How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal uses a laser like the Excel® HR which is set at a very specific wavelength that protects your skin while eliminating only the hair follicle. Once the hair follicle dies, hair can no longer grow. At the New York Skin and Vein: now part of Schweiger Dermatology Group, we offer you the Excel® HR laser because it uses a combination of Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers, which are the two most effective options for laser hair removal. 

Many hair removal treatments won’t give you noticeable results until you’ve had 8 or 9 sessions. However, Excel® HR gives much faster results and you will see a difference after 2-5 sessions. 

Can You Do Facial Laser Hair Removal?

People often use laser hair removal treatments on their armpits or legs, but it is equally effective on your face too. Laser hair removal treatments are very safe and can be used on any area of the body, no matter how sensitive. So, it is the ideal option for removing unwanted hair from your face.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatments have a lot of benefits over other options like waxing and shaving. There is no downtime for recovery required after the treatment and they are very quick, taking around 20-30 minutes each session. 

The results of laser hair removal treatments can last for years, which means that you only need to wax and shave very occasionally. Once the hair does eventually grow back, you can have more laser treatments to prevent further growth. 

It is a completely pain-free experience, which is a huge benefit if you normally wax your hair. Laser hair removal treatments also eliminate problems with ingrown hairs, which can be incredibly painful if they become infected.
