Since your arms are seen and touched more than any other part of your body, arm laser hair removal can be especially important and effective. It’s worth considering the many benefits of laser hair removal:

·       No more embarrassment – with arm laser hair removal, you’ll have soft, smooth arms that always look their best so you can wear short sleeves or sleeveless tops without feeling self conscious.

·       Gentle and effective – using gentle pulses of light to target and destroy hair follicles, laser hair removal leaves you with soft, smooth skin without the irritation often caused by shaving.

·       Long lasting – while shaving and waxing only provide temporary relief, the results of laser hair removal can last for weeks or even months and the hair that grows back will be lighter and finer.

·       Improves the results of fake tans – after several laser hair removal sessions, pores will narrow, giving fake tans more surface to cover and providing a more even result. 

·       Especially effective on dark, coarse hair – darker hair follicles are easier to target, making arm laser hair removal ideal for individuals with dark, coarse hair on their arms. Dark hair follicles can be quickly and easily destroyed without damaging the surrounding skin.

·       Huggable arms – there’s no more need to avoid physical contact, with arm laser hair removal, your skin will look good and feel right so you can be confident going in for a hug any time. 

Laser hair removal involves the use of pinpoint beams of light to destroy the hair follicles by heating them. The wavelength and spot sizes can be varied depending on the area being treated. The ultimate result is heating the melanin in the hair follicle, which is what causes hair growth, without heating the surrounding skin. This way hair growth is stopped without causing damage to the skin. At Le Parlour, we use the Cynosure Elite+ platform, one of the most advanced laser platforms on the market today.

Because laser treatment targets melanin, it generally works best on individuals with dark, coarse hair and lighter skin but the full customizing features of the Elite+ allow us to provide services for all skin types, even dark skinned individuals, making us one of the most all-inclusive treatment centers in New York City. 

It can take 6 to 9 sessions to achieve your desired results due to the stages of individual hair growth.  It’s important to remember that, while laser hair removal is marketed as “permanent”, you will likely need follow-up treatments in the future to maintain the desired look for your arms. Generally, Arm laser hair removal costs around $350, but cost can vary depending on the amount of area to be treated.

Our hair growth happens in different cycles, each time there is a growth cycle, we need to target the area being treated. When an area is targeted, only a percentage of hair follicles will be affected.Therefore, to effectively reduce your unwanted hair, multiple treatments are necessary.

Almost everyone can have arm laser hair removal, but it is ideal for individuals with lighter skin and darker hair. The Elite+ laser allows us to adjust the wavelength to accommodate darker skinned individuals as well. If you have lighter or finer hair on your arms, you may need more sessions to achieve ideal results.

·       Shave 12 hours beforehand – for maximum results, the hair’s root must be in the follicle without any hair sitting above the skin, so shaving beforehand will be beneficial.

·   Shower the morning of your appointment – this will give the technician a clean, smooth area to work with.

·   Avoid sun exposure and a fake tan

·   Wear comfortable clothes.

·   Don’t be afraid to ask questions – our goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible so we want you to have all the information you need.

·   Hair removal is a breeze at Le Parlour, so relax and enjoy as we provide a private, spa-like experience.

As with any hair removal process, arm laser hair removall included, harsh soaps, perfumes or deodorants should not be used after treatment. Some redness and bumps are perfectly normal, but they should go away within 1 or 2 days at the most. 

You can also take some simple steps to help your skin recover:

·       Cleanse the treated area gently the following day.

·       Avoid makeup and moisturizer/lotion/deodorant for the first 24 hours.

·       Avoid sun exposure

·       Do not pick/scratch/wax/thread or tweeze the treated area.

Dead hairs will begin to shed anywhere from 5-30 days after your treatment and you can exfoliate to speed up hair shedding. Hair growth varies depending on a number of factors including skin type and the specific area treated.
