If you spend time daily removing unwanted hair, you know how time-consuming it can be.

Many patients in the Jamaica, Queens, New York and Manhattan, New York areas, who are tired of plucking, waxing, and shaving unwanted hair on the body approach Dr. Ahmadur Rahman of Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine with questions about permanent hair reduction and removal using laser technology. This treatment is a way to effectively treat unwanted hair–for good!

What is laser hair removal?

Our doctors describe laser hair removal as a process whereby a laser is used to remove unwanted hair from the body. The procedure is most commonly used in areas where shaving and other forms of hair removal are ineffective, such as the face, legs, armpits, and bikini line.

How does laser hair removal work to achieve permanent reduction of unwanted hair?

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicle using a concentrated beam of light. The pigment absorbs the laser light energy and converts it into heat, destroying the follicle and preventing regrowth. This eliminates hair from growing from the same follicle, achieving permanent hair reduction and removal in the treated area.

What can I expect during my laser hair removal session?

The procedure is usually performed by a trained technician such as Dr. Ahmadur Rahman of Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine as an outpatient treatment. It typically takes multiple sessions to achieve desired results, and there is a risk of side effects, including skin irritation, redness, and swelling in the treatment area. However, these often resolve on their own, and patients love the ability to achieve hair-free skin–permanently!
