Laser Treatment FAQ in Commack, NY

What is laser therapy used for?

Laser treatment uses an intense, narrow beam of light to remove or destroy abnormal tissue. It is often used to treat precancers on the surface of the body, such as actinic keratosis, and may be used to treat some types of skin cancer.

Is 2 sessions of laser hair removal enough?

Generally, clients need about two to six laser treatments in order to completely get rid of hair. You can expect to see about a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after your first treatment. As you continue your treatments, more and more hair will fall out, and you’ll notice that it continues to grow back more slowly.

Does hair grow thicker after laser?

In rare instances, laser hair removal may cause thicker, darker hair to grow or regrow in an adjacent area to the one being treated. This condition is known as paradoxical hypertrichosis. Paradoxical hypertrichosis can occur anywhere on the face or body.

Does plucking chin hair make it grow more?

According to Dr. Lertzman, tweezing or shaving certain areas of your face does not change how quickly the hairs grow back or how long the hairs remain on the face.

How do you prepare for laser?

Avoid waxing and plucking. Avoid direct sun exposure. Check your skincare regimen. Cleanse and Exfoliate. Wear comfortable clothing. Consult with a reliable clinic.

Why do you have to wait 7 days to shave after laser?

Is laser treatment painful for face?

Will it hurt? While laser skin treatments do work incredibly quickly, they can be slightly irritating during the treatment itself. The pain is minimal and has been compared by patients to ‘a rubber band snapping against your skin. ‘ After a few minutes, your skin becomes used to the pain and you don’t feel it anymore.

Which is better laser or chemical peel?

Laser treatments are superior to chemical peels in how controllable and precise it is. It’s easier to just target an acne scar or a few spots on the skin with a laser. The laser is also better for deep collagen remodeling. If you are trying to address wrinkles or sagging skin, lasers will be a better option.

How long do laser effects last?

On average, most patients get to enjoy silky-smooth skin that lasts for anywhere between three and five years after undergoing laser therapy. Many patients maintain treatments by returning every so often for a touch-up or supplementary skin treatment.
