Dermatologist explains the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for women and men

Everyone is familiar with the hassle that accompanies routine hair removal, whether you shave, wax, or use other methods to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal technologies have come a long way since they were first introduced and offer multiple benefits for women and men seeking to permanently reduce unwanted hair. At KHROM MEDSPA & WELLNESS in Brooklyn, New York, we use FDA-cleared laser hair treatments to help you achieve the silky, smooth skin you want without the unpleasant side effects of razors, waxes, and creams!
Advantages of laser hair removal
The benefits of laser hair removal go beyond the convenience and time-savings of not having to routinely remove unwanted hair with razors or other methods. With laser hair removal, you can:
- Avoid ingrown hairs: No matter what traditional hair removal method you use, ingrown hairs are often unavoidable. However, laser hair removal targets hair at the root so that the follicle is destroyed, and the hair never returns, preventing ingrown hairs from occurring.
- Have softer skin: Shaving and other types of hair removal methods leave your skin feeling prickly after just hours in some cases as new hairs begin to grow in. With laser hair removal, you don’t have to worry about stray hairs or stubble, leaving your skin baby soft.
- Avoid side effects: Laser hair removal is safe and has a low risk of side effects when performed by qualified dermatological professionals like the team at KHROM MEDSPA & WELLNESS. You can also say goodbye to the burns, cuts, and scars that razors and hot waxes can leave behind!
- Achieve permanent results: Once laser hair removal has destroyed the hair follicles through a series of six to eight treatment sessions, most hair will be permanently removed from the treatment area. Some patients may experience a small amount of regrowth in the area due to hormone changes or medical conditions, but it is typically thinner and softer hair that can be treated with maintenance sessions.

Is laser hair removal right for me?
Laser hair removal can be an excellent option for many patients seeking a permanent solution for unwanted hair. However, it works best on dark hair and is not effective at removing red, blonde, or gray hair due to how the light energy from the laser targets the follicles.
We will perform an in-depth consultation to help you decide whether laser hair removal is right for you. To schedule your appointment, call our Brooklyn, NY office at 718-521-2912 today!
