Unwanted hair can be an embarrassment. Shaving, tweezing and waxing can take time and effort – and sometimes cause pain – but laser treatment offers a quick solution with no irritation to eliminate unwanted hair quickly and permanently.
Laser treatments use intense light beams to target hair follicles. As they absorb this energy, pigment absorbs it, which destroys it and stops future hair growth.
Benefits
Many individuals suffer from unwanted hair on their faces or bodies. Shaving, depilatories, plucking and waxing only provide temporary solutions; laser hair removal offers an effective permanent solution when multiple treatments have been completed. Laser technology targets hair follicles for destruction in order to stop new growth over time, leaving skin soft and smooth in appearance and feel.
Laser hair removal is generally pain-free. We apply topical anesthetic before each session in order to minimize discomfort during treatment and then turn on a cool air machine during your procedure for added comfort. After treatment, mild redness usually subsides within 24 hours – an unexpected side effect!
Cynosure Elite+ is an all-in-one laser system. Combining 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers in one device enables us to treat patients of various skin colors simultaneously. Prior to advancements in laser technology, patients with darker skin could not be treated effectively with traditional lasers due to risks of hypopigmentation (a loss in pigment).
After your treatment, you’ll be free to resume all of your usual daily activities. In many instances, most patients notice their hair regrowing with lighter color and finer texture compared to what it had been prior – which indicates its success!
Laser hair removal differs significantly from shaving, depilatories and waxing in that there is no downtime associated with treatment and most patients can resume their daily lives almost immediately after their session – although sun and hot bath avoidance should be observed for 24 hours post-session.
Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution for unwanted hair, unlike shaving, waxing and depilatories which must be done repeatedly over time. When hair does grow back after treatment it tends to be lighter in color and texture making it less visible, making for an overall more pleasing aesthetic result.
Cost
Unwanted hair is a frequent concern among both men and women. Removing unwanted hair via traditional methods such as shaving, tweezing and waxing can be cumbersome and inconvenient; not to mention painful. Laser hair removal provides a painless solution to reduce unwanted hair without hassle or discomfort from traditional treatment options.
At the core of laser hair removal lies an emission of light energy into each target hair follicle. As its targeted pigment absorbs this light energy, destroying it and stopping future hair growth, its precise wavelength and powerful pulse makes this treatment highly effective in permanently reducing unwanted hair. Although results vary for each person, most achieve permanent reduction after three to seven treatment sessions on average.
When considering laser hair removal, it’s essential to locate a trustworthy provider. Laser treatments require medical expertise, so make sure your provider holds a valid license in your state and has experience performing laser treatments. Read online reviews or solicit recommendations from friends and family as part of your search for an excellent provider.
Before your laser hair removal session, we advise shaving the area to be treated. This will make it easier for our team of specialists to locate and target hair follicles more accurately with laser light. Afterward, they’ll conduct a comprehensive skin analysis and adjust laser settings according to your complexion using our advanced Cynosure Elite+ system, which integrates two laser wavelengths – Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers combined into one system allowing us to treat both light and dark complexioned patients alike.
After your treatments, your hair may grow back in some patches but it should be lighter and finer than before treatment. Once completed, you should enjoy months or years of silky skin without needing laser hair removal sessions again!
Side Effects
Contrary to shaving, waxing, or other hair removal methods, laser technology offers permanent solutions and long-term results. At less than the cost of monthly waxes, laser can provide long-term hair reduction so that you can focus your time and attention on other endeavors.
At our facility, we will use topical anesthetic to make your experience as painless as possible and use a cool air machine to ensure maximum comfort during treatment. It is advised to refrain from plucking, waxing, or using creams on the area at least a month before scheduling treatment, while staying out of direct sunlight as much as possible as sun rays can lead to hyperpigmentation on the skin.
The procedure begins by moving a laser device across your skin in order to target every hair follicle, and once its light energy reaches them it begins destroying them and interfering with their ability to produce hair. You may experience slight discomfort similar to pinpricking during this process and you can expect several pulses of light from our laser, depending on how large an area we are treating.
Once your treatment has concluded, it is normal for redness or swelling of the treatment area to appear; this should subside within several days with use of cold compress. While some individuals can achieve their desired hair removal results with five sessions alone, we typically suggest six-8 for optimal results.

Schedule Your Consultation
Are You Tired of Shaving, Waxing or Plucking Unwanted Hair? Laser Hair Removal may be an ideal solution. This non-invasive treatment uses pulsed light energy from a laser beam to penetrate skin layers where it damages and destroys hair follicles – leaving surrounding tissue undamaged by this safe procedure. Laser hair removal offers an alternative that’s both effective, safe and noninvasive than more invasive approaches like Tweezing or Electrolysis.
Prior to treatment, one of our staff will conduct a detailed skin evaluation and tailor our machine settings specifically for you and your hair color, so as to provide optimal treatment outcomes. When treatment begins, a cold sensation from the chilled tip of the laser handpiece touches your skin; next comes pulses that mimic rubber band snapping; these pulses continue until all areas of unwanted hair have been targeted by laser.
Following your treatment, you can resume normal activities immediately. Some individuals may experience a slight sunburn-like sensation for several hours after treatment, which will gradually subside. Depending on your skin type and area being treated, multiple sessions may be required in order to achieve the optimal results.
At Best Laser Hair Removal Smithtown NY, we use the Elite+ Aesthetic Workstation for safe, pain-free and efficient treatment experiences. Unlike previous technologies, its dual wavelength system enables it to treat lighter as well as darker skin tones by employing two laser wavelengths simultaneously.
Before beginning treatment, your provider will apply a moisturizing gel to protect the surface of your skin and then switch on their laser device to deliver an initial pulse of energy to help you become familiar with it. Most patients report feeling similar to when rubber bands snap against skin – it’s only temporary!
Laser hair removal is considered medical treatment in 35 states; however, there are no national regulations for licensing and training of nonmedical personnel who provide it. Therefore, consumers seeking laser hair removal should do their research and find a licensed provider with extensive experience in the field.
