Trade in Your Razor!

Laser Hair Removal is a safe, effective, noninvasive treatment that removes unwanted hair without damaging the skin.

At East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Suffolk County, NY, our Laser Hair Removal is suited for most skin types and skin colors. This system uses laser light. An intense, pulsating beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where the energy is absorbed and transformed into heat, disabling the follicle while leaving the surrounding area unaffected.

The Sciton laser system used for laser hair removal features a continuous cooling system, which helps assure patient comfort. Many patients experience little to no pain during treatment; patients may also choose to have us use a topical anesthetic during treatment.

Laser Hair Removal offers longer-lasting results than other hair removal methods such as shaving, tweezing, waxing or electrolysis.

Laser Hair Removal is recommended in packages of five or more treatments, scheduled at 6-week intervals, in order to disable the active hair follicles, providing excellent results.

Commonly Asked Questions - Laser Hair Removal:

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal utilizes laser treatments to offer a safe and effective method of removing unwanted body hair.

Is East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center’s Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser Hair Removal can permanently disable the hair which is in an active growth cycle on the day of treatment. Follicles that are not active will enter the growth phase in a few weeks and will then be treatable. Most active hair follicles must be treated more than once. Circumstances such as pregnancy, menopause, certain medications and hormonal conditions can trigger a dormant follicle begin to grow. Dormant follicles are not active and therefore cannot be treated. However, the new growth in a treated area, will be much lighter in color and considerably finer in texture because of the procedure. If this should happen, a touch-up treatment would be required.

Where can Laser Hair Removal be used?

Laser Hair Removal can be performed anywhere on the skin’s surface. The most popular areas of treatment are the upper lip, chin, underarms, bikini, legs, back and shoulders.
