As laser technologies become safer, more effective, and more popular with doctors, patients are presented with reliable alternatives to conventional methods of hair removal, such as shaving, waxing, and electrolysis. At Aesthetic Solutions, Dr. Nolis Arkoulakis and Dr. Lee Elber offer several laser hair removal treatments to New Jersey patients from New Brunswick, Edison, and surrounding areas of Middlesex County. Contact Aesthetic Solutions today and schedule an appointment to learn more about the laser hair removal options our physicians offer.
The laser hair removal treatments offered at our New Brunswick and Edison, New Jersey-area office are relatively quick and pain-free. The number of treatments required depends on a few factors. Each diode laser only affects follicles that are actively growing. This portion may be only 15 to 25 percent of hairs present at any one time. Because of the active growth cycle, an average of four to six laser hair removal treatment sessions will be necessary at four to six week intervals in order to remove hair fully.
Patients about to undergo laser hair removal treatment sessions can expect a reasonably comfortable experience. Depending on the level of the patient's sensitivity, a topical anesthetic may be applied. In addition, both the patient and doctor must put on protective eyewear to prevent exposure to any harmful light emitted from the laser hair removal handpiece.
Both the CoolGlide® and LightSheer® machines utilize handpieces that the physician places over the treatment area. Pulses of laser light are then emitted from the handpiece, treating the target area. The length of treatment will depend on the size of the area being treated.
These treatments remove hair by emitting light, which is absorbed by the skin's pigment and converted into heat. The result is thermal damage to the follicle, which causes its permanent destruction. The increased pigment in the hair follicle absorbs more energy than the lesser pigment in the surrounding skin.

The CoolGlide® 1064 laser used for hair removal is one of the most versatile and effective technologies available at Aesthetic Solutions. In addition to treating spider veins, the CoolGlide® 1064 laser can also eliminate a wide range of hair types from both light- and dark-skinned individuals. From the fine, barely visible wisps of hair above the lip to the dense patches of hair on the chest or back, the CoolGlide® 1064 laser affords patients a safe and comfortable laser hair removal treatment.
The LightSheer® laser is another laser hair removal treatment option available at our Edison, New Jersey practice. This laser was designed for the sole purpose of laser hair removal and has been proven to accomplish this task in a safe and successful manner. Typically, the procedure with the LightSheer® laser is painless and results in little, if any, discomfort.
