The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal in NYC works by directing light energy at the melanin in hair follicles to disable growth. Fotona’s Nd:YAG wavelength (1064 nm) penetrates deeply to target follicles while being gentle on the surrounding skin, which is especially helpful for medium to deep skin tones. Advanced scanning and pulse-control features (such as FRAC3® and PIANO® modes on Fotona systems) help deliver efficient, even coverage.

The Medical Clinic NYC offers competitive pricing and financing options to make laser hair removal affordable for almost anyone.

The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the area being treated and the type of laser used. Our consultations are complimentary, so you can find out right away if the treatment is something you can afford.
Our certified and trained professionals will explain and help you answer any questions you may have at our clinic in Times Square.
Laser Hair Removal Results
While every client is different, the number of treatments needed predominately depends on the areas targeted.
Typically, when reducing unwanted hair from the underarms and lower body, such as the full legs or bikini area, clients schedule treatments every 6 to 8 weeks. For reducing unwanted facial hair, such as hair on the upper lip, chin, and sideburns, most clients schedule a laser hair removal appointment every 4 to 6 weeks.
Optimal hair reduction is usually achieved within 6 to 8 weeks, and clients may then opt for a touch-up session, spaced every 8 to 12 weeks, to further reduce remaining hair. During your free consultation, a laser specialist will discuss what you can expect from your individual treatment plan.
Laser Hair Removal Side Effects
Client comfort is imperative at The Medical Clinic NYC. That is why we offer the most advanced, up-to-date laser technology, utilizing ALMA Harmony XL Edition for “super hair removal.”
Cleared by the FDA, many clients find the ALMA Harmony XL laser to be virtually painless and incredibly convenient. It works quickly and covers large areas in relatively short amounts of time. Many clients even visit The Medical Clinic NYC during their lunch break to reduce unwanted hair from their legs, underarms, and bikini area, all within 30 minutes.
Additionally, the ALMA Harmony XL is equipped with a chilled tip, designed to reduce discomfort and enable our laser technicians to effectively and efficiently treat a wider range of skin types.
Frequently Asked Questions
When a hair follicle is damaged, the hair typically does not regrow. However, laser hair removal is not guaranteed to be a permanent solution for hair removal. It's possible that a few hair follicles may partially escape the laser during treatment.
Your hair grows in three different stages: active (anagen), transitional (telogen), and resting (catagen). When the hair is in the active (antigen) growth phase, there is an appendage attached to the hair follicle that the laser is targeting for destruction.
While results may vary, typically, after the first few visits, most clients begin to notice less hair, as well as hair getting finer, thinner, and lighter. Clients also notice that the hair we have treated will start to grow back less frequently. Toward the end of their laser hair removal sessions, most clients' hair will not grow back for weeks.
Lasers work on hair that contains pigment. Fotona’s 1064 nm Nd:YAG performs well across a wide range of skin tones, especially darker complexions, because of how that wavelength interacts with melanin in skin and hair. Very light, red, or gray hair may not respond as well; electrolysis can be a better option for those colors.
Many of our clients come in for laser hair removal on their lunch break. Using our advanced laser hair removal technology speeds up the hair reduction procedure. It also minimizes downtime, with most patients returning to work directly after their appointment.
