Why Commit To Laser Hair Removal?

Women and men both suffer equally when it comes to unwanted hair on the face and body. For females, facial hair is a major aggravation (e.g., lip hair, chin hair), as well dealing with the unending chore (and discomfort!) of regular leg and bikini waxing. For males, the pressure to groom and ‘manscape’ can lead to anxiety over excessive back, shoulder, and chest hair for example.

Sure, shaving and waxing provide a temporary solution, but these options are severely limited at maintaining the hair-free parts you desire. It’s time to make a commitment to permanent hair removal ladies and gentlemen! 

Does Laser Hair Removal Permanently Remove Hair?

Yes, laser hair removal for the face and hair removal for the body is highly successful and effective. A laser treatment targets actively growing hair to produce the best results: the laser device heats the whole hair shaft which weakens the hair follicle causing it to detach from the shaft, as a result hair will not grow back in the laser treated area. 

Our Long Island laser hair removal experts take the time to understand your grooming and beauty goals. At Este New York we acknowledge your desire to reduce and remove hair from your body is a personal choice and we are here to support you on that journey.

Why Does It Take More Than One Laser Treatment To Remove Hair?

This is a very important question, and there is a valid reason why it can sometimes take several treatment sessions to fully remove all unwanted hair from a particular body part. For laser hair removal to be successful, the hairs being ‘zapped’ by the laser must be in a stage of active growth (i.e., in the anagen phase of hair growth).

As each hair grows at a different rate, it is impossible to target all the hair in the treatment area at once. For instance, some hair might be in the active growth stage, while some hair will be in the resting stage.

How Long Is The Hair Removal Treatment Timeline? 

The reason why laser hair removal can take a bit of time is that only 20% of your hair is in the active or anagen stage at one time. To recap, only hair in the active stage can be effectively targeted by laser treatment. The good news is you will be rebooked for further laser hair removal treatments to capture the remaining hairs as they enter their active growth cycle, making them ripe for permanent removal. For example, the industry standard for laser hair removal on the legs is approximately six treatment sessions. A relatively short-term investment of time for a lifetime of hair-free legs!  

Honestly, the treatment timeline will vary from person to person. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, skin color, hair thickness, and the area being treated all play a role in how long it will take to see final results. However, you can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment; most people need two to six laser treatments to remove unwanted hair. 

Laser treatments are typically recommended every six weeks to stay on top of the hair growth cycle. You will notice results after each session. By the time you have your final treatment session, you will see a massive reduction in visible hair and hair growth in the treatment area. Now, on occasion, some hair may reappear in the treatment area, but you can have a laser follow-up treatment to eliminate any rogue hairs. Follow-up laser treatments are a good idea to maintain long-term results.

How Does Este’s Laser Hair Removal New York Treatment Work?

Our Este Medical Group clinics worldwide use the latest technology for laser hair removal: Soprano Platinum and Soprano Titanium machines, as well as the Candela laser hair removal machine.
