A year ago I began laser hair removal sessions at Pulse Laser & Skincare Center. As a woman, it can be very frustrating dealing with pesky, unwanted hair and laser hair removal seemed like a great idea. Little did I know, Pulse Laser’s hair removal would change my life!
As soon as you step off the elevator, you can smell the delicious aroma emanating from behind the door to Pulse Laser — think pink Starburst. The clean, minimalist lobby is a comforting place to wait for your appointment and the staff kindly explains every step of the procedure and goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort.
For those of you unfamiliar with the process of laser hair removal, it is performed by using laser light energy at the skin’s surface and target the pigment in your hair follicles. The lasers used at Pulse Laser & Skincare Center begin by cooling your skin with a patented liquid cryogen system, followed by laser light energy that heats the hair in the follicle to destroy the root of the hair. Pulse Laser recommends at least six sessions, spaced between four and eight weeks apart to ensure the best results. Typically, the best results are achieved with hair that is dark and course and light skin — I was a perfect candidate.
The procedure itself is incredibly quick – no more than five minutes, and no worse than getting a wax, painwise. You can be in and out as quick as can be. Even after the first session you will see amazing results. Hair is noticeably lighter, thinner and more sparse. Each session gives you better and better results. After finally completing all six of my sessions, I am loving the results! When I do need to shave, which is every few weeks (!), there is no razor burn or ingrown hairs, plus, you can go back in for touch ups whenever you want for a fraction of the cost.
In addition to laser hair removal, Pulse Laser & Skincare Center offers plenty of other treatments, including acne removal, skin tightening, chemical peels, facials (which are amazing) and more.
Pulse Laser & Skincare Center is located at 149 Madison Avenue, Suite 601.
