Is permanent hair reduction right for you?
There was a time when laser hair removal was only safe for individuals with certain hair colors and skin types. Today, that’s no longer the case. The Icon Aesthetic System offers a safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted hair for anyone – even men and women with the most sensitive skin and the blondest hair.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment Areas
Face
Patients who seek hair reduction in New York for the face typically want to address excess hair on the chin, upper lip and eyebrow area. The Icon Aesthetic System is extremely effective in addressing these precise areas – restoring a groomed and refined overall look.
Bikini area
The bikini area is an extremely popular location for permanent hair reduction. In general, our patients require four to eight 15-minute treatments to thoroughly address this area.
Chest
When men possess thick and excessive chest hair, it can be both unsightly and uncomfortable. And, because this hair tends to grow quickly, shaving or trimming it can be unnecessarily time-consuming. In just four to six one-hour treatments at Scarpidis Aesthetics, you can eliminate the excess hair that concerns you most, achieving a less unruly – and more groomed – chest appearance.
Back
Excessive back hair is an unsightly and embarrassing problem that affects countless men. And, because the back is so difficult to access, it can be impossible to address on your own. Fortunately, you can be free of this issue once and for all in approximately five permanent hair reduction treatments in NYC.
Legs
Many women need to shave their legs multiple times a week to maintain a smooth appearance – and even then stubble can quickly grow and destroy your look. In just four to eight treatments, we can eliminate the hair on your legs for good, so they’re permanently silky smooth and stubble-free.
Arms
Excessive arm hair is a common problem for both men and women. Using powerful laser technology, we can either thin out the hair or remove it completely – giving you the precise final outcome you desire.
Underarms
For most adults, the underarms need to be shaved every day – which can quickly become cumbersome. Fortunately, you can throw out the razor and eliminate this part of your daily routine after an extremely quick and easy permanent hair reduction treatment in New York at Scarpidis Aesthetics.

The permanent hair reduction procedure
You will need to begin preparing for your permanent hair reduction well in advance, by avoiding waxing and plucking your hair for at least three weeks prior to your treatment. This is because the laser targets the roots of your hair, so they need to be intact for the procedure.
Your unwanted facial and body hair will be permanently removed during a series of sessions at Dr. Scarpidis’ private New York office. We will then adjust the laser to account for your hair color, thickness and location, before applying the device to the treatment area, sending powerful light to the hair follicle and destroying growth at the source.
In general, you can expect the procedure to be virtually painless, with most patients experiencing only minor discomfort. However, if you have a low threshold for pain, we will offer you the opportunity to numb the area to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is laser hair removal?
The cost of laser hair removal in NYC varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. Smaller areas such as the upper lip may start around $150 per session, while larger areas like the legs or back can range from $500 to $800 per session. A consultation at Scarpidis Aesthetics will help determine the most effective plan and pricing for your goals.
Can you get laser hair removal while pregnant?
It’s generally recommended to postpone laser hair removal during pregnancy. While there’s no strong evidence showing it’s harmful, most providers advise waiting until after childbirth due to hormonal changes that can affect skin sensitivity and treatment results. You can safely resume sessions postpartum once cleared by your doctor.
How many sessions for laser hair removal?
Most patients need 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair color, skin tone, and the area being treated. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are necessary to target all follicles effectively and achieve long-lasting smoothness.
How to prepare for laser hair removal?
Before your laser hair removal session, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and waxing for at least two weeks. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment so the laser can target the hair follicle directly. Arrive with clean skin free of lotions, deodorant, or makeup for the best results.
