How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Your practitioner will begin by selecting an appropriate handpiece to treat the desired area and will calibrate the laser to your individual skin color, hair color, and hair thickness. Afterward, the handpiece is passed directly over the treatment area in order to break down hair at the base. Damaged follicles eventually fall from the body leaving you with finer, less noticeable hair.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
All our lasers are safe for all different types of skin tones ranging from 1-6 making laser hair removal a possibility for nearly anyone. If you’re bothered by unwanted hair throughout the face and body, you may be a good fit for the procedure. Your hair removal specialist will help determine your candidacy for the laser treatments at the time of your initial consultation.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Hair removal with laser treatments is possible virtually anywhere unwanted hair exists. Whether you’d like to remove facial peach fuzz from the chin, between the brows, or on top of the ears, laser hair removal can help. Treatments are also great for removing hair on larger areas of the body such as the underarm area, legs, bikini area, back, and more.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"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."*
~ B Jacquez
"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!"*
~ Julia L
"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."*

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure. We offer a topical numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort during your procedure. Laser hair removal treatments typically last between 10-minutes and 1-hour, depending on the areas being treated, and result in an 85% reduction of hair. All procedures are performed by either a doctor or a medical aesthetician under the close supervision of our world-renowned medical director.
What Results Will I See?*
Laser hair removal will significantly reduce hair in the targeted area. You can expect to achieve an 85% hair reduction upon completion of your treatments. Some of our patients have achieved as much as a 99% hair reduction. However, results will vary from patient to patient. We offer touch-up sessions as future hormone changes may cause hair to regrow in previously treated areas.
Treatments are only able to remove hairs that are in their active growth phase. Most patients require a minimum of 6 sessions when targeting body areas. If you are targeting the face, a minimum of 8 sessions is typically required to complete your treatment. Each subsequent session provides smoother skin with fewer and less noticeable hairs.
Is There Any Downtime?
Laser hair removal doesn’t require any downtime. You can get back to most normal activities without restriction. However, we recommend, applying aloe vera gel or a copper moisturizer to prevent redness within the first 2-hours following treatment. Most patients are able to schedule their hair removal treatments during their lunch break and get back to work immediately.
You should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanning creams for up to 2-weeks. Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24-hours and avoid exfoliating the treated areas until you notice the hair has fallen out.
