How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

We use Excel® HR for our laser hair removal treatments at New York Skin & Vein Clinic. Excel® HR is the most advanced, non-invasive hair removal system on the market. 

Excel’s laser technology effectively targets hair follicles and causes them to overheat without ever harming surrounding tissue or causing discomfort. 

Laser hair removal with Excel®HR is the best option for those looking to permanently remove their unwanted hair. It uses two different types of lasers which makes it effective on both light and dark skins. 

Excel®HR will effectively help you get rid of unwanted hair without damaging your skin. Hair removal treatments with Excel®HR are not only more effective than other laser techniques but also less time-consuming. You can expect to see a major improvement within a few sessions.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

You’re a good candidate for laser hair removal if you have realistic expectations about getting rid of unwanted hair. Our Excel®HR can work effectively on any skin type or tone without any risk. It can even be used to remove hair on sensitive areas.

During your consultation with Dr. Dohner, he can conduct a test on a small area so that you can have a first-hand experience of what the laser treatment will feel like before deciding if it is a procedure that you would like to continue.

Is There Any Downtime?

Our laser hair removal at New York Skin & Vein Clinic is painless, quick, and effective. There is no downtime with laser hair removal thanks to the patented Sapphire tip cooling system which keeps your skin safe from any damage.

You can resume your regular activities after your procedure. However, it is advisable to avoid sun tanning after your treatment for at least 7 days. If you will have a series of hair removal sessions, make sure you consider the timing of your next session before you engage in any activities like bleaching or waxing your hair in the treatment area.
