What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-painful laser treatment that targets hair growth at the follicle site using light energy to destroy the follicle. The treatment session’s length depends on the target area’s size, but it is usually an hour at most on average. Most individuals require 2-3 sessions about 6-8 weeks apart to see long-term regression or termination in hair growth.

What’s the first step to Laser Hair Removal in Nassau County?

The first step in getting laser hair removal in Great Neck and Nassau County at Nimbus Medical Spa is to schedule an in-person visit with one of our providers. During the consultation, your provider will ask you about your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations for the procedure. Please be upfront with medical information, as certain antibiotics or photosensitizing medications might interact with laser treatment. They will then ask you for your target areas to examine them and check the condition of your skin, recommending the techniques they will employ to meet your goals. They will also outline the process of the treatment and its associated risks and benefits.

If you both decide to proceed with the treatment at the end of the consultation, your provider will design a treatment plan. You can then share this plan with our coordinator for scheduling and pricing information.

How Do I Prepare for Laser hair Removal?

To prepare for laser hair removal, you must shave the target treatment area twenty-four hours before your appointment and strictly avoid all forms of sun exposure or tanning for at least two to four weeks. Shaving ensures the laser cleanly targets the hair follicle root without burning surface hair. You must completely avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for four weeks prior, as these methods remove the root that the laser needs to destroy. Arrive at Nimbus Medical Spa with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, and deodorants.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

On the day of your laser hair removal in Great Neck and Nassau County at Nimbus Medical Spa, our staff will welcome you, settle you in the state-of-the-art procedure room, review your treatment plan, and ensure your comfort. Once you are ready to proceed, a cold gel or cooling device may be applied to protect the skin, and you will be given protective eyewear.

Your provider will then use a light device to shoot pulses of light to the target area. Laser hair removal can feel like a prickling sensation on the skin, but this discomfort subsides with subsequent treatments.

The procedure’s length varies depending on the size of the target area.

What is Laser Hair Removal Recovery Like?

After the procedure, you may experience redness and swelling in the target area, but these should subside within a few days. Your provider will recommend aloe vera gel, ice packs, or calming creams to relieve these symptoms.

We recommend avoiding sun exposure for up to a week after treatment and using medical-grade sunscreen any time you plan to be outside. In the days following your treatment, you should also stay hydrated and wear loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated area.
