How do you get rid of undesirable and embarrassing hairs? For years, waxing, shaving, and tweezing were your only options. These activities have become a part of your daily routine and by now you probably consider them a regular part of your personal hygiene, like bathing and brushing your teeth. Laser hair removal at the La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic near San Diego allows you to deal with unwanted body hair permanently.
High-Tech Laser Hair Removal
Now, you might think the concept of lasers seems scary and they only have a place in cheap science fiction flicks. However, our advanced laser technology is completely safe and has been thoroughly tested. With the help of lasers, doctors around the world are able to complete procedures never before possible because lasers allow new levels of precision and accuracy. Don’t worry; our San Diego cosmetic surgeon leaves her light sabers and blasters at home.
Laser hair removal utilizes laser technology to “zap” the targeted hair. The hair is removed and the actual follicle is heated up, impeding its ability to grow back. Laser hair removal is permanent, meaning you won’t have to worry about unwanted hair ever again.
Laser Hair Removal Vs. Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a similar procedure to laser hair removal, but electrolysis can only be used on one hair at a time. The major advantage of laser hair removal is that many hairs and even larger areas can be targeted and no effectiveness is lost. Instead of spending hours and hours to receive electrolysis, you can be in and out in minutes. Laser hair removal takes an average of twenty minutes, and the most commonly targeted areas include:
- Bikini line
- Underarm
- Chin
- Back
- Upper lip
