Custom Fit the Hair Removal Treatment That Works Best for You

Laser Hair Removal Options

When going in for permanent removal of unwanted hair, you’ll want to pick the laser treatment service that best suits your skin and type of hair on your face and body. Laser Hair Removal NYC has the most current laser and IPL technology and three types of treatment options. No two people will have the same needs or bodies and only a dermatologist can help you decide what’s best for you. Below is some laser hair removal information that a dermatologist can discuss in further detail with you.

The Diode Laser System has been referred to as the “gold standard” for hair removal. It can treat all skin types including tanned skin along with most hair colors. The system emits a laser very close to infrared and gets absorbed by the pigment in your hair follicles. The laser treatment itself is a pulsing that is only a fraction of a second, just long enough to remove the hair from the follicle. Your will feel enhanced comfort during your treatment, because it’s quick and this system uses a unique cooling hand piece.

Sciton or Yag laser hair removal is a newer technique that can be used on all skin types, but is best for darker or suntanned skin and coarse hair. It’s the only laser hair removal treatment that works on dark or suntanned skinned. It’s not recommended for darkly pigmented skin or white or light hair. It is also less effective on fine hair.  It’s used with a fast repetition and covers a larger area, which allows quicker treatment on larger body areas.

IPL laser treatment is best for fair-skinned people with dark hair that’s fine to coarse. Technically, IPL is not a laser, but is a wand that uses white light with many frequencies. This treatment takes 30 minutes or less and lets you get back to work or on with your day. IPL can be used to improve a wide range of skin problems including sun damage, wrinkles, stretch marks and age spots, in addition to permanent hair removal.
