Laser Hair Removal in St Albans, QueensSmooth Skin, Safely — Including Skin of Color

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target the pigment inside the hair follicle, heating it just enough to disable future growth. Over a series of sessions, the laser catches each hair in its active growth cycle, so treated hair grows back finer, lighter, and dramatically sparser — delivering long-term hair reduction without the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and ingrown hairs.

The most important question for many patients is whether it’s safe for darker skin — and historically it wasn’t, because older lasers couldn’t tell the difference between pigment in the hair and pigment in the skin. We use an Nd:YAG-type laser, whose longer wavelength passes safely past surface melanin to reach the follicle. That makes it the appropriate, gold-standard choice for skin of color (Fitzpatrick IV–VI).

At Dr. Bryant Medical Practice in St Albans, Queens, treatments are run under a board-certified internal medicine physician, so laser settings are calibrated to your exact skin tone and hair type — minimizing risk and maximizing results.
