Laser Hair Removal vs. Shaving: Bye Bye Stubble

Smooth skin has a feeling like no other. Achieving smooth skin with razors is extremely challenging. And, even when you are able to shave an area without nicks or irritation, stubble can return within just a few hours. The good news is that laser hair removal allows you to bid farewell to the daily grind of shaving and enjoy silky, stubble free skin all of the time.

We are continuing the conversation discussing why laser hair removal is preferred over shaving, especially when it comes to lasting, smooth skin. Let’s explore how hair removal laser treatment works and why it’s such a game changer for achieving smooth skin.

Laser hair removal is a long term solution that tackles the root of the problem – literally. One of the reasons why Manhattan Laser Centers has earned the reputation for delivering the best hair removal treatment is because we use a true medical laser. The FDA approved CANDELA medical laser is the gold standard in hair removal laser treatment. The laser targets hair follicles, thus stopping hair growth and eliminating the need for shaving.

So, yes, you really can say goodbye to ingrown hairs, razor burn, and those pesky bumps that seem to appear out of nowhere. Laser hair removal also saves you time and money that would otherwise be spent on tedious hair removal rituals. Imagine being able to slip into your favorite swimsuit or pair of shorts without having to worry about unsightly hair growth.

The Downsides of Shaving: Ingrown Hairs, Razor Burn, and More

The woes of shaving. We’ve all been there – the initial smoothness quickly gives way to a host of pesky problems that can leave our skin feeling irritated, inflamed, and just plain miserable.

We are continuing the conversation discussing why more and more people are ditching shaving and embracing the benefits of laser hair removal.

Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs are one of the biggest downsides of shaving. These pesky little bumps can be painful and unsightly and are a common complaint for many who shave. Ingrown hairs are caused by hairs that grow back into the skin and they can be a frustrating and difficult problem to tackle.

Razor Burn

This fiery, itchy sensation can linger long after the shave is over. It’s not only uncomfortable, but it can be unsightly when it occurs on areas of the skin that are more visible.

Nicks and Cuts

Even the most careful shavers can end up with shaving nicks and cuts. Again, not only does this look bad, but it can be painful as well.

It’s An Everyday Thing

The constant need to shave again and again, only to have the hair grow back thicker and faster than before, is a vicious cycle that can leave us feeling like we’re stuck in a never ending battle against our own body hair.

If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers can help. We are a trusted laser hair removal center serving New York City and surrounding areas. Our team of hair removal laser treatment specialists are experienced, sensitive to your needs, and use the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser for laser hair removal. We can treat any body area, from chin and chest to full legs laser and even full body hair removal. If you want the best hair removal treatment, then look no further. Contact your friends at Manhattan Laser Centers to schedule your laser hair removal consultation today.

Why Laser Hair Removal Beats Shaving

The age-old struggle of unwanted body hair – it’s a constant battle that many of us face, with razors and shaving cream becoming our go-to hair removal method. The tedious routine of shaving can be a time consuming and painful process, leaving behind a trail of ingrown hairs, razor burn, and skin irritation. But, what if there was a way to break free from this cycle of hair removal?

The good news is that it is possible to achieve permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers is a trusted laser hair removal center serving New York City and surrounding areas. We use a game changing technology that’s revolutionizing the way we approach unwanted body hair. More and more people are ditching their razors and opting for hair removal laser treatment, a modern, high-tech solution that produces amazing results.

Our next series of articles will explore some of the benefits laser hair removal has over shaving and why so many people are bidding farewell to the hassle of shaving for good. Let’s get started:

The Frustration of Shaving: A Personal Story

The agony of shaving! I still remember the countless hours I spent in front of the mirror, razor in hand, battling against the never ending growth of unwanted hair. It was a continuous cycle of frustration and disappointment. The ingrown hairs, the razor burn, the nicks and cuts – it was a constant struggle to achieve the smooth, silky skin I desired. And don’t even get me started on the maintenance! It seemed like no matter how frequently I shaved, the hair always grew back, thicker and more stubborn than before. I felt like I was fighting a losing battle, and the worst part was that it was a battle I had to fight every single day. The constant anxiety of wondering when my next shave would be, the annoyance of having to deal with stubble and regrowth, and the embarrassment of having to hide behind clothes or makeup to cover up my imperfections – it was exhausting. But then, I discovered laser hair removal, and my life was forever changed!

Our laser hair removal center has countless stories of clients like this who are embracing the benefits of hair removal laser treatment. If you are seeking the best hair removal treatment, then look no further. Manhattan Laser Centers uses the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser to perform laser hair removal on single body areas (i.e. chin, upper lip), or multiple areas (i.e. full legs laser, full body hair removal.) We invite you to book a consultation to discuss a customized laser hair removal plan today!

Say Goodbye to Waxing Forever

Say Goodbye to Waxing Forever

We have been highlighting some of the benefits of laser hair removal vs. waxing. Our previous articles explored how laser hair removal is more affordable, comfortable, effective, and requires less sessions than waxing. Today, we will look at another advantage of hair removal laser treatment to consider. 

Skin Sensitivity

Skin sensitivity is a crucial consideration when choosing a hair removal method. Waxing can cause redness, irritation, and ingrown hairs, especially for individuals with sensitive skin. The pulling motion involved in waxing can also lead to discomfort and skin damage.

Laser hair removal is gentler on the skin because the laser targets the hair follicles without pulling on the skin. While some individuals may experience mild redness or temporary skin irritation after treatment, these side effects are typically minimal and quickly subside. Laser hair removal is the ideal option for individuals with sensitive skin and/or those prone to skin reactions.

When it comes to choosing between laser hair removal and waxing, laser hair removal emerges as the ultimate choice for achieving smooth, hair free skin. While waxing may offer immediate results and lower upfront costs, laser hair removal boasts huge advantages in terms of comfort, treatment time, effectiveness, and skin sensitivity.

