Desire Laser Plus

Desire Laser Plus treats women and men in Huntington Station and focuses on laser hair removal across the face, body and intimate areas. The business says it has more than 10 years of experience in the beauty industry and describes its founders as licensed and certified beauty industry professionals. It also says its team is carefully selected and trained and that it uses industry-approved equipment.

The main method is a heat laser that targets individual hairs with single pulses. The business uses an Epiduo heat laser, which it says suits all skin tones. Before treatment, a cooling gel is applied, and a cryo cooling unit blows cold air during the session to keep the skin comfortable.

Laser treatments usually begin with a free consultation. Before each appointment, clients answer questions about recent sun exposure, their ethnic background, and whether their skin tans or burns. Clients are asked to stop plucking and waxing six weeks before treatment, shave the area beforehand, and avoid sun, tanning beds, spray tans and tanning lotion before the session.

Sessions are generally spaced about once a month, roughly four to six weeks apart. Face treatments are usually about three weeks apart, while legs and back are usually four to six weeks apart. A small area such as the upper lip can take under a minute, while large areas such as the back or legs can take up to an hour. Hair typically sheds within two to three weeks after each treatment. Clients are asked to wear sunscreen for a month afterward to help prevent temporary color changes in the treated skin. Payment plans are available through Cherry, a buy now, pay later company, with approvals up to $30,000, including 0% APR options subject to eligibility and interest-bearing plans with APRs as low as 5.99%.

The business says its goal is the well-being of its clients and that its treatments are offered at affordable prices for people of all ages. Laser treatments are typically arranged after an initial consultation with a licensed technician.
