Interested in treating multiple areas or combining services? We also offer customized packages that may include skin-tightening or other laser-based treatments.
Safety & Comfort Come First
Laser hair removal is very safe when performed by certified professionals. We follow strict protocols, including:
- Protective eyewear for every patient
- Personalized laser settings for your skin and hair type
- Cooling technology to minimize discomfort
Most patients describe the feeling as a quick snap or warmth—much gentler than waxing.
How Long Does a Session Take?
Session length depends on the treatment area:
- Small areas (upper lip, underarms): 15 minutes
- Larger areas (legs, back): Up to 60 minutes
A full treatment plan usually involves 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, targeting hair at different growth stages.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in NYC?
Pricing depends on the size and number of areas treated, as well as the number of sessions needed. On average, expect to pay $200–$500 per session in NYC.
We offer custom packages for multiple areas and sessions—ask us during your complimentary consultation for exact pricing tailored to your needs.
What Results Can You Expect from Laser Hair Removal?
One of the biggest benefits of laser hair removal is long-lasting hair reduction. After completing a full treatment series, most patients see up to 90% permanent hair reduction in the treated areas. While it’s often called “permanent hair removal,” a more accurate term is permanent hair reduction—some fine or light hair may still grow back over time.
Skin Benefits Beyond Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can also improve your skin tone and texture. Many patients notice that the treated areas feel smoother and look more even. That’s because the laser energy stimulates collagen production, which can enhance the skin’s appearance.
Patients with darker skin tones may also see a reduction in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially if they’ve experienced skin discoloration from shaving or waxing. Our Cutera Xeo laser is safe and effective for all skin tones, offering both aesthetic and medical benefits.
Choosing the Right Laser Hair Removal Professional
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure—it’s essential to choose a qualified provider. Look for a board-certified dermatologist or licensed medical professional with extensive laser experience. Dr. Debra Jaliman is a renowned NYC dermatologist with over 30 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology. She uses the latest 2024 Cutera Xeo laser, which is effective for all skin types and ideal for treating the face, underarms, arms, and bikini line.
We offer a complimentary consultation with a laser technician to determine if you’re a good candidate and to provide you with exact pricing. This visit also gives you the opportunity to ask questions, understand the treatment process, and feel confident moving forward.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Understanding Laser Hair Removal
What is laser hair removal?
A treatment that uses laser light to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It offers long-term hair reduction, but maintenance sessions may be needed.
How does it work?
The laser emits light absorbed by pigment in the hair, damaging the follicle to prevent future growth.
Which areas can be treated?
Common areas include face, underarms, legs, bikini line, back, and chest.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Modern lasers can safely treat a wide range of skin tones. A consultation helps determine suitability.
Before the Treatment

Can I wear makeup or lotion to my appointment?
No. The treatment area should be clean and free of products.
Does hair length matter?

During the Treatment
Does laser hair removal hurt?