If you are seeking permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is proud to be considered by many to be the best hair removal treatment center in New York City and surrounding areas. Our laser hair removal center uses the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser for all hair removal laser treatment services. Our friendly, experienced technicians listen to your needs and offer you the best hair removal treatment options to fit your needs. We welcome the opportunity to work with you. Feel free to contact us to schedule your complimentary laser hair removal consultation today.

Why Choose Laser Hair Removal Over Waxing?

Are you seeking a permanent hair removal solution that is cost effective, painless, and gentle on the skin? If so, then laser hair removal is the solution for you as it allows you to say goodbye to the hassle of frequent waxing appointments and hello to the perfection of long lasting, silky smooth skin. We are continuing our series of articles discussing the benefits of laser hair removal vs. waxing. Our previous article explored the cost comparison and pain-free advantages of hair removal laser treatment. Today, we will look two more advantages to consider.

Treatment Time

While waxing sessions are relatively quick, the need for frequent appointments can be time consuming, not to mention costly. Laser hair removal sessions typically range from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. While multiple sessions are required for optimal results, the long term time savings are significant compared to waxing. Laser hair removal allows you to achieve lasting hair reduction with fewer sessions overall.

Effectiveness

When it comes to effectiveness, laser hair removal is known for providing long lasting, permanent results. The laser targets the hair follicles and with each session, hair becomes finer and lighter, eventually leading to permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers uses the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser for all hair removal laser treatment sessions, so not only is it effective, but it’s safe.

Waxing provides immediate hair removal results, but the effects are temporary. Hair regrowth typically occurs within a few weeks, requiring regular maintenance appointments to keep skin smooth and hair free.

Manhattan Laser Centers is proud to offer the best hair removal treatment in Manhattan and surrounding areas. Our laser hair removal center is comprised of experienced technicians who are attentive and sensitive to your needs. We can perform laser hair removal anywhere on the body, and even offer full legs laser and full body hair removal. We invite you to schedule a complimentary laser hair removal consultation with us today!

Why Laser Hair Removal is a More Attractive Choice vs. Waxing

Would you like to say goodbye to painful waxing and hello to perfect skin? If so, then this next series of articles will be especially appealing to you. Laser hair removal and waxing are two popular methods for achieving smooth, hair-free skin. While both offer hair removal solutions, they differ in terms of cost, pain level, treatment time, effectiveness, and skin sensitivity. Let’s compare laser hair removal and waxing to paint a clear picture of why laser hair removal is a more attractive choice.

Cost Comparison

When considering the cost of hair removal methods, laser hair removal may have a higher upfront investment when compared to waxing. However, when looking at the long term costs, laser hair removal is definitely more affordable. Waxing requires regular appointments every few weeks to maintain smooth skin. This cost adds up significantly over time, making laser hair removal a much more economical option.

Pain

One of the main concerns individuals have when considering hair removal treatments is the level of pain involved. Waxing is known for causing discomfort, as hair is pulled out from the root, leading to a stinging sensation. The pain associated with waxing is often described as intense, especially in sensitive areas.

On the other hand, laser hair removal targets the hair follicles, destroying them without pulling on the skin. Some individuals may experience a slight warming or pricking sensation during the hair removal laser treatment, but overall, the procedure is pain-free.

Our next article will cover more reasons to choose laser hair removal over waxing.

Manhattan Laser Centers offers the best hair removal treatment in New York City and surrounding areas.

After Care for Laser Hair Removal

When you have hair removal laser treatment performed, taking care of your skin afterward is super important. Aftercare instructions are designed to keep your skin healthy and thriving. After laser hair removal, your skin might feel a bit sensitive. Following the aftercare tips provided by your laser hair removal technician helps protect your skin. We’ve discussed in previous  articles the importance of pampering your skin and avoiding any type of heat after your hair removal laser treatment session. Here are a few more helpful tips:

Don’t Apply Pressure

The treated area needs time to heal, so avoid applying any type of pressure to the area for at least a few days. This means no scratching, tweezing, scrubbing, or rubbing! Body scrubs are a definite no-no as they contain abrasives that are designed to exfoliate the skin.

Avoid Swimming

Avoid swimming for at least 48 hours after hair removal laser treatment. Swimming pools contain chemicals that can irritate your freshly treated skin. Natural bodies of water can harbor bacteria, algae, and other components that can irritate the skin.

As we’ve discussed, following some reasonable aftercare tips can help your skin heal and ensure you are on the path to silky-smooth results!

Manhattan Laser Centers is proud to be considered one of the best hair removal treatment facilities in New York City and surrounding areas. Our laser hair removal center is different because we employ qualified, experienced technicians, utilize the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser for all hair removal laser treatment sessions, have a transparent pricing policy, and are a LGBTQ+ safe zone.

Hair Removal Laser Treatment After Care

Imagine never having to worry about shaving or waxing your legs, armpits, or any other body area ever again. Laser hair removal allows you to say goodbye to those pesky hairs and hello to silky smooth skin. We’ve discussed in previous articles the importance of properly preparing for hair removal laser treatment. We are now exploring some aftercare tips. Following the instructions of your laser hair removal technician will help maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and ensure a smooth recovery. Let’s take a look at another aftercare tip your hair removal laser treatment specialist will likely recommend.

Avoid Heat

Avoid sun exposure and excessive heat for a few days after laser hair removal. It’s also important to avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight and be sure to wear sunscreen (at least SPF 50) if you need to go outside. It’s normal for some hair to shed in the days after treatment, so don’t be alarmed if you see this happening. Avoid picking at the skin or exfoliating the treated area to prevent irritation.
