LASER HAIR REMOVAL NYC
LASER HAIR TREATMENT
Laser hair removal in NYC can permanently remove bothersome facial and body hair. Unwanted facial and body hair can be a constant annoyance. Patients may need to shave, tweeze, wax, or thread daily to obtain the appearance they desire. At Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill, we offer laser hair removal using the latest technology. Laser hair removal treatment offers a long-term solution by treating hair growth at its source. Laser light energy can effectively target hair follicles to cease hair growth.

Patients that have had to constantly wax, thread, or shave their legs, underarms, face, chest, or back can now live worry-free of these annoyances.
