Laser Hair Removal New York

I booked an appointment with a favorite doctor for Laser Hair Removal on my underarms. The doctor instructed me to let my hair grow for 2 to 3 days before coming in.

On the day of my appointment, the doctor began applying an anesthetic cream to my underarms. About thirty minutes later, the cream had taken effect and we were ready to begin.

The Laser Hair Removal procedure itself is very quick and mildly uncomfortable at worst. I was told that the feeling was akin to someone snapping a rubber band on your skin. In my experience, that was an exaggeration as I found Laser Hair Removal to be fast and pain free.

I was asked to don a pair of goggles before the doctor began my Laser Hair Removal treatment, essentially zapping the hair follicles with the laser. The laser emits a beam of light that destroys the hair follicle without destroying the surrounding skin.

My actual Laser Hair Removal treatment took about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. After the treatment, my underarms did sting a bit; the feeling similar to a mild sunburn.

Many first timers are surprised that there is no immediate hair loss; not to worry, within ten days the treated area should be hair free. For complete and permanent hair removal or reduction, a series of Laser Hair Removal treatments is usually needed.

Unbelievably, after just one treatment I was completely hair free for more than four weeks. After that, the hair did start growing back and my doctor suggested that I come back for another Laser Hair Removal treatment. Traditionally, a series of five to six treatments is required.

I couldn't be happier with my newfound freedom from shaving and stubble and I'd rate the results as remarkable!
