Are you tired of shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted facial or body hair? Do you wish you could get laser hair removal and enjoy the long-lasting results, but cannot afford to pay for it all at once?

Well, you are in luck.

Benefits of Financing

By financing your laser hair removal treatment, you can finally get rid of that unwanted “unibrow” or pesky underarm hair, even if you previously thought that you could not afford to. In addition, you can save your cash for unforeseen emergency expenses, such as medical or car repair bills.

Not to mention that the New York laser treatment providers at Laser Cosmetica offer great financing rates and special incentives. Additionally, qualified customers may be eligible for exclusive promotions or package discounts.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal works at the root of the problem (pun intended). The knowledgeable staff at Laser Cosmetica aims a laser beam at each hair’s follicle, destroying the follicle and arresting future hair growth in the treated area. Although patients may see their hair growing slower, finer or lighter after one treatment, six laser hair removal treatments are usually required for exceptional results. Typically, at the conclusion of the treatment sessions, 80 to 100 percent of the unwanted hair has been removed.

In addition to this revolutionary hair removal treatment, Laser Cosmetica also offers chemical peels, microdermabrasion, skin tightening and cellulite reduction in New York.

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way for many individuals to get rid of unwanted facial or body hair. Not to mention, the results are extremely long-lasting. For individuals who are tired of shaving, waxing or tweezing, laser hair removal may be a great alternative. And, compared to the lifetime costs associated with waxing or shaving, laser hair removal is an affordable option.

How Laser Hair Removal Treatments Are Performed

The laser hair removal New York City providers at Laser Cosmetica aim a concentrated beam of light at each strand of hair in the area to be treated. Pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which in turn hinders hair follicles from generating future growth.

Things to Keep in Mind

First, multiple treatment sessions are needed to obtain maximum results with laser hair removal. Individuals with lighter-colored hair may need more sessions than those with darker hair.

Second, laser hair removal is not for everyone. Individuals with very light hair (i.e., white, blond or red hair) may not be good candidates because the laser cannot detect very light hair. Similarly, individuals with dark hair and dark skin may also not be suitable candidates for laser hair removal. This is because the laser requires a significant variation between the color of the hair and skin to target the hair follicle properly.

Third, laser hair removal is intended for long-term results. However, certain biological processes, such as pregnancy, may reverse the effects of laser hair removal.

The good news is that Laser Cosmetica offers free touch-up treatments for clients who follow the proper treatment protocol. For more information about the free touch-up program, feel free to speak with the knowledgeable staff at Laser Cosmetica.

Ways to Make Laser Hair Removal Even More Affordable

In addition to the large amount of money that clients save by choosing laser hair removal instead of a lifetime of waxing, Laser Cosmetica offers several ways to make laser hair removal even more affordable.

For instance, Laser Cosmetica offers treatment packages, so clients save money when they purchase multiple treatments together. Additionally, Laser Cosmetica offers promotional discounts on some of their services, as well as financing options. Please contact Laser Cosmetica at (866) 315-3630 to find out how you can save on laser hair removal costs.

For clients who do not need laser hair removal but would like to experience the benefits of laser treatments, Laser Cosmetica also offers laser skin resurfacing and laser acne therapy in New York. And, Laser Cosmetica offers clients in New York microdermabrasion andchemical peels to help skin look its best.

In general, laser hair removal is a safe, effective and long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted body and facial hair —  when performed by a qualified doctor or registered nurse. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are minimal risks associated with laser hair removal, especially if the procedure is not carried out by an experienced professional.

Rare Risks Associated with Laser Hair Removal

Blistering – Though rare, blisters, burns and scars are all risks associated with laser hair removal. To protect skin and lessen the small risk of these unpleasant effects, be sure to avoid exposing treated areas to the sun in the days following treatment.

Temporary redness – Some patients may experience temporary redness or swelling of the treated area following a laser hair removal session. Redness or swelling should disappear within several hours. However, if these symptoms persist, contact the experienced staff at Laser Cosmetica.

