Laser Hair Removal San Diego

Laser Hair Removal

Indication:

Description:

A numbing cream is placed on the area prior to the laser treatment.
Our CoolGlide Laser is then passed over the area removing each hair individually.

Intended Result:

Long term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime.
However, hair goes through 3 stages of development.
Typically in the anagen stage, the hair will respond more effectively to treatment.
At any given time, only one third of human hair is in the anagen stage.
For this reason, it is necessary to treat an area at least 3 times with the treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart in order to see the best and longest lasting results.
Darker hair will respond better, but both dark and light hair may need up to 5 treatments for maximum response and the best long-term results.

Recuperation and healing:

There is often no immediate change to the skin.
Your skin may get slightly red or even develop a small crust that will peel.
The laser may leave small red marks on your skin. The marks clear up in a few days.
The hair that has been destroyed will not start to fall out for 2-3 weeks.
Many times it will get darker and thicker just before it falls out.
Don’t worry if you do not see an obvious change immediately after your first treatment.
