Laser Hair Removal or Electrolysis?

Laser Hair Removal or Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a hair removal process that has been used for many years. While it was considered a breakthrough technology for its time, it is now obsolete due to the advanced technology of laser hair removal.  Electrolysis uses an electric current and needles to help block the growth of new hair. This painful process is inferior to hair removal laser treatment, which is much more advanced and has many advantages over electrolysis. Our next series of articles will discuss this in further detail.

Electrolysis is Only Effective on Certain Types of Hair

Electrolysis is very limited because it is only effective on small hair follicles, such as those around the eyes. Laser hair removal using a true medical laser is effective on all types and colors of skin and hair, regardless of the size of the follicle.

Laser Hair Removal is Fast

Hair removal laser treatment averages only a few minutes for each treatment.  Some laser hair removal treatments such as full legs laser and full body hair removal can take longer due to the larger surface area. However, with electrolysis, even smaller treatment areas can take up to 60 minutes to complete.  That is quite a long time, especially since the electrolysis process has been described by many as being extremely painful.

Our next article will cover more advantages laser hair removal has over electrolysis.

Additional Facts About Hair Removal Laser Treatment

Additional Facts About Hair Removal Laser Treatment

We are continuing our series of articles discussing some facts about hair removal laser treatment. Our previous article covered how laser hair removal is more affordable than you think and the fact that when a laser hair removal center such as Manhattan Laser Centers uses a true medical laser, all types of hair can be treated. Today, we will cover two more facts about laser hair removal.

The Laser Hair Removal Process Is Actually Pleasant

People sometimes are apprehensive about coming to a laser hair removal center because they think that the process will be uncomfortable or painful. If you have participated in other types of hair removal methods such as waxing or electrolysis, these are very painful!  Hair removal laser treatment using a true medical laser does not hurt. At worst, it may feel like tiny little prickles on your skin.  Our hair removal laser treatment rooms are very comfortable and designed to ensure you have a pleasant experience.

Appointments for Hair Removal Laser Treatment Often Last Less Than 30 Minutes

You do not need to worry about taking several hours out of your day for your laser hair removal appointment.  While treatment times vary depending on the area being treated (i.e. full legs laser and full body hair removal will take longer than treating a single are like the chin) in most cases you will be in and out in less than 30 minutes. Manhattan Laser Centers proudly employs the best hair removal treatment technicians who are gentle and efficient at what they do.

Facts to Know About Laser Hair Removal

Facts to Know About Laser Hair Removal

When it comes to laser hair removal, there are often some fallacies that keep people from pursuing the option for permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers is different from the typical laser hair removal center and we are dedicating our next series of articles to discussing some of the facts about hair removal laser treatment. Let’s get started:

Hair Removal Laser Treatment is More Affordable Than You Think

One stumbling block some people have about contacting a laser hair removal center is that they think that hair removal laser treatment is going to be very expensive.  While this is the case with some laser hair removal centers, it is not the case with us.  If you are considering permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is not only affordable, but our prices are transparent and there are no hidden costs.

All Types of Hair Can Be Treated

Many people believe that only thinner, dark hair can be treated.  When it comes to permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is one of the few that can treat all types of hair. A typical laser hair removal center will use intense pulsed light (IPL) which is not a true laser. However, we use the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser, which is extremely effective in laser hair removal of all types of hair.

Our next article will cover more facts to know about hair removal laser treatment.

If you are looking for the best hair removal treatment, look no further.  Manhattan Laser Centers is the preferred laser hair removal center serving all of New York City and surrounding areas.  Whether you need a single area treated or a larger area (i.e. full legs laser, full body hair removal) your friends at Manhattan Laser Centers are here for you.

Popular Areas For Men’s Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal

We are continuing our series on hair removal laser treatment for men.  We have been discussing the top areas men consider for permanent hair removal. Manhattan Laser Centers treats men and can perform laser hair removal on single areas or full body hair removal if desired. Our previous article discussed laser hair removal on the back, chest, and stomach.  Today, we will look at three more areas that are popular for men.

Buttocks

Let’s face it, no one wants hair on their bottom. The buttocks is another area that is popular for laser hair removal for men and can often be performed in 8-10 treatments.

Arms

Hairy arms can cause some men to feel self-conscious. We can perform either full laser hair removal or hair reduction on both the upper and lower arms.

Full Legs Laser

Full legs laser includes the area from the top of the leg to the ankle. Most men prefer complete laser hair removal but we can also perform hair reduction on the legs as well.

Not every laser hair removal center caters to men in the same way we do. This is why when it comes to permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is the choice for men throughout New York City and surrounding areas. Our experienced and dedicated laser hair removal specialists deliver the best hair removal treatment services using the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser.  Whether you want us to treat a single area or perform full body hair removal, we can help.  Give us a call to schedule your appointment today!

Top Areas for Men’s Hair Removal Laser Treatment

hair removal laser treatment

Are you a man seeking permanent hair removal?  Manhattan Laser Centers is proud to offer hair removal laser treatment services for men.  We understand some men are self- conscious about their body hair.  Thick body hair or body hair on certain areas may be something you wish to address. Our next series of articles will cover popular laser hair removal areas for men.

Back

Men with hair on their back tend to be self-conscious about going to the beach or doing anything without wearing a shirt. Hair removal laser treatment on the back can help give men confidence to take off their shirts and not worry about being stared at while they are at a waterpark with their families or laying on the beach getting a tan.

Chest

We have worked with many men to either get rid of or reduce their chest hair.  Some men even want laser hair removal to reshape the hair on their chest.

Stomach

We can perform either laser hair removal or reduction on the stomach area.

Hair removal laser treatment on the stomach involves also treating surrounding areas, making sure it looks clean and natural.

If you want the best hair removal treatment for men, look no further. We use the FDA cleared CANDELA medical laser which is safe and effective for permanent hair removal.  Manhattan Laser Centers treats many men, whether they want laser hair removal on a single area or full body hair removal.

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. Our experienced and trained laser hair removal staff are exceptionally qualified to handle any and all types of hair removal, including full legs laser and full body hair removal.

Tips to Keep in Mind as You Prep for Your First Hair Removal Laser Treatment

Hair Removal Laser Treatment

We are continuing our series on preparing for your first hair removal laser treatment. Our previous article discussed the importance of shaving the areas being treated beforehand and refraining from being out in the sun a few days before laser hair removal is to be performed.  Today, we will provide a few more tips to help you prepare for your first hair removal laser treatment.

Ask Before Taking Medications

Some medications, especially those such as antibiotics which are photosensitive, can cause skin to become irritated after hair removal laser treatment.  If you plan to take any medications prior to laser hair removal, we advise that you check with us before doing so.  We also recommend staying away from certain topicals such as those that contain retinoid and alpha hydroxyl a few days prior to hair removal laser treatment.

Stock Up on Moisturizers and Lotions

You should apply plenty of moisturizers and lotions after hair removal laser treatment.  This will help keep your skin from drying out and also soothe the areas treated.

If you are seeking to find a professional laser hair removal center for permanent hair removal, Manhattan Laser Centers is the place for you. Our qualified team of laser hair removal professionals pride themselves on providing the best hair removal treatment services in New York City and surrounding areas.
