Simply Smooth Laser

Simply Smooth Laser offers laser hair removal at 401 Haledon Ave. in Haledon, New Jersey, for all skin tones and hair types and for all genders. Treated areas include the face, underarms, bikini, back, and full body. The business offers a free consultation, and its listed hours run from 10:00 am to 6:30 pm.

The business uses two laser systems so that treatment can be matched to skin tone. Its Alexandrite laser is suited to lighter skin tones, and its Nd:YAG laser is used for darker skin tones. The systems are described as FDA-cleared. The business says it combines experience, current technology, and personal care, and that each session is adjusted for comfort and results according to a custom plan built around the client's goals and skin type.

Clients are asked to shave the treated area 24 hours beforehand and to stay out of the sun, tanning beds and self-tanner for at least two weeks prior. Waxing, tweezing and threading should be skipped as well. On arrival, skin should be clean and dry, without lotion, deodorant or makeup. A topical numbing cream can be provided if needed, and the salon supplies pre- and post-care instructions.

Most clients need six to eight sessions, usually spaced four to six weeks apart, and some return for touch-up visits after the series. According to the salon, a full series can cut the amount of hair by up to 80 to 90 percent, though this is the salon's own claim. The salon calls its pricing affordable. Reviews on its testimonials page describe the environment as clean and welcoming.
