Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution for touchably soft, hairless legs, armpits, backs, and more. LM Medical NYC offers laser hair removal at our Downtown NYC location. Stop the cycle of stubble and hair and skin ripping, and put an end to your battle with unwanted hair with laser hair removal in New York City from Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-painful treatment to eliminate hair follicles. A laser device targets unwanted hair, using light energy to destroy hair follicles. The sessions can last up to an hour, depending on the size of the area covered. Most individuals require 6-8 sessions, spaced about 6-8 weeks apart, to completely deactivate most hair follicles in the targeted area. Some of the popular target areas of the body to be treated include:

  • Armpits
  • Back
  • Bikini area
  • Chest
  • Facial areas
  • Legs

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting laser hair removal in New York City is to schedule an in-person visit with Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach. During the consultation, you can discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations for the procedure with Dr. Rabach. It is important to be honest about your medications, as certain antibiotics or other photosensitizing medications might interact with laser treatment.

Dr. Rabach will examine your target areas and outline the treatment, including its associated risks and benefits. At the end of the consultation, we aim to arrive at a mutually agreed-upon treatment plan. Patients can share this plan with the patient concierge for scheduling and pricing information.

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

On the day of your laser hair removal, Dr. Rabach will welcome you to the LM Medical NYC office in Downtown NYC and ensure your comfort. They will review your treatment plan to address any outstanding questions or concerns. Finally, a cold gel or a cooling device may be applied to protect the skin, and you will be given protective eyewear.

Once you are ready, Dr. Rabach will deliver pulses of light to the target area. Patients might feel a slight prickly sensation in the skin. This discomfort subsides with subsequent treatments. Once the procedure is complete, you will be given a cooling ointment or ice packs to help reduce any redness and pain.

The procedure’s duration varies with the size of the target area. It can last from a few minutes to an hour or longer.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

After the procedure, patients might have redness and swelling in the target area. They are encouraged to use an ice pack and apply aloe vera gel or calming creams for 3 days after the treatment.

Further, it is important to wear loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated area, stay hydrated, and use medical-grade sunscreen for the week after treatment.
