Many women feel uncomfortable with facial hair or hair on other areas of the body. Imagine a laser so fast, affordable and effective that it eliminates shaving, plucking, electrolysis and waxing! Laser hair removal can even remedy the discomfort of razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

A growing number of athletes shave their entire bodies for competition or just because they like the appearance. You do not have to be an athlete to feel uncomfortable with leg, back or shoulder hair.

Laser hair removal is the ideal solution to unwanted hair. Our experienced medical staff at Monterey Bay Laser Aesthetics provides personalized treatment to safely remove unwanted hair.

Frequently Asked Questions:  Laser Hair Removal

Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes. It is FDA-approved as safe and effective for permanent hair reduction.

Is laser hair removal better than other hair removal methods?
Yes! It is faster, more gentle and effectively reduces hair growth permanently.

How many treatments will I need? How often?
Six treatments on average are required with four weeks between each treatment. People with darker and tanned skin tend to require more treatments.

Why do I need more than one treatment?
Multiple treatments are needed because hair follicles grow in different cycles and the laser targets only those follicles in the active growth phase.

How long does a treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the size of the area treated. It can take as little as a few minutes for the upper lip or up to an hour for full legs.

How permanent is it?
Clinical studies show that laser treatments permanently reduce hair growth by up to 90%.

What Patients Can Expect With a Laser Hair Removal Treatment:

  • Discomfort is usually described as tingling or like the snap of a rubber band. Our ‘state-of-the-art’ laser uses the most advanced technology with a built-in ‘chill-tip’ skin cooling system that reduces discomfort. Anesthetic is available for sensitive skin. Return to normal activities immediately.
  • The after-effects, if any, are minor and may include redness or swelling around the hair which disappear within a matter of hours or a few days.
