LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN CALIFORNIA
About Laser Hair Removal
Imagine not having to shave, tweeze, wax or go through electrolysis
again! Intense Pulsed Light (IPLTM) technology offers a gentle,
non-invasive, permanent solution to unwanted hair on the face, legs,
back, bikini line or any other body area.
Unw anted
hair is a problem shared by both men and women. Some people experience
excess hair from the time they reach puberty; others find it to
be a condition that worsens with age, menopause, or pregnancy. Millions
of men and women spend thousands of dollars each year attempting
to get rid of unwanted hair. Women frequently experience this condition
on the face, especially the lip or eyebrow areas, at the bikini
line, under their arms, or on their legs.
Men often wish to rid themselves of hair on the back or chest. They
too may have unwanted hair between their eyebrows or on other parts
of their face.
For both men and women, shaving, waxing, chemical depilatories and
other temporary hair removal methods have been known to cause irritations,
folliculitis and in some cases, scarring.
Depending on its location on the body and an individual's hair type,
hair can grow in thick, bushy patches, or long thin strands. Hair
follicles can be found at different depths and densities. Until
recently, this great variety in hair types and body locations made
permanent hair removal a significant challenge.
While unwanted or excess hair is primarily a cosmetic concern, it
can be very distressing to those who suffer its effects. Unwanted
hair can be a source of considerable embarrassment, limiting people's
activities and lifestyles.

 Frequently
Asked Questions
How does Laser Light remove hair?
Highly controlled flashes of light are absorbed by hair follicles
beneath the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages
or destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle.
What happens during a treatment?
It begins by trimming away the hair above the skin. You
may be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the
bright light. OA topical anesthetic may also be utilized to make
the treatment even more comfortable. The treatment is then completed
in between 5 and 45 minutes.
What does the Intense Pulsed Laser Light treatment feel like?
Each pulse of light feels like a mild sting, similar to
the snap of a rubber band. No anesthesia is required, although some
patients prefer to utilize a topical anesthetic.
Can all hair be treated?
Any hair with at least some pigment in it can be treated.
Is Laser Light safe for all skin types?
Our network of doctors effectively treat unwanted hair on
all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals such as those
of Black, Hispanic, Indian, and Asian descent.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are rare. You may experience some slight reddening
or local swelling, but this typically goes away within a few hours.
Also, skin can become darker or lighter following treatment, but
will generally return to normal in a few weeks. Limiting sun exposure
before and after each treatment will minimize side effects.
What kind of results can I expect?
Laser technology has been proven to offer permanent hair
reduction. The number of treatments required depends on several
factors related to your specific kind of hair and skin. A program
will be designed to meet your particular needs.
What is the cost?
Consultations are free and are utilized to help you become more
familiar with the procedures. Price varies according to the area
treated.
