What are the laser treatments like?

Laser Hair Removal is a gentle three-step process. First, we gently cleanse the area to be treated. Next, we shave the area. Then the area is scanned with the laser. The laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. In a fraction of a second, all of the treated hair follicles are disabled.
Treatments can last from a few minutes to most of an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

The cost varies depending on the area treated. The larger the area the greater the cost.
However your total investment in laser hair removal ends up being significantly less than many other cosmetic alternatives. For electrolysis you must figure the cost of making many tedious visits (a lot more than the handful of laser treatments you'll need).
Or if you figure the cost for continually shaving or waxing. But it also makes more than just economic sense when you consider the discomfort and pain associated with other traditional methods. Not to mention the time you save. So laser hair removal can give you one less thing to think about. One less thing to worry about. And more time for yourself. Most patients consider the cost an investment in themselves.

Safe Summer Skin

Still confused about the difference between UVA and UVB? UVA rays penetrate deeply into the dermis and are the number one cause of premature aging. UVB rays attack superficial skin layers, cause burning, and more directly promote skin cancer. Try this pneumonic: The A stands for "aging" and the B stands for "burns." SkinMedica's Sun Protection line provides full-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with added antioxidants and moisturizers to maintain the health of your skin.
