Laser hair removal is a painless and convenient alternative to other hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, tweezing, and electrolysis. It helps patients to feel more confident and enjoy smoother, firmer skin. The laser emits powerful energy pulses that target the pigment in the hair follicles. Once the follicles absorb the heat, they are rendered useless and are unable to produce new hairs. With multiple sessions, the skin gradually becomes hair-free.
While most patients are good candidates for laser hair removal, a personal consultation with Tania Cohen, DMSc, PA-, in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, is required before continuing with the treatment. Laser hair removal is not suitable for pregnant or nursing mothers, those taking certain acne medications, or patients with keloid scarring.
