What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal Overview

If you have unwanted body hair and are fed up with shaving, waxing, and tweezing, then laser hair removal could be the answer to all of your prayers. Unlike other temporary hair removal procedures, laser hair removal is permanent, destroying the hair follicle so that your unwanted body hair will never grow back.

During your laser hair removal treatment, one of our experienced practitioners will apply a localized numbing cream to the area to ensure that you feel no pain during the procedure. They will then use a purpose-built handset that has been calibrated to your skin type, skin color, hair color, and hair thickness to administer intense pulses of light.

These intense pulses of light will heat and destroy your unwanted hair follicles while leaving your skin unharmed. Over the course of several treatments, the destroyed hair follicles will eventually fall from the body entirely, leaving you with far more delicate and less noticeable body hair in your affected areas.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the US, enabling men and women to regain confidence in their skin by removing their unwanted body hair. Some of the benefits of a laser hair removal treatment include;

It’s Efficiency

The lasers used during laser hair removal are extremely precise and can be used to selectively target dark and coarse hairs whilst leaving the surrounding skin completely unharmed. Each pulse of light only takes a fraction of a second to administer and can treat a quarter-sized area every second. This means that even more extensive hair removal treatments, such as those on the legs, only take around one hour.

Permanent Hair Loss

Unlike shaving, waxing, and tweezing, laser hair removal offers a permanent solution. Most laser hair removal patients see permanent hair loss in their affected areas within three to seven sessions, depending on their hair type and thickness.

No Downtime

As a non-surgical procedure, laser hair removal also has no downtime allowing patients to get back to their routine straight away. In fact, the process is so efficient that many patients choose to schedule their hair removal treatment on their lunch break.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal can be used to treat unwanted hair on any part of the body, including the upper lip, arms, legs, armpits, face, brows, ears, back, and bikini area. After the procedure, we advise that patients apply a copper moisturizer or aloe vera gel to the treatment area to help reduce redness and warn against the use of tanning beds and tanning creams for two weeks whilst the area heals. Here at Manhatten Aesthetics, our lasers are safe for many different skin tones ranging from 1-6, making virtually anyone with unwanted hair on their body or face a good candidate for laser hair removal. To ensure that you are a good candidate, your hair removal specialist will assess your skin type and hair condition at the time of your initial consultation.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Yesterday I tried Thermiaesthetic which is ThermiSmooth Skin Tightening. I ran over on my lunch break and LoLa who was the Esthetician couldn’t have been nicer! She rubbed a ton of gel on my lower face and neck with my clothes covered with towels then came the funny device. I was nervous as she said I might be a little red after, but I wasn’t at all! The treatment itself was pleasant and I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed! Then the gel was cleaned off about 25 minutes later and then I was good to go! I went back to the office and they were none the wiser! My skin already looks tighter although she recommended another couple of treatments. Which at the price point is affordable. If you need a little lift with no down time I can’t recommend it enough! Plus everyone at Manhattan Aesthetics was delightful!"*

"My experience getting SculpSure at Manhattan Aesthetics was top of the line. The people there are incredibly friendly and the office is spotless and gorgeous. The process of SculpSure is much more efficient than Cool Sculpting, it is less painful and takes less time. I was targeting my abs and as mentioned, the first 5 minutes is challenging but once I was acclimated to the heating and cooling sensations (plus my tech did massage my legs during) it was easy and I was done in 25 minutes. Afterward there was no pain or redness so I decided to do more applicators on my lower back (love handles). The follow up is to simply massage the area twice a day and drink lots of water. It is non-invasive and though I just had it done yesterday, I literally have NO after pain and I am excited to see the results! Five stars for a great experience at Manhattan Aesthetics."*

"I had coolsculpting last year and never got much of a result so decided to try sculpsure at Manhattan Aesthetics. I did 8 applicators targeting my abdomen and love handles. Layla my technician warned me the first 4 minutes would be uncomfortable so she distracted me by keeping me company and massaging my leg. After this it was it was easy, painless and actually kind of fun. I have to say the procedure was dramatically faster and less painful than coolsculpting and saw an incredible result. The best part was no downtime whatsoever-the next day I did feel sore like I did an intense ab workout. Definitely better than liposuction-sculpsure 5 stars Layla 5 stars Manhattan Aesthetics 5 stars"*

"I am totally addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics! Chelsea and Craig are so pleasant, kind and helpful. It’s always so nice to see them. The space is gorgeous. Both Lola and Natalie are great!! I couldn’t be happier with the first procedure I have received from Lola. Results were visible weeks before the suggested 6 week mark. I am currently undergoing the ThermiSmooth and will have to wait out the results but I will come back to update. I want to try the microneedling and photofacial next. I am addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics and the wonderful staff here. I came in through a groupon offer and I have no intentions of straying."*

"I am absolutely happy with the service I received at Manhattan Aesthetics. Everyone there is super nice, very friendly. Their office is pretty nice and clean. They have these candles at the front desk that smell fantastic and the melody makes you feel relaxed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone."*

"My experience was nothing short of amazing! the entire staff, specifically Craig, Chelsey and Natalie could not have been more informative, helpful and caring! I learned the hard way that body contouring does in fact work after a long painful expensive bout with coolsculpting at skinney medspa. I then purchased the 4 applicator special at Manhattan Aesthetics for the sculpSURE laser. After 3-4 weeks my flanks were dramatically less bulky with a very noticeable definition. I have since treated my inner thighs and outer thighs. Everything about my experience and the procedure has been phenomenal!"*

"Manhattan Aesthetics is 5 stars the knowledge of the staff is second to none and I could not be happier with my results. I was referred by a friend and have done both sculpsure and trusculpt and am extremely pleased with the result. Natalie was unbelievable in recommending the best possible treatment to ensure I not only lost my stomach but tightened the skin as well. Chelsea is amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was seen without a wait."*
