How does laser hair removal work?

Dr. Rubbani performs laser hair removal in New York City using the latest laser technologies, which can treat all skin types and conditions.

Laser hair removal for men is commonly performed on the shoulders, back, eyebrows, and beard areas. Women typically undergo bikini, arms, legs, underarms, and upper lip hair removal procedures.

The process of hair removal by laser involves the use of a cooling gel, which is applied both before and after treatment. First, the treatment area is shaved and a pulsed light hand piece is placed on the area. The hand piece then beams an intense pulsed light (IPL), which is adsorbed by the hair follicles and converted to heat. The heat from the IPL disables the hair follicles. Most of the hair can be wiped off immediately after treatment; the rest will shed within two to three weeks post-surgery.

For optimal laser hair removal results, a series of treatments will be recommended depending on the severity of the condition. To learn about your options for this unwanted hair removal procedure, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Rubbani.

During your appointment, Dr. Rubbani will provide you with plenty of laser hair removal information, giving you an idea of what to expect for your procedure. At this time, you may request to view some before and after photos. Our Long Island hair removal professional also performs non-surgical procedures for improving the facial appearance, such as facelift surgery with Thermage ® (“rhytidectomy”), chemical peel treatments, and Botox ® injections.
