Many people are plagued with unwanted hair on their face and body, laser hair removal in NYC is the best way to eliminate unwanted and excess hair once and for all. Other methods, including waxing, plucking and the use of depilatories are not effective in the long run, the hair simply grows back.
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure, it uses a pulsed light laser; the light beam passes through the skin to a specific hair follicle. Although there is very little discomfort associated with the treatment the laser beam is hot enough to destroy the hair follicle, the hair falls out after a period of time and new hair growth is inhibited. As the treatment affects the pigment, people with light skin and dark hair are the best candidates.
Laser hair removal in NYC is a treatment sought by those who have unwanted hair. Although hair can grow on almost all parts of the body, the common targets for laser hair removal include legs, underarms, the upper lip and the bikini line. The only places that can’t be treated are areas in close proximity to the eyes.
The color of the individual’s hair and skin are the two factors that influence the success of the treatment. The best candidates are people with hair which is darker than their skin. The reason for this is quite simple; both skin and hair contain melanin, a pigment. The darker the target the more pigment it contains, hence the heat from the laser will target it rather than the skin pigment. Although this is generally true, there have been advances in the technology that make the process a viable option for those with dark skin.
If you have decided to go ahead with the treatment make sure you choose a spa where the laser specialist is a certified professional. Before you finally make up your mind it is advisable to arrange for an initial consultation. The laser specialist will take this opportunity to review any medications that you may be taking, discuss in detail the procedure and take photos of the area which can be used later to assess the results. At the same time, you will be given tips on how best to prepare for laser hair removal. You will be told to avoid the sun and avoid any other method of hair removal for about six weeks prior to your scheduled treatment.
After about a month the dead hair simply falls out, when this happens you will be left with soft, silky skin with no evidence of any unwanted hair.
