Our Hair Removal service uses professional laser technology to reduce unwanted hair at the follicle. A handheld device sends pulses of light energy into the skin, where pigment in the hair absorbs it and the heat disables actively growing follicles. Because hair grows in cycles, each session catches a new group of follicles, gradually thinning growth in the treated area.
It works on the upper lip, chin and face, underarms and arms, bikini line and Brazilian area, back, chest and legs, and it can ease ingrown hairs and the dark marks shaving leaves behind. In our Merrick clinic, your provider evaluates your skin tone, hair color and texture, then selects settings and session spacing suited to your combination.

What to Expect
Your consultation reviews your skin tone, hair color, medications and recent sun exposure. Shave the area beforehand and avoid waxing or plucking so follicles stay intact. During treatment, you wear protective eyewear while the device moves across the skin; most people feel warmth or a quick snap. Sessions take 15 to 45 minutes. Mild redness usually fades within hours. Avoid sun on the area and return every few weeks as recommended.
