Laser hair removal is a safe, efficient solution to unwanted hair growth. It works best on dark-coloured follicles due to how laser light targets pigment directly and damages only that area instead of harming other areas of the body like skin or surrounding tissue.
Shave the area that will be treated on the day prior to your appointment and avoid plucking, waxing and using sunless tanning creams in the weeks preceding it.
Hair Type
Lasers work by emitting a beam of high-heat laser light that is absorbed by melanin in hair follicles, turning into heat to disable them without harming surrounding skin cells. Hair follicles produce new hair strands; when disabled they cannot produce anymore – much more effectively than shaving, tweezing, or waxing which only remove hair on the surface layer of skin.
As hair growth occurs in cycles, it is necessary to return for multiple laser treatment sessions in order to see results. Most patients require multiple sessions in order to reach their desired goal.
While going through laser hair removal, you should also avoid sun exposure and tanning beds, as these can increase skin hyperpigmentation – a potential side effect of treatment. Furthermore, it would be prudent to avoid plucking or tweezing prior to laser treatment, which may make the treatment less efficient.
Laser hair removal may not provide a permanent solution, but it can significantly reduce unwanted hairs in an area for several months or more. Furthermore, treatments have shown to cause your new growth to be lighter, finer and fewer than its former version.
Based on your skin tone and hair color, more than one laser hair removal session may be needed in order to reach the results that meet your expectations. While laser hair removal can be effective for nearly everyone, no single treatment approach fits everyone perfectly.
As the best way to determine whether laser hair removal is suitable for you, schedule a free consultation with an experienced aesthetician. At your appointment, your aesthetician will examine your skin tone and hair type to ensure the laser treatment will be safe for you, discuss options available to you for hair-removal, answer any queries and provide answers to any concerns that may arise during treatment and answer any queries that arise during or following your consultation session. After this step has taken place, a treatment appointment can be set at your convenient time slot.
Skin Tone
Laser technology has made hair removal simpler for people with dark complexions, making long-term results much simpler to attain. Lasers use pulsed light to target and destroy dark pigment in hair follicles while also discoloring surrounding skin pigmentation around these follicles; this may lead to discoloration unless working with an advanced clinic with advanced cosmetic lasers, like Lumenis LightSheer QUATTRO’s longer wavelength for treating all skin tones, including dark complexions.
Before initiating laser treatments, your practitioner will meet with you to assess both your skin tone and hair color, possibly suggesting topical anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort during the procedure. After setting up their machine to your unique skin and hair colors, they use the laser handpiece to pass over the area where unwanted hair exists; each pulse of light feels similar to rubber band snapping against your skin as the laser flashes its pulses of light; these pulses not only destroy unwanted hair but will prevent future growth incorrectly as well.
After your session, it’s essential to protect the skin by limiting sun exposure and other heat treatments in order to promote healing. In addition, any products containing fragrances or perfumes, makeup and hot baths/saunas should also be avoided as much as possible – although showering and bathing is fine; hot baths/saunas and chlorinated pools should be avoided for swimming purposes if possible. You may experience redness or swelling; these should subside within hours.
As opposed to shaving and waxing, laser hair removal offers long-term permanent solutions when performed by an experienced medical aesthetician. Although results may take multiple sessions to achieve depending on where your unwanted hair resides, laser hair removal will save both time and money in the long run by eliminating daily shaving or waxing routines.

Hair Length
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair that contains lots of pigment. As light energy from a laser travels down the shaft of a strand, it absorbs its pigment and heats up its follicle, which in turn destroys it and stops producing further hair follicles. While people with lighter locks may still undergo laser treatments, their procedure might take more time and require multiple sessions before seeing results.
Laser treatment can effectively remove facial hair growth, as well as larger areas such as legs, armpits, chest and back. Bikini area laser hair removal may also be effective against ingrown hairs. As it provides permanent removal without shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers an ideal alternative.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Feel? A laser hair removal session might feel similar to having pinpricks placed against your skin, with increased intensity if the area being treated is particularly large. Some patients describe the sensation as similar to snapping rubber bands against their skin. Sessions may last anywhere between five minutes and an hour depending on its size.
Once laser hair removal treatments are completed, your skin may become red and swollen. For six weeks following your session, avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds in that area to minimize further inflammation and allow temporary hairs to shed more often or appear longer than usual; these temporary hairs will eventually fall out leaving behind permanent reduction of hair in that treated area.
Are you tired of constantly having to shave, wax or pluck away unwanted hair? If this sounds familiar to you, Manhattan Aesthetics’ laser hair removal treatments could provide the answer – safe and effective solutions that permanently eliminate unwanted follicles from your body.
Area of Treatment
The treatment area will depend on where the unwanted hairs are present; they could be on your upper lip, legs, bikini line, underarms or chest for example. Your treatment may need to be small or larger depending on your desired result.
Before going in for laser hair removal, it’s essential that the skin be free from dirt, makeup and sun exposure for several days prior to the appointment. In addition, shaving, plucking or waxing must also be avoided in the area for several weeks prior to its scheduled treatment session.
If you opt for a clinic, ensure their practitioner is registered and certified, while also checking out their website to see what equipment they possess and treatments are offered.
Laser heat destroys cells within your hair follicles, stopping future hair growth. However, because different hair colors and skin tones reflect heat differently from laser beams, you should consult with an experienced practitioner in order to ensure your treatment is successful.
At first, laser hair removal will require multiple sessions before producing long-term results. Hair grows and sheds in cycles; your treatments should take place when follicles are in their anagen phase for optimal results. As damaged follicles fall out over time, new finer and lighter-colored strands will grow back in their place – eventually replacing damaged ones entirely with thinner and lighter locks.
Laser hair removal is an efficient, pain-free solution to unwanted hair that will restore your confidence. Many individuals are fed up with dealing with unwanted hair and its maintenance – waxing, shaving and plucking – that requires daily effort to maintain. Manhattan Aesthetics offers free consultations to help their clients reach their hair reduction goals without shaving, waxing or plucking – it offers long term reduction with natural-looking results lasting years after treatment!