Change in skin pigmentation – Another uncommon side effect of laser hair removal may is hyperpigmentation of the skin being treated. Although any change in skin pigmentation is usually temporary, some patients may experience permanent hyperpigmentation. Patients with darker skin may be more prone to this and should discuss any concerns with their laser hair removal New York provider Laser Cosmetica.

Varying results – Lastly, results from laser hair removal vary from person to person. Typically, patients whose skin color contrasts more with the color of their hair achieve better results. Also, individuals with white or blond hair may not be suitable candidates for laser hair removal because the laser cannot properly detect extremely light hair. To find out if you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal, please contact the Laser Cosmetica staff at (866) 315-3630.

To lessen the uncommon risks associated with laser hair removal, it is crucial to consult a qualified doctor or registered nurse prior to starting treatment. The knowledgeable team at Laser Cosmetica is qualified to perform laser hair removal, as well as laser acne therapy and laser skin resurfacing in New York City. In addition, the Laser Cosmetica staff is qualified to offer clients in New York wrinkle reduction and cellulite reduction treatments to help them look and feel their best from head to toe.

When performed by an experienced medical professional, laser hair removal is usually a safe and complication-free experience. Many people believe that the benefits of laser hair removal (i.e., reduction / elimination of the need to shave, tweeze or wax) far outweigh the uncommon risks. However, for informed and educated patients, it’s important to consider everything that could potentially go wrong. According to the laser hair removal New York City experts at Laser Cosmetica, potential complications include:

Redness / Swelling

If redness or swelling appears after treatment, the symptoms will likely go away within a few hours. If they persist, you should alert the team at Laser Cosmetica.

Hyperpigmentation

There is a slight possibility of laser hair removal changing the pigment of the treated skin. It is typically temporary, but may be permanent for certain patients. Patients with darker skin are at higher risk of hyperpigmentation, especially if the wrong laser is used.  

Blisters / Burns

Laser hair removal causes blisters, burns, crusting and scarring in very rare cases. It’s critical to protect the treated area from harmful sun exposure right after a laser hair removal session. Otherwise, the area may be susceptible to sun damage.

Insufficient Results

With any cosmetic procedure, including laser hair removal, there is a risk that you will not be happy with the results, or they will not turn out how you imagined.

In general, laser hair removal is not recommended for people with darker skin and/or white or light hair. When there isn’t a large discrepancy between the pigment of the skin and the pigment of the hair, it’s difficult for the laser to correctly target the hair follicle. Also, when the hair is lighter-colored, the laser beam may not be able to find and destroy the hair follicle.

Many women develop cellulite — regardless of their size or weight. The New York City cellulite removal experts at Laser Cosmetica have noticed that even some of the thinnest female patients have cellulite. Often referred to casually as “orange peel skin” or “cottage cheese,” cellulite gives the skin a dimply or puckered appearance. It commonly develops on the lower area of the body, including the buttocks, thighs and stomach.

Cellulite is the result of a combination of three structural factors: 1) trapped pockets of fat; 2) a network of connective tissue that become rigid and pulls down on the skin (causing the dimpling / puckering); and 3) a lack of elasticity in the skin. The cause of these factors varies amongst women. Experts believe that the top causes include:

• Genetics: For some women, cellulite is genetic. Certain genes may predispose a woman to cellulite. Cellulite tends to run in families.
• Hormones: Hormonal differences play a major role in the formation of cellulite, which is why cellulite is more common in women than men.
• Diet: Women who eat a lot of fat, carbohydrates and salt may be more susceptible to cellulite.
• Lifestyle: Smokers, women who do not exercise and women with inactive or stressful lifestyles may be more likely to develop cellulite.

Regardless of what causes your cellulite, it is difficult to treat with lotions or creams. These products do not reach the deep layers of the tissue and skin, where cellulite develops. Treatments such as Accent radiofrequency therapy are more effective in treating the fat cells and remodeling the connective tissue that causes cellulite.

If you are unhappy with areas of cellulite around your body, please contact Laser Cosmetica by calling 866-315-3630. A member of our team would be happy to schedule an appointment for you to meet with our cellulite reduction specialists and recommend a treatment plan.
