What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal has become one of the most common elective procedures in America. It's a convenient way for the long-term reduction or removal of hair follicles on the face and body. This treatment, using the Soprano Titanium™ technology, frequently leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother and produces long-lasting results compared to other options. Our team at Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center performs safe and effective laser hair removal treatments for women and men in common areas, such as the legs, arms, back, face, chest, and bikini area. The Soprano Titanium is FDA-cleared for a number of skin types, can treat diverse hair types, utilizes multiple wavelengths, and features a state-of-the-art cooling system for greater results. Call our Mount Kisco or White Plains, NY practice today to learn about how the Soprano Titanium hair removal system might be ideal for your desired outcomes. Consultations and follow-up appointments are held at our White Plains, NY location, and all light and laser procedures and skin care treatments are performed at our Mount Kisco, NY practice.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
On the day of your appointment, you can lie in one of our treatment rooms as areas of your face and body being treated are washed to remove oil, dirt, and creams. During laser hair removal, a team member will stretch out the area to create a direct path between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The energy from the laser will focus on and kill the hair follicle, preventing the hair from growing again. Patients may feel a slight snap as the laser targets and removes each follicle. The cooling tip built into the Soprano Titanium helps alleviate much of the discomfort that is traditionally associated with laser hair removal sessions by mitigating the heat of the laser. Your Soprano Titanium hair removal session will last anywhere from 10 – 30 minutes, depending on the surface area of the desired treatment area. The number of treatments needed for permanent hair loss can vary, depending on many factors, including hair density, hair darkness, and response to the laser system. The specialized laser hair removal technology we use at Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center is able to target the hair follicle alone, preserving the skin and other tissue in the treated area.
What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal
While this procedure is relatively gentle in nature, your skin may look like it has a slight sunburn when lasers are used. After your session, you are able to resume all normal activities, but you need to refrain from exercise or sun exposure for a period of 24 hours to let the treated areas recover. At home after your session, we suggest soothing creams or ice packs to minimize any discomfort.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
Consistent waxing or shaving can be annoying. Laser hair removal done by the providers at Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center at our Mount Kisco, NY practice offers an ideal alternative to the old-fashioned techniques for getting rid of undesirable hair. The advantages of laser hair removal are:
- Not as uncomfortable as plucking or waxing
- A swift treatment with minimal or no pain for many patients
- Could be effective for a few parts of your body and for different varieties of hair
- Provides long-term results
- Acts against hair regrowth between appointments
- Makes skin smoother and softer
- Avoids ingrown hairs
Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center Reviews
I got lipo 360 from Dr. Farella in May. My experience as great and I look fantastic! I chose to get surgery here because he is board certified, has several years of experience, has a certified Operating room in his practice, and because he is located in NY. His CRNA followed up with me the following day of surgery and it was reassuring to know that I was being followed by a medical team. Dr. Farella was the first doctor that told me I didn’t need a tummy tuck. He got my waist from 32 in down to 27 in. If you live in the CT,NY, NJ area and considering cosmetic surgery, I would highly reccomend Dr. Farella.
Dr Farella made me feel so comfortable and at ease before, during and after my procedure! He was so knowledgeable and up to date in his field. I'm very happy with my results
Dr Farella made me feel relaxed and like I am in very good hands. No rush. Fabulous job! Highly recommend!
Outstanding... love Dr. Farella & his professional and outstanding staff ... cannot praise them enough ... always available to answer questions with a caring manner... truly cares about his patients and their needs ... A true artist & the very best in his field ... highly recommend...

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
How much does laser hair removal cost?
The cost for laser hair removal can vary based on the coverage area being addressed on the body, as well as how many treatment sessions you will need to get a smooth result. To help put the cost of laser hair removal into perspective, consider the time and energy you currently spend on shaving, waxing, or other temporary hair removal methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is typically cheaper ultimately and can save you time and energy long-term. We will develop a custom plan that includes the total number of sessions recommended and pricing options to consider.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal is an effective solution for long-lasting hair removal, but it is technically considered “semi-permanent” since some hair follicles may be unaffected. While you can enjoy the results of the procedure for years, it's technically semi-permanent since some hair follicles may be unaffected. Regardless, patients find the majority of the hair will not grow anymore once their treatment plan is finished. While a few hairs may still come in from time to time, laser hair removal makes unwanted hair much easier to manage. More laser hair removal sessions may be scheduled to take care of new growth and any stragglers as well.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Hair growth naturally occurs in phases. When some follicles are in a live growing phase, others are dormant. Because every hair follicle is in a different stage, multiple treatment sessions are needed to target each follicle when it is growing. Spread out your sessions over a few weeks so you get effective results and smoother skin.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal may cause minor discomfort, but it isn't a painful procedure. Patients usually feel a small sting as the laser zaps the hair follicle. Your technician can apply a numbing ointment on your skin prior to the start of your treatment session. Patients who have been getting waxed think laser hair removal feels more comfortable compared to a normal waxing session.
Which laser is best to remove hair?
With so many lasers on the market today, Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center uses cutting-edge hair removal technology for patients of varying hair types. The laser we invested in provides great results, but we upgrade our office as different lasers become available. We encourage you to ask us about our system during your consultation.
