineffective. For permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers makes sure every technician has the knowledge and experience to perform effective laser hair removal treatments.

If you want permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is the place to go for the best hair removal treatment in Manhattan and surrounding areas.

Pitfalls of Using an Inexperienced Laser Hair Removal Center

Pitfalls of Using an Inexperienced Laser Hair Removal Center

There are many laser hair removal providers who claim to provide the “best hair removal treatment” in New York City. However, not everyone is transparent in their advertising. We are beginning a new series of articles discussing the pitfalls of using an inexperienced laser hair removal center. Upon further research, it is sometimes discovered that these hair removal laser treatment providers are inexperienced and in some cases, using inferior technology.  Manhattan Laser Centers not only has a staff with extensive experience providing hair removal laser treatment, but we also perform laser hair removal using the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser.  Let’s take a look at some of the downfalls of using an inexperienced laser hair removal center.

Unwanted Skin Changes

When laser hair removal is performed by an inexperienced provider, skin lightening, or darkening can occur.  This can be permanent in some cases.

Burns/Blistering

One of the most serious side effects of having hair removal laser treatment provided by an inexperienced provider is burns and/or blistering on the skin, which is why you should always seek services from an experience laser hair removal center.

Our next article will cover more pitfalls of using an inexperienced laser hair removal center.

Prepping For Your First Laser Hair Removal Service

We have been answering some of the most commonly asked questions regarding laser hair removal treatment. It is important to note that our series of articles relate to the laser hair removal services provided by Manhattan Laser Centers.  Not every laser hair removal center has comparable experience and/or technology, which is why we are considered among the best hair removal treatment centers in the nation.

Let’s answer more of your questions about laser hair removal.

Shave Before You Come

We ask that you shave the areas we are treating before you come. This will help us achieve maximum results.  We use the FDA cleared CANDELA laser which is very effective in laser hair removal.  Shaving beforehand allows the laser to target the hair follicles more easily. While we encourage you to shave before hair removal laser treatment, we ask that you please do not use any waxing products.

No Sunburns or Tans!

We do ask that you refrain from being out in the direct sunlight for a few days before your laser hair removal treatment.  Sunburned and/or tanned skin can make laser hair removal more difficult.  Additionally, when laser hair removal treatment is performed on sunburned or tanned skin, you run the risk of irritation.

Our next article will be the final article in our series that answers questions about laser hair removal.

When it comes to the best hair removal treatment and permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is one of the preferred providers in the nation.  Our affordable hair removal laser treatment can be performed on a single small area (i.e. chin) or large area (i.e. full legs laser).  We even perform full body hair removal.
