Intensive Pulse Light is the latest, safest technology available for permanent hair reduction. Controlled flashes of special light are selectively absorbed by hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which destroys follicles and stops potential hair regrowth – all without damaging the surrounding tissue. This procedure will require several treatment sessions to be performed in order to get the desired results. There may be a maintenance session needed just to secure the hair from growing back.
Sciton Laser Hair Removal is a noninvasive treatment that safely removes unwanted hair without damaging the skin.
At Dr. Davie Cosmetic Clinic in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NY, we use the Sciton Joule for Laser Hair Removal that is safe on most skin types and skin colors. This system uses laser light – an intense, pulsating beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where the energy is absorbed and transformed into heat, disabling the follicle while leaving the surrounding area unaffected.
Sciton Laser Hair Removal offers longer-lasting results then other hair removal methods such as shaving, tweezing or electrolysis.
Sciton Laser Hair Removal is recommended in packages of three or more in order to disable all of the active hair follicles.

Commonly Asked Questions about Sciton Laser Hair Removal at Dr. Davie Cosmetic Clinic in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NY
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal utilizes laser treatments to offer a safe and effective method of removing unwanted body hair.
Is Dr. Davie Cosmetic Clinic’s Sciton Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser Hair Removal can permanently disable the hair you have in an active growth cycle on the day of your treatment. Follicles that are not active will enter the growth phase in a few weeks and will then be treatable. Most active hair follicles must be treated more than once. Circumstances such as pregnancy, menopause, certain medications and hormonal conditions can trigger a dormant follicle to grow in. Dormant follicles are not active and therefore not able to be treated. The new growth, however, will be much lighter in color and considerably finer in texture because of the procedure. If this should happen, a touch-up treatment would be required.
Where can Sciton Laser Hair Removal be used?
Anywhere on the skin surface.
Can tanned skin be treated?
Tanned skin can be unsafe to treat so always inform us if you have been tanning or exposed to the sun within the last three weeks. We will adjust your treatment settings or alter your treatment regime accordingly to give you the safest most effective experience.
