We believe in real results and full transparency. That’s why we’re proud to share before and after photos from real clients who have trusted us with their skin. But just as important as the results is understanding the laser hair removal journey—and what you should do before and after your treatment to get the best outcome.
Whether you’re starting with underarms, legs, Brazilian laser hair removal, or facial areas, here’s what you need to know.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal:
✦ Avoid waxing, tweezing, or depilatory creams for at least 4 weeks before treatment.
These methods remove the hair follicle, which the laser needs to target.
✦ Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session.
✦ No tanning or spray tanning at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
✦ Skip lotions, creams, perfumes, or deodorants on the day of your treatment.
✦ Let us know if you’ve used Accutane or Gold Therapy within the past 6 months—we won’t be able to treat you during this period. We do not treat clients who are currently pregnant.
What Happens After Laser Hair Removal:
➤ It’s normal for the treated area to appear slightly red or sensitive for a few hours after treatment.
➤ Hair in the treated area will begin to shed over the next 2–3 weeks—this is a sign the laser worked! You may notice the hair appearing thicker or darker just before it falls out.
➤ Avoid using products with alcohol on the treated area for at least 24 hours.
➤ Continue avoiding sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks post-treatment to protect your skin and ensure the best results.
Our team will guide you through the process with clear instructions, expert care, and honest support. We’ve helped thousands of clients in New York City achieve long-lasting, confidence-boosting results with our signature laser technique.
Located at 1133 Broadway in the heart of Manhattan, we offer free consultations to answer all your questions and help you feel 100% ready before your first treatment.
EXCELLENT Based on 336 reviews Keya Chatterjee2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience at Light Touch Laser Spa in NYC with Lital. She was super warm and honest about the whole laser process, which really put me at ease. Lital’s friendly nature makes you feel like part of the family, and the results speak for themselves! Plus, the pricing was totally fair for the quality service. I’m thrilled with my experience! If you’re considering laser treatments, definitely check out Light Touch Laser Spa! Shanta Rathat2025-05-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Etal is amazing, I wish she had a place in Miami. I highly recommend Etal. Adelina Yankova2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lital provides exceptional service and I trusted her 100% to do laser hair removal on my upper lip. From the first consultation, she lays out a plan and is very clear about what you can expect and what her expectations are for you (stay out of the sun!). That said, she'll work with you, if you're like me and need to interrupt service due to travel or can't avoid the sun in certain settings. She's honest about the results you can expect based on your specific skin tone and hair type, and really cares about her clients' wellbeing. She is very skilled at tuning her machines and I was never, ever burned; any redness subsided within the half hour. I'm very happy with the overall results. The process itself is very quick for a small area like the upper lip -- I was usually in and out in 5 minutes and the procedure itself is no more than a minute. At the time, I can't speak to other areas, but if I ever go back for laser hair removal, I'll absolutely be coming back to LightTouch . Having this procedure gave me so much more confidence in myself and I just wish I had done it sooner. Thank you, Lital! I also want to note that the space always felt very inclusive and welcoming, and Lital has taken care to display art and wear a pin that indicates that this is an LGBTQ+ friendly space. I imagine a person seeking gender-affirming care would feel safe here. Ovidius Claudius2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In all seriousness, the only doctor where you end up sad when you have to leave Betsy Dickerson2025-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lital is not only incredibly professional and results-driven, she soon becomes one of the best people in your life. Don’t go anywhere else. Soorin Lee2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished my last session! Lital is the sweetest and the most energetic person ever. She truly brightens up the room and makes you feel very comfortable during your session. She is also upfront about exactly what to expect from each session. The results are phenomenal and I am very happy with results. Thank you Lital! ☺️ Meli D2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was pretty nervous about getting laser hair removal, but that was taken care of during my consultation as the whole process was explained to me in detail, and I felt reassured. I started my sessions for full legs and underarms with Lital. Who's very kind and professional to say I was instantly very comfortable with her. Highly recommend! Update after 11 months- I'm in my second-to-last session for legs and already seeing great results. As for my underarms, after 5 weeks of the last 8th session, I'm happy to say I have no regrowth. Marta Unnars2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I decided that it was time to get hair removal services, I wasn’t quite sure what to look for, but I knew that I did not want to go to one of the big spas where I would never get the same person treating me twice. Light Touch Laser Spa is perfect for me as the owner does the treatments herself. She’s caring and efficient. I highly recommend the service - and 2 months in I’m seeing wonderful results. Andrea Diaz2025-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. i just finished underarms and bikini line. I started seeing results as soon as my second session and towards the end i didn't have to shave in between sessions because no hair was growing! very happy with my results :) Colleen Pappas2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very nervous about this procedure because I am very claustrophobic. Lital always was very patient with me and made me feel at ease.
