Laser Hair Removal for the Los Angeles area of Studio City, Burbank and Sherman Oaks
Our hair removal system uses a non-invasive, gentle laser light that is specifically designed to eliminate hair. During treatment, highly controlled flashes of light energy are delivered to the treatment area, where they are selectively absorbed by the hair follicles below the surface of the skin. The laser light destroys the hair follicle without damaging the skin.
Our clients from San Fernando Valley to the Los Angeles communities including Burbank, Sherman Oaks and Studio City choose laser hair removal for a wide variety of body areas. In fact, almost any area of the body except for around the eyes can be treated with laser hair removal.
Popular treatment areas for women include facial hair as well as the underarm area and bikini line. Men often choose laser hair removal for their back, neck, shoulders, and chest. Keep in mind that laser hair removal generally is not effective for blonde, white or gray hair, but we are happy to review your hair color at a free consultation and recommend whether treatment is right for you. The laser hair removal technology we use can safely treat all skin types and colors.
Fast Facts on Laser Hair Removal
Here are some of the most important things you need to know if you are considering laser hair removal at our Burbank treatment center located in the Los Angeles area.
Number of Treatments Required:
Generally, our patients need 6 treatments for maximum hair reduction, although some patients require more. To keep the treatment area as smooth as possible, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended as well.
Treatment Interval:
Each treatment session is spaced about 4 to 12 weeks apart. This gives time for the treated hairs to fall out and new hair growth, part of the natural hair growth cycle, to emerge so that it can be treated.
Treatment Time:
This varies from 15 minutes to 1+ hour depending on the amount of hair and the size of the area being treated.
Recovery Time:
People respond to laser hair removal treatments differently - some have minor skin redness and swelling for a few hours, while others have almost no aftereffects. Treatment and recovery is comfortable for most patients.
Results:
A significant percentage of hair in the treatment area will be removed permanently. Hair will become lighter and sparser after each treatment session.
