Are you tired of the endless cycle of shaving and waxing? Laser hair removal offers a longer-lasting solution, with many patients enjoying smooth skin for months or even years. At Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center, Dr. John Farella uses the latest Soprano Titanium™ technology to achieve these impressive results. Located in Mount Kisco, NY, our spa is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. Let's learn more about what you can expect from this exciting skin treatment.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles with concentrated light energy. During your appointment, a technician cleans the treatment area and uses the Soprano Titanium device to emit laser energy that penetrates the skin and targets the hair follicles. The laser's heat damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The Soprano Titanium's cooling tip minimizes discomfort, making the process more comfortable. Each session typically lasts between 10 – 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal at Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center provides numerous advantages for patients seeking long-term hair reduction in Mount Kisco, NY. Here are some key benefits:

  • Long-term results: Provides a significant reduction in hair growth, leading to smoother skin over time.
  • Less discomfort: Compared to shaving or waxing, laser hair removal causes less pain and irritation.
  • Effective for various skin and hair types: The Soprano Titanium technology utilizes multiple wavelengths, making it suitable for diverse skin tones and hair textures.
  • Prevents ingrown hairs: Reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs, a common issue with other hair removal methods.
  • Time-saving: Decreases the need for frequent shaving or waxing, saving time and effort.
  • Advanced cooling system: The built-in cooling tip of the Soprano Titanium enhances comfort during the procedure.

How many sessions of laser hair removal will I need?

The number of laser hair removal sessions you need depends on factors like hair density, color, and growth cycle. Most people require multiple sessions since hair grows in different phases. Typically, 4 – 6 sessions are recommended, spaced several weeks apart, to effectively target hair follicles during their active growth phase. Dr. Farella and our team will create a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best results possible.

How long does laser hair removal last?

Laser hair removal results can last for an extended period, often several years. While the treatment significantly reduces hair growth, it's technically considered semi-permanent because some hair follicles may not be affected. Patients usually experience a significant reduction in hair growth after completing their treatment plan. Occasional maintenance sessions might be needed to manage new hair growth, but these are typically infrequent. The long-lasting results make laser hair removal a valuable investment for those seeking smoother skin without the hassle of regular shaving or waxing.
