Nickel men’s spa offers laser hair removal for men in Manhattan. Laser hair removal is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with great results. Male laser hair removal treatment applies controlled pulses of energy, reaching into the active hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The normal hair cycle is comprised of three stages: active growth-anagen, transition-catagen and resting telogen. All hair follicles go through these cycles and the only time you can destroy the hair follicles is when they are active. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue of skin. The destroyed follicle cells are eliminated from the tissue by phagocytosis.

There are no long term health hazards from light or electric energies used in the Galaxy. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.

Each Galaxy treatment will result in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing progressively lighter in color, finer, slower-growing with each treatment. It takes more than 1 treatment to affect all the follicles growing in an area. Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after 4-8 treatments, but individual results vary depending on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored hair may require more treatments that darker colored hair.

The treatment are usually performed every 3-4 weeks.
