At her Upper East Side practice, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marie Hayag provides advanced laser hair removal for unwanted facial and body hair. Excess or persistent hair growth can affect both men and women and may be influenced by genetics, hormones, or underlying medical conditions. At Marie Hayag, MD, treatment emphasizes safe, effective, long-term hair reduction using medical-grade Candela laser technology customized to each patient’s skin type and hair characteristics.
Unwanted hair may present as:
Temporary methods like shaving, waxing, or threading can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and inconsistent results. Professional laser treatment offers a longer-term solution. Additionally, performed under physician supervision, laser hair removal provides a more precise and consistent approach than at-home or spa-based treatments.
Unwanted hair may develop due to:
Some individuals simply have thicker or denser hair follicles, while others experience hormonally driven growth patterns. A physician-led consultation helps determine whether hormonal testing or additional medical evaluation is appropriate.
Laser hair removal with the Candela laser uses advanced light-based technology to target pigment within hair follicles, delivering controlled energy that selectively reduces future hair growth while protecting surrounding skin.
This treatment reduces unwanted hair growth on the face and body, minimizes ingrown hairs, and improves overall skin smoothness over time.
Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting hair reduction on the face or body who want a more effective alternative to shaving or waxing. Treatment parameters are customized based on skin tone, hair color, and treatment area.
