Guidelines for Best Laser Hair Removal Results

Guidelines for Best Laser Hair Removal Results

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.

Our next article will explore more post laser hair removal recommendations.

Post Hair Removal Laser Treatment Guidelines

We are continuing our series of articles discussing what you can expect after receiving hair removal laser treatment. Our previous article discussed how laser hair removal may feel a bit like a sunburn for a few hours or days afterwards. We also covered the importance of avoiding hot showers, baths, spas, and saunas for a minimum of 12 hours after your hair removal laser treatment. Today, we will discuss two more recommendations to consider after you’ve had a laser hair removal session.

Take It Easy

Although laser hair removal treatments are quick and painless, you should still avoid strenuous activities for at least 12 hours afterwards. It is completely normal for the skin on and around the treated area to be slightly red and swollen for several hours. It is a good idea to refrain from exercising, jogging, and any other type of related activity until the redness and/or swelling does away.

Avoid Irritants

You should avoid anything that could irritate your skin for at least one full week after you’ve had hair removal laser treatment. This includes staying away from acids, retinoids and anything else that can cause skin irritation.

Our next article will cover more recommendations to consider after you’ve had a hair removal laser treatment session.

More Reasons to Choose Hair Removal Laser Treatment

We have been exploring some of the reasons why people choose laser hair removal. Our previous articles covered how hair removal laser treatment allows you to be free from the worries of unwanted hair. We also covered how some people seek laser hair removal for hair reduction and to boost self-confidence.  We also touched on the fact that hair removal laser treatment also helps promote healthier skin.  Today, we will look at more reasons why people consider laser hair removal.

Affordable

Not only is the laser hair removal process affordable, you save money in the long run on items such as razors, shaving cream, waxing supplies, appointments for temporary hair removal services such as waxing, etc. Time is money, and hair removal laser treatment also saves time because you no longer have to worry about making time for shaving or waxing.

Permanent

Probably one of the most attractive aspects about laser hair removal is that it is permanent. Other types of hair removal including shaving and waxing, are not permanent hair removal solutions.  Hair removal laser treatment often only takes a few minutes per session depending on the area being treated, and permanent results can often achieved in approximately 8-10 sessions.

When it comes to permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers has you covered. We invite you to come and see why we are considered the best laser hair removal in NYC.  We specialize in CANDELA laser hair removal and use the FDA approved CANDELA medical laser. We treat all areas, and even perform full body hair removal. We invite you to schedule an appointment today!

More Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

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.

Common Reasons Men and Women Choose Laser Hair Removal

There are numerous types of hair removal methods. Why do so many people choose laser hair removal?  Our next series of articles will dive deeper into some of the reasons why both men and women are ditching shaving and waxing in favor of hair removal laser treatment.  Let’s get started:

No More Hair Worries

Laser hair removal allows you to be completely free of having to contend with shaving or waxing body hair. Hair removal laser treatment allows you to always be bikini ready!  Men sometimes want facial hair removal with laser to help eliminate the worries of having to deal with a five o’ clock shadow.

Hair Reduction

There are cases where men with much hair or very thick hair on their bodies seek hair removal laser treatment to reduce the amount of hair in certain areas.  Some men are comfortable with having hair on their bodies in general provided that it is not thick or plentiful in certain areas. Those with thick hair on their faces sometimes opt for facial hair removal with laser to reduce the amount of hair.

More Types of Laser Hair Removal Processes

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!

Advantages of Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing

Advantages of Laser Hair Removal

We are concluding our series of articles discussing some of the advantages of laser hair removal vs. waxing. Our previous article explored the cost and comfort aspects of hair removal laser treatment. We also discussed how laser hair removal is much less painful than waxing and how waxing requires ¼ inch of hair to be effective.  Today, we will examine two more benefits of laser hair removal.

Permanent

We keep stressing this aspect about hair removal laser treatment because it really is true. Yes, it is permanent!! Waxing is only temporary, and you will need ongoing treatments throughout your lifetime. When laser hair removal is performed using a true medical laser, then you can expect an average of 8-10 sessions to achieve permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers uses the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser, which is considered the industry gold standard.

Fewer Side Effects

Laser hair removal has little to no side effects, whereas waxing can result in extreme irritation, ingrown hairs, and, at worse, infection of the area treated. Hair removal laser treatment can be safely performed on all skin types, including sensitive skin.

When it comes to permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is considered one of the best hair removal treatment options in New York City and surrounding areas. Whether you want to treat a single area (i.e., chin, sideburns, etc.) or a large area (i.e., full legs laser, full body hair removal) we can help.
