Laser Hair Removal at AFL Beauty Bar in New York

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, our focus is always on you. Our laser hair removal treatments are meant to help you feel more confident with smoother skin. We stick to treatments that truly deliver—no overpromises, just results you can count on. You bring the beauty, and we’re here to help it shine.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, laser resurfacing—also known as a laser peel—is a proven way to improve visible signs of aging caused by sun damage, pollution, and daily wear on your skin. It can smooth out fine lines, even out skin tone, improve texture, and tighten areas with mild sagging. Many clients see a visible difference after just one session.

This non-invasive treatment works by using laser energy to gently remove the outer layer of damaged skin. We adjust the depth of the treatment to match your specific skin goals and how much downtime you’re okay with, making it a fully personalized experience.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do You Need?

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, our laser hair removal treatments are timed to match your body’s natural hair growth cycle. Because the laser targets hair best during its active growth phase, several sessions are needed to get the most out of the treatment.

Most clients see the best results after 3 to 7 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Once you’ve completed the initial series, occasional maintenance sessions—about once or twice a year—can help keep your skin smooth.

In our experience, clients often achieve up to 80% permanent hair reduction. Any hair that grows back tends to be finer, lighter, and much less noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about acne? AFL Beauty Bar is here to help with expert advice and effective treatments to get your skin back on track!

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light to target and reduce unwanted hair. The light is absorbed by the pigment in each hair strand, turning into heat that travels to the hair follicle beneath the skin. This process weakens or damages the follicle, which helps slow or stop future hair growth.

Because hair follicles are responsible for growing new hair, disrupting them leads to longer-lasting smoothness. The laser is designed to treat the hair follicle precisely while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. Any hair that does return is usually much finer, softer, and lighter than before.

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, laser hair removal is a safe and reliable choice for most people who want to reduce unwanted hair. While it tends to be most effective on those with lighter skin and darker, coarse hair, our advanced laser technology allows us to safely treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types.

That said, the treatment isn’t ideal for everyone. If you’re pregnant, have certain skin conditions, or are taking medications that increase light sensitivity, laser hair removal might not be the right fit.

Before starting, our team will go over your skin type, hair pattern, and medical history during a one-on-one consultation to make sure it’s safe and effective for you. From there, we’ll create a treatment plan that works best for your goals.

Most clients at AFL Beauty Bar in New York find laser hair removal to be fast and only slightly uncomfortable—often describing it as a quick snap or a warm flick against the skin. In many cases, numbing cream isn’t needed, but we’re happy to apply it if you’d like added comfort.

There’s no downtime after the treatment, so you can fit it into your lunch break and go right back to your regular routine without any hassle.

You may start seeing results shortly after your laser hair removal session. Within 3 to 10 days, the treated hair will begin to shed. It might appear as if the hair is growing back, but what you’re actually seeing is the hair being pushed out from the follicle before it fully falls out.

After just one session, many clients notice that their hair feels softer, lighter, or appears in patches. For the most noticeable and lasting results, though, multiple sessions are usually needed.
