Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Most of our NYC patients find laser hair removal to be minimally painful. The most you might feel is a sensation similar to the brief snap of a rubber band against the skin. We will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic prior to applying the laser energy, which will maximize your comfort and peace of mind.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Each patient will require a different number of sessions, depending on their goals and the extent of hair present in the targeted area. Your hair type, hair color, and skin tone will also influence your treatment plan. Most can benefit from 4-6 appointments in New York City or New Jersey.

How Long Until I See the Results?

The standard amount of time needed to see the full benefits of the treatment is usually around 12 weeks. This is because hair grows in cycles, and not all hair will be targeted in a single session. Multiple visits are typically needed in order to achieve a comprehensive outcome.

Can I Combine Laser Hair Removal with Other Procedures?

Yes, of course! At Inside Beauty in NYC, we offer a wide range of transformative cosmetic procedures to help you achieve your individual goals for success. During your private consultation, we can discuss your options for a combination treatment plan in more detail.

What Are the Risks Associated with Laser Hair Removal?

While our providers always strive to minimize the likelihood of complications by carefully screening each patient and adhering to strict safety protocols, certain risks do exist with laser hair removal, including the following: Pain Bruising Swelling Redness Inflammation Blistering Herpes breakouts Bacterial infection Changes in skin color Scarring

No More Unwanted Hair, with laser hair removal

If you are frustrated by painful, time-consuming hair removal methods, such as shaving, waxing, and tweezing, you may be delighted to know that there is an easier and faster way to achieve the smooth skin you desire. Our customized laser hair removal sessions at Inside Beauty in New York City and New Jersey can enhance your confidence and boost your comfort. We can perform sessions on the legs, back, arms, abdomen, bikini area, face, and neck, yielding powerful results.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a rapid and sophisticated method of eradicating unwanted hair from the face, neck, back, legs, arms, and other regions. The laser device emits potent light wavelengths that are drawn to the darker pigments in the hair follicles. Once the follicles absorb the heat, the body is unable to produce new hair. With a series of laser hair removal appointments, the skin becomes softer and smoother, leaving you feeling more confident and secure in your appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

When laser hair removal is performed by our precision-oriented practitioners in New York, patients enjoy the following key benefits:

Permanently reduces 10%-15% of hair per treatment
Safe, easy, and proven effective
Softens & smooths your skin
Works on all skin types
Saves you time and money by not shaving or waxing
Allows you to say goodbye to ingrown hairs and razor burn

Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?

The ideal way to determine your candidacy is to meet with our experienced practitioners on the Upper East Side or in New Jersey for a private consultation. While most patients will qualify for laser hair removal, the treatment is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women or for those taking certain medications. Individuals who are prone to keloid scarring should also avoid laser hair removal, as should those who have active skin cancer or who have dealt with skin cancer in the past.

What’s the First Step?

Your journey to softer, smoother skin begins with a private consultation and medical assessment with our team in New York. We will discuss your goals, address your questions, and ensure you fully understand the risks, downtime, and associated costs of the procedure.

Once your treatment date has been set, we will ask you to observe the following guidelines:

Stay out of direct sunlight for a few weeks before your treatment.
Don’t use harsh skincare products for 2-3 days before laser hair removal. Refrain from using products containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinol.
Shave the targeted area 24 hours before your appointment.
Avoid shaving or waxing between sessions.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to the office.
Arrive for your appointment with clean, dry skin, and avoid using oils, creams, cosmetics, or lotions.

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

The treatment process for laser hair removal is considered painless and stress-free by most of our New York City patients. We will first numb your skin with a topical anesthetic in order to promote comfort and peace of mind. Once you are relaxed, we will apply the laser hand piece to the targeted regions, directing powerful light energy to tackle stubborn hair follicles and eradicate them for good. The laser energy only affects the hair follicles and does not cause damage to the surrounding healthy skin cells.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Laser hair removal in New York City and New Jersey is associated with minimal downtime, allowing our busy and active patients to quickly resume their normal schedules. In terms of side effects, you may notice some minor redness and swelling, but these symptoms are not significant enough to prevent you from enjoying the rest of your day and returning to work or school. For the first 24 hours after your session, you should take care to avoid exposure to intense heat, such as saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, showers, tanning beds, and going to the beach. Also, avoid using harsh skin care products and exfoliators for the first seven days to allow your skin ample time to heal fully.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in New York City, NY?

The cost of laser hair removal in the greater New York area may vary depending on the areas of the body targeted, the extent of hair growth present, and whether your session is paired with other aesthetic options. The best method of obtaining a clear, all-inclusive price quote is to first attend a private consultation with our team on the Upper East Side or in New Jersey.

I booked the Hydration Steam Facial after my skin was feeling so extremely dry and dull, and I’m so glad I did!
