Is There Any Recovery After Laser Hair Removal?

Whether you remove hair from your face, legs, bikini line, or other areas, the process can be tedious or uncomfortable. Laser hair removal gives you an effective way to put an end to this unpleasant task. This treatment addresses hair growth at the root to give you long-lasting smooth skin and no more worries about stubble or missed spots. 

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal stops hair growth by killing the follicles from which the hair grows. 

Each hair grows from a root contained within a follicle in your skin. The root contains a pigment called melanin that gives it color. This pigment absorbs the laser energy, heating the root and killing the follicle. Therefore, you cannot produce new hair in that area.

Is There Any Recovery After Laser Hair Removal?

Your New York Skin & Vein team uses the Excel® HR laser for hair removal. This laser provides a safe, effective experience with little to no recovery time. You may experience some minor redness and swelling in the treated area for a few hours. You can return to your usual activities immediately, letting you get back to work or your daily routine. You will have to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen after treatment. 

What Areas Can Laser Hair Removal Treat?

You can have laser hair removal almost anywhere that you grow hair. The Excel® HR laser works safely on all skin types and tones. Popular areas for this treatment include:

  • Face
  • Legs
  • Bikini line
  • Underarms
  • Chest
  • Arms

However, you can treat hair almost anywhere it bothers you. Different areas of skin grow different hair types, so hair in one area may take longer to treat than hair from another. We recommend a consultation to discuss all your areas of concern and develop a treatment plan.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?

Laser hair removal will require a series of treatments to achieve results. During each session, some hair follicles will be in a dormant state with no hair growth. At each session, more follicles will be active and responsive to treatment. Most people benefit from two to six treatments, although you may need more. You may need a touch-up treatment every year or two to manage any stray hairs that appear. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

The Excel® HR laser allows more people to receive laser hair removal treatment. Good candidates should have black, brown, or darker red hair that contains enough melanin for treatment to work. People with pale red, blond, or gray hair are not usually good candidates. You should not have this treatment on damaged or irritated skin or if you have been tanning.

★★★★★ 5/5
I’ve now had two procedures with NY Skin & Vein—one injection and one laser treatment. The care providers put me at ease by answering my questions. They’re clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The staff in the office is professional and warm. I also appreciate their holistic approach to skincare (dermatological & cosmetic injections and laser services, as well as ZO skincare products). Looking forward to my next visit.

What a fantastic group of people that are employed at the Binghamton office. Always treat you like family and put you at ease IF you are the least bit apprehensive about procedures. DR. Stanley Anderson is absolutely amazing. Unbelievable with fantastic results. Love the way he explained EVERY little detail and options.Most appreciative of his patience with me.Highly recommend.
Elaine C.
Doctor Dohner and his staff (at multiple locations I've visited) are all amazing. I visited the Binghamton office today after not being seen in 7 years. I was able to get a quick appointment, when I arrived they had everything ready for me and I was taken right back and had my procedure done. I have never experienced anything but professionalism and compassion from Dr. Dohner. I highly recommend seeing him and his excellent staff for anything vein related.
Robin S.
I went in to get my lips enhanced and some fillers. Though it wasn't the most pleasant procedure I've ever gone through. Erin and Dr. Dohner kept my mind busy with their witty and funny banter. My lips look great! Dr. Dohner and his staff are professional, compassionate, and they make sure you are comfortable and ready for your procedures. They will definitely be seeing more of me.
Constance B.
I came to Dr. Dohner with aching/ throbbing, leg pain, bulging veins, and tired/heavy legs. Dr. Dohner did an in office vein procedure to fix my veins. The office got me in to have the procedure within one week, before the new year because I had already met my deductible. What a wonderful experience. Thank You everyone so much.
B.W.
I came to see Dr. Dohner because my legs really ached, and I had a difficult time to put a sock on my left leg because of swelling and tender to the touch. He did an in office procedure to close my veins. I can now put my sock on with no problem. I walk a lot better and can climb stairs without them aching. It was great that I didn’t have to fast and could be awake during the procedure. 
P.D.
