Laser hair removal is a medical procedure at MCNYC the Medical Clinic NYC, Dr. Nicolas Batty that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.

During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth. Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal. Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well. Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types. Since pigment is necessary to treat effectively, we cannot treat white, gray, red, or light-blonde hair. Almost all areas such as face, back, chest, bikini area, shoulders, legs and arms can be treated effectively, quickly and safely.
