Hair removal is one of the most popular laser-based aesthetic procedures in San Diego, since it can provide permanent reduction of unwanted hair.

 

Our highly trained staff uses a CoolGlide Nd:YAG laser and/or Prowave 770 approved for use on all skin types and tanned skin, allowing treatment of a wider patient base than other systems. Independent control of pulse width and fluence allow effective treatment on a range of hair thicknesses, including the often difficult-to-treat finer hairs that are left by other systems after a number of treatments.

 

LASER HAIR REMOVAL FAQs

 

What areas can be treated?

 

The Cutera laser system can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest, nipples, and bikini area. Most areas will need to be treated 5-7 times.

 

Are there any restrictions on my activities after the treatment?

 

Following the treatment you can return to your normal activities right away. However, since some redness may occur, you may want to plan your work or social engagements accordingly. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas that will be exposed to the sun. As always it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.

 

What type of laser do you use?

 

We use a Coolglide laser (YAG 1064) and/or Prowave 770 by Cutera. These lasers are safe for every skin type. For more information log onto www.cutera.com.
