How Laser Hair Removal Can Help You

Unwanted hair can be embarrassing and damage your self-confidence. Plucking, shaving, and waxing take time. There is a more permanent, effective solution to remove unwanted hair: laser hair removal. The dermatologists at South Nassau Dermatology offer a full range of medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including laser hair removal. They have several locations in Oceanside, Levittown, and Long Beach, NY.

How you look is important. When you look great, your self-confidence gets a boost. Unfortunately, unwanted hair can make you self-conscious about your appearance. If you are dealing with unwanted hair, you are probably tired of the time-consuming task of plucking, shaving, or waxing, only to see the hair grow back a short time later.

Laser hair removal is unique. The heat and light from the short laser pulses damage the hair follicle, so hair doesn't grow back. Unlike electrolysis, laser hair removal can work on both small and large areas of your body, including your upper lip, chin, sideburns, underarms, back, legs, and bikini line.

When you choose laser hair removal, you will enjoy important benefits. Consider that laser hair removal treatment is fast, because each laser pulse is only a fraction of a second; safe, because your dermatologist supervises laser treatment; more comfortable, because the laser only damages the hair follicle, not the surrounding skin; and effective, because about 90% of people experience permanent hair loss after three to five sessions.

Laser hair removal treatment may require four to eight sessions to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments every four to eight weeks may be recommended depending on the area treated to maintain your results.
