Laser hair removal is the most popular form of permanent hair reduction available. Hundreds of thousands of people choose laser hair reduction over short-term solutions like tweezing, shaving, or waxing hair each year. Men and women rely on laser hair removal to permanently reduce undesirable body hair from all body parts. Laser hair removal is FDA-cleared for most skin types, though some types of lasers are better for darker skin than others. This treatment is a quick, tolerable hair removal option that requires no downtime and offers a convenient, safe, and effective path to smoother skin.

Why waste your time tweezing, waxing, or shaving unwanted body or facial hair when you know it will return in days or weeks? These traditional hair reduction methods have been around for a long time. However, they’re tedious, painful, and deliver fleeting results. On the other hand, laser hair removal treatment delivers long-term hair reduction in minimal time. Here are a few of the top benefits laser hair removal can offer you:

There are many different types of laser hair removal devices. Some emit red light, while others send broadband light (BBL) or intense pulse light (IPL) into the hair follicle. Some cutting-edge laser hair removal devices—such as the one we use at New Beauty & Wellness—use neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd: YAG) laser light to penetrate deep into the skin. YAG laser hair removal is widely regarded as one of the best forms of laser hair removal for dark skin.

Laser hair removal prevents the growth of hair follicles by flooding melanin with thermal energy. Melanin, the pigment that gives your hair its color, naturally absorbs light. During the laser hair removal procedure, the laser carefully treats each targeted hair with a blast of high-energy light. The laser is calibrated to target the melanin found in the hair’s root, allowing the beam to safely pass through the skin to focus on the hair’s root.¹ When the hair follicle absorbs the high-energy light, the thermal energy of the laser overwhelms the follicle, disabling its capacity to re-grow.

Effective hair reduction requires several laser sessions, due to the different growth stages each hair follicle cycles through. The anagen, or active, phase of growth is the stage when hair contains the highest concentrations of melanin. Because high concentrations of melanin ensure that the procedure is effective, laser hair removal is especially well suited for targeting hair in the anagen phase of growth. However, only 20-30% of your hair is going through the anagen phase at any moment, so your technician from New Beauty and Wellness will create a treatment schedule to ensure that you get great-looking results that last.¹ The specific treatment area also has a large impact on the number of sessions before ideal results are achieved.

To ensure our clients receive the finest laser hair removal services in Westport and New Canaan, CT, New Beauty and Wellness uses the CYNOSURE Elite+ Aesthetic Workstation. The CYNOSURE uses state-of-the-art technology and is one of the best laser hair removal devices available today.

The Elite+ Aesthetic Workstation is a dual-wavelength system that delivers energy faster and more efficiently than other laser systems. It can emit 755nm and 1064nm wavelengths, designed for quick and easy hair removal. Providers can easily switch between wavelengths within a single session to fulfill different treatment purposes, saving time and ensuring the most efficient treatment experience possible.

The Elite+ Aesthetic Workstation can do so much more than reduce unwanted hair. It can also target and remove facial and leg veins, epidermal lesions, and reduce wrinkles on all skin types. Standard hair removal lasers target an area around 15mm in diameter, but the Elite+ comes with 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm spot sizes, which makes treatments go much faster.

The Elite+ has two major wavelengths through which it operates. The Alexandrite is highly absorbed by melanin, has incredible long-term results for removing lesions and hair, and removes 79% of targeted hair after just three treatments. The YAG is the safest wavelength for treating darker skin tones and tanned skin, and is also designed to target facial and leg vein lesions.

In addition, the Elite+ comes with adjustable pulse durations which, when combined with the multiple spot sizes, allows a treatment plan to accommodate each patient’s specific needs. The leading-edge laser hair removal device also offers an air-cooling effect throughout each session. These impressive features maximize patient comfort and make all  unwanted hair, pigments, and lesions disappear.

Results can vary with any cosmetic treatment, but the people that are depicted in these laser hair removal before and after pictures show real patients who underwent actual treatments and demonstrate real results.

Laser hair removal works effectively on nearly any part of the body. Some of our patients purchase full body laser hair removal treatments. Others choose to receive treatments that target the following areas:

During each complementary consultation from New Beauty and Wellness, our laser technicians discuss what areas you would like to have treated. We then and use that information to build an affordable and comprehensive treatment plan to meet all of your aesthetic goals.

Prior to your procedure, take time to freshly shave the desired treatment area, whether you’re receiving underarm or bikini laser hair removal. This will allow for effective energy delivery of the laser device to your hair follicles, thus providing a more effective treatment. You should refrain from plucking or waxing the treatment area prior to your laser hair removal treatment to avoid disrupting the hair follicle.

You should also avoid applying any lotions, moisturizers, oils, deodorants, or sunscreens to your skin on the day of your appointment. These substances can create a barrier between your hair follicles and the laser and can reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.

For the best results, you cannot have a tan in the treated area and you cannot have been previously waxed. Additionally, in the days prior to treatment, you should avoid taking medications like blood thinners, NSAIDs, and pain relievers, as well as topical medications like Retinol. These medications can increase your sensitivity to the heat and light of the laser and cause your treatment process to be extremely painful and irritating.

Laser hair removal can be an effective treatment to improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris, a common skin condition that causes small, hard bumps on the skin. The laser targets and destroys the hair follicles, which are often the source of inflammation and irritation in people with keratosis pilaris. By removing the hair, the laser helps reduce inflammation and promote smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Not all laser hair removal providers or devices are created equal. If you want the best long-term outcome, selecting a provider you can trust to offer state-of-the-art treatments is crucial.
