Shaving and waxing is the most temporary form of hair removal. Men and women who have been treating unwanted body hair through this temporary means have more permanent options than just electrolysis—an extremely time-consuming and painful process. The Sciton laser hair removal system allows Dr. Schwartz to treat all skin types and hair color at his Manhattan practice.
Lasers produce extremely focused beams of light that are absorbed by pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface. This causes a buildup of heat, destroying most of the follicles and preventing hair growth.
The laser is ideal for treating ingrown hairs. Even when an ingrown hair covers the follicle, the laser energy can still penetrate to the hair follicle for a safe and effective treatment.
Besides being easy, laser hair removal is not necessarily painful—certainly less so than electrolysis, and likely less than waxing as well. Most patients report nothing more than a slight sting, like the snap of a warm rubber band. Topical numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort, but many patients are able to undergo this procedure without any type of anesthesia. Post treatment patients might experience redness or slight swelling in the treated area which will only last a few hours at most.
Dr. Schwartz finds that among his patients laser hair removal satisfaction is often very high. Most patients are thrilled with their results even though there are often some very fine hairs that are not permanently removed.
At his practice in New York City NY, Dr. Schwartz will thoroughly discuss your goals and present all options available during your consultation.
