Because we have multiple different types of lasers at  Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey, we can treat a wide variety of skin tones and hair colors. We even have a laser  technique that can target white  hair.

Laser hair removal is safe enough to be used on the face, back, underarms, bikini line, legs and arms

Most people describe laser hair removal as feeling prickly or like a light rubber band snap. Anesthesia is generally not required. Plan on wearing clothing that will allow easy access to the area being treated. Laser hair removal works best when the hair is 1 to 2 mm (about 1/16 inch). No specific care is needed after the treatment. 

All the laser physicians at Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey have been specially trained in the use of laser technology for hair removal. Your doctor will analyze your skin and  the color of the hair to be removed, and select the laser which will give you the best results.

All options for laser hair removal offer a varying degree of permanence, from permanent hair reduction to more of a "laser waxing," or temporary hair removal.

Because hair grows in cycles, only a portion of your hair is above the skin’s surface and able to be targeted by the laser during each treatment. Dr. Goldberg recommends an initial round of four to eight treatments for each area, which can be spaced between four to eight weeks apart. You can expect some re-growth, which can be treated with periodic “touch-up” visits.

Laser hair removal is quick, safe and effective; complications are rare. Your physician will discuss potential risks with you at your initial consultation.
