Achieve Smooth, Hair-Free Skin with Laser Hair Removal in New Jersey
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective way to reduce unwanted facial and body hair for both women and men. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our advanced laser technology targets hair follicles to prevent future growth, offering long-lasting results that are more precise and convenient than shaving, waxing, or tweezing. Our skilled providers customize each treatment to your skin type and hair characteristics, helping you achieve smooth, hair-free skin with minimal discomfort.
Unwanted hair can develop due to a combination of factors, including:
Genetics, which influence hair density, thickness, and growth patterns
Hormonal changes, such as those related to puberty, pregnancy, or menopause
Certain medications or medical conditions that stimulate excess hair growth
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in hair follicles, damaging them to inhibit future growth. This process is most effective on actively growing hairs and is tailored to your individual needs.
Patients often seek laser hair removal when they experience:
Unwanted hair on the face, legs, arms, underarms, or bikini area
Skin irritation, ingrown hairs, or folliculitis caused by shaving or waxing
Time-consuming hair removal routines that provide only temporary results
Desire for a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution to hair growth
If excess or bothersome hair is affecting your confidence or daily routine, laser hair removal at Skin & Laser Center of NJ offers a precise, effective solution.
Laser hair removal treatments at our practice are performed using the Candela GentleMax Pro®, providing benefits such as:
Targeted hair follicle destruction for long-lasting reduction

Minimal discomfort, thanks to integrated cooling technology
Quick treatment sessions, often completed in under an hour for small to medium areas

A laser hair removal session at Skin & Laser Center of NJ can address unwanted facial and body hair in a variety of locations. Some of the most common treatment areas include the face, with an emphasis on the upper lip, chin, and sideburns; neck; arms; fingers and toes; back; legs; bikini line; and buttocks. Areas that are not appropriate for laser hair removal include eyelids and any sections of skin that have been tattooed. The team at Skin & Laser Center of NJ can assess your skin and help develop a treatment plan to remove unwanted hair.
Prior to your laser hair removal session, you should avoid electrolysis, tweezing, bleaching, threading, and waxing for three to six weeks. The treatment area should be shaved one to two days prior to the appointment and free of makeup, creams, or gels. Minimizing sun exposure and wearing sunscreen before your laser hair removal session can also help with a positive outcome.
The amount of time required for laser hair removal depends largely on the size of the area being treated. Targeting the upper lip may take only a few minutes, while an appointment removing hair from the legs might take closer to an hour. Before the practitioner starts using the laser, you will be given safety eyewear to protect your eyes during the process. A handheld probe will be used on the targeted area to deliver short pulses of energy followed by a cooling spray. The sensation has been compared to the snap of a rubber band, though the cooling technology minimizes this effect.
After your laser hair removal treatment, you may experience some mild redness and swelling in the targeted area—though this should resolve within a few days. After a few days, it may appear that the hair is growing. This is your body’s way of pushing the treated hair out. As before the appointment, avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen are excellent practices after your procedure. Most patients require multiple laser hair removal sessions to reach their treatment goal. It’s not uncommon for patients to need six laser hair removal sessions spaced several weeks to months apart in order to achieve the goal of 80 percent hair removal.
Beyond targeting unwanted hair with lasers, Skin & Laser Center of NJ also offers laser acne treatment, laser scar treatment, laser tattoo removal, and more cosmetic procedures.
