In La Jolla, Serving the Del Mar Area - Laser Hair Removal
At Torrey Pines Dermatology, conveniently located to serve patients from the La Jolla and Del Mar areas, cosmetic dermatology professionals perform laser hair removal treatments to reduce the appearance of excessive or unwanted hair on most areas of the face and body. Laser hair removal offers our patients the chance to achieve dramatically reduced hair growth that lasts, often eliminating the need for shaving, waxing, and other temporary hair removal techniques.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal is a relatively quick and non-invasive procedure. For the best results, it is important to shave the area being treated a few days before the visit. Your skin care expert at our La Jolla clinic near Del Mar will apply an anesthetic cream before beginning the laser hair removal treatment to ensure that there is no discomfort.
During the laser hair removal procedure, your skin care professional will use a handheld device to focus laser energy on hair follicles in the area being treated. A series of these treatments is often required to remove the hair as thoroughly as possible, because hair grows in cycles.
Areas for Treatment
One of the chief advantages of laser hair removal is its versatility. Almost any area of the body with unwanted hair can be safely treated with lasers.
The Face: The face is a popular area for laser hair removal treatments. Both men and women may wish to remove unwanted hair from the upper lip, chin, brow, and other areas. By removing this hair, patients can avoid having to use wax, use razors, and other inconvenient, impermanent hair removal techniques.
The Chest and Back: Laser hair removal treatments for the chest and back are common cosmetic treatments for men. Chest and back hair may be a source of embarrassment for some men, and shaving or waxing is time-consuming, messy, and even painful. Men who wish to address this problem more permanently can visit Torrey Pines Dermatology in La Jolla for laser hair removal treatments.
The Legs and Arms: Women commonly shave or wax to remove hair on the legs, arms, and underarms. With laser hair removal, this hair can be either eliminated completely or significantly reduced, helping patients achieve beautifully smooth skin without having to rely on temporary hair removal techniques.
The Bikini Area: Laser hair removal is even gentle enough to be used on the bikini area. Targeting the hair specifically will largely avoid the surrounding skin, making it possible for patients to have this area treated without fear of excessive pain, skin damage, or other complications.
What to Expect
Laser hair removal patients should expect to undergo a series of treatments. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the area to be treated. Depending on the size of the affected area, treatment sessions typically take no more than one hour.
In general, laser hair removal is most effective on patients with darker hair and lighter skin. However, there are various treatment strategies available at our La Jolla clinic, near Del Mar, for the individual patient. Your laser hair removal professional will discuss these options with you to determine which course of treatment would be best suited to your case.
