Laser Hair Removal
Tired of the constant cycle of shaving, waxing, or plucking unwanted hair? Look no further than Still Well Med Spa in Staten Island for the ultimate solution – Laser Hair Removal. Our advanced laser technology provides a safe, effective, and long-lasting way to achieve beautifully smooth skin that lasts for life.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal reduces unwanted hair using targeted light energy. Instead of relying on razors, wax, or depilatory creams, you can focus on long-term smoothness by taking care of hair at the root. Those looking for a more efficient and consistent option compared to traditional hair removal methods may benefit from laser treatments.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
With professional laser hair removal, a device emits pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in your hair. This light energy heats and disrupts the hair follicle, which can slow or stop future growth. The hair in each treated follicle sheds naturally after the treatment, and any regrowth often appears finer or lighter. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed for the best results.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal at Still Well Med Spa?
At Still Well Med Spa, we understand the frustration that comes with unwanted hair and the desire for a permanent solution. Our laser hair removal treatment offers numerous benefits:
- Permanent Hair Reduction: Say goodbye to unwanted hair for good. Our advanced laser technology targets the hair follicles, impairing their ability to regrow hair. With each session, you’ll experience a significant reduction in hair growth until it’s virtually eliminated.
- Precision and Versatility: Our state-of-the-art laser systems can target hair on various areas of the body. The treatment is precise, ensuring that only the hair follicles are affected while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
- Efficiency and Speed: Laser hair removal is a quick procedure, with treatment times varying depending on the size of the treatment area. Our experienced professionals utilize advanced technology, allowing for faster and more efficient sessions, ensuring you can get back to your daily activities in no time.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Our laser hair removal systems are designed to be safe and effective for all skin types, including fair, medium, and dark skin tones. We customize the treatment settings to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results while prioritizing your safety.
Why We Choose Clarity II for Laser Hair Removal
Dual-Wavelength Laser
We use the Clarity II system because it gives us two laser wavelengths in one device, which lets us tailor your laser hair removal treatment more precisely. The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength works well for lighter skin types, while the 1064 nm Nd:YAG is better suited for darker skin. We adjust the settings depending on your skin tone and hair color.
Real-Time Skin Temperature Sensing
Clarity II constantly reads your skin’s temperature while we treat you. With this feature, we can maintain a safe and steady balance between effective hair removal and protecting your skin from overheating. We get immediate feedback and adjust in real time.
Cryogen Cooling
Cooling your skin during treatment helps protect the surface of the skin. Clarity II uses cryogen technology that cools your skin right before the laser pulse and reduces the sensation of heat. This system delivers consistent cooling exactly where and when it’s needed and gives you a more comfortable hair reduction experience with less irritation afterward.
Speed and Comfort
This system moves fast, which means we can treat larger areas like your legs or back in less time. The Clarity II handpiece covers more skin with each pulse, so your session feels quicker without sacrificing precision. We make each session as smooth as possible by combining the right energy level with effective cooling and smart tech.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Compare to Other Hair Removal Methods?
- Shaving: Shaving is quick, but the results don’t last long. Stubble returns by the next day, and there’s always the risk of cuts, bumps, or ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal targets the root, so you won’t need to spend time shaving.
- Waxing: Waxing removes hair from the root and lasts longer than shaving. However, many people find it painful. With waxing, you also need to wait for the hair to grow out before you can wax again.
- Electrolysis: Electrolysis treats one hair at a time using a fine needle, so it takes much longer than laser treatments, especially on larger areas. It can be a good option for fine or light-colored hair, but it is not ideal for patients who want quicker results.
- Depilatory Creams: Depilatory creams break down hair at the surface, but they don’t affect the follicle. The smell, the mess, and the risk of skin irritation make them unappealing for many patients. If you’re looking for something longer-lasting and more convenient, we can help.
What Areas Can Be Treated With Laser Hair Removal?
We can treat virtually any area where you have unwanted hair. That includes your legs, underarms, face, back, chest, and arms. We also offer bikini laser hair removal, which many patients choose for a cleaner, longer-lasting result compared to shaving or waxing.
How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Treatments
We will ask you to shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment so the laser can target the follicle more effectively. Skip waxing, tweezing, or using hair removal creams for several weeks beforehand since the root needs to be intact for the laser to work. You should also stay out of the sun, avoid tanning beds, and avoid the use of any self-tanners. Let us know about any medications or skin products you’re using so we can plan your treatment safely.
The Laser Hair Removal Experience
Our laser hair removal process at Still Well Med Spa is designed to provide you with a comfortable and satisfying experience:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
- Treatment Sessions: The laser hair removal procedure involves a handheld device emitting laser energy that targets the hair follicles. You may experience a mild sensation, often described as a rubber band snap or a slight tingling feeling. Our practitioners will adjust the settings to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
- Post-Treatment Care: After each session, you may experience mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to protect and soothe your skin, as well as guidance on the recommended number of sessions for optimal results.
What to Expect After Each Session
Right after your session, the treated area might feel warm or slightly sensitive, almost like a mild sunburn. Over the next week or two, you’ll notice the treated hairs starting to shed. It may look like new growth at first, but the hairs will fall out on their own. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and exfoliating products for a few days to keep your skin calm. Most patients see a noticeable reduction after each visit.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?
You’ll get the most from a laser hair removal service if your hair has pigment since the laser targets the melanin in the follicle. Dark hair responds best, while very light blonde, gray, or white hairs are difficult to treat using lasers. We also look at your skin type, health history, and any conditions that might affect healing, like active skin infections or certain medications. If you have hormone imbalances, we can still treat you, but you might need more sessions to maintain your results. Both men and women come in for treatments, and we tailor the plan based on your goals.
Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, laser hair removal is considered a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals using appropriate equipment. At Still Well Med Spa, we utilize advanced laser technology, and our experienced practitioners take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the treatment.
The number of laser hair removal sessions required varies depending on factors such as hair thickness, hair color, and the treatment area. On average, most individuals require a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Our experts will evaluate your unique situation during the initial consultation and provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Advancements in laser technology have made it possible to perform laser hair removal on a wide range of skin types and hair colors. While traditional laser systems worked best on lighter skin with dark hair, our advanced lasers can effectively treat various skin tones and hair colors. During the consultation, our practitioners will assess your skin and hair characteristics to determine the most suitable approach for you.
Laser hair removal may cause some mild discomfort during the procedure. Most individuals describe the sensation as a slight tingling or snapping feeling similar to a rubber band. However, the discomfort is typically well-tolerated, and our practitioners take measures to ensure your comfort, such as adjusting the laser settings and applying cooling techniques.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction in hair growth but should not be considered a guarantee for complete permanent hair removal. The treatment damages hair follicles, leading to a significant reduction in hair growth. However, some fine or light hairs may regrow over time. Periodic maintenance sessions may be necessary to maintain the desired results.
We usually recommend starting your treatments in the fall or winter. You’re less likely to have recent sun exposure during those seasons, which helps us treat your skin more safely and effectively. If you have a vacation or special event coming up, start several months in advance so you have time to complete multiple sessions.
The cost depends on the area you’re treating and how many sessions you need. Smaller zones like the underarms or upper lip cost less than larger areas like the back or full legs. We’ll go over all pricing with you during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Please keep in mind that these answers provide general information about laser hair removal. It’s important to schedule a consultation with our experienced professionals at Still Well Med Spa for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice based on your unique circumstances.
