Laser Hair Removal

Discover more about laser hair removal at Nowak Aesthetics and whether you are a good candidate for treatment.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target the pigment, or melanin, inside each hair follicle. As the light is absorbed, it converts to heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only remove hair at the surface, laser hair removal works below the skin to reduce hair over time. Because hair grows in cycles, with only a portion of follicles active at any given time, a series of sessions is needed to treat hair as it moves through each growth phase.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

• Smoother skin with less stubble between sessions
• Fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation than shaving or waxing
• Treats nearly any area, including the face, underarms, arms, legs, back, chest, and bikini or Brazilian area
• Saves time and money compared to a lifetime of shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams
• Laser settings can be customized to different skin tones and hair colors

Candidates for Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal suits individuals in Chula Vista and San Diego who are seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair growth on the face or body. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the process and be willing to commit to a full series of sessions, since hair reduction happens gradually as follicles are treated across multiple growth cycles. While laser hair removal can be performed on a range of skin types, our team will evaluate your skin and hair color during a consultation to select the safest, most effective laser settings for you.

Laser Hair Removal Procedure

The laser hair removal process begins with a one-on-one consultation, during which one of our skin professionals will assess your skin and hair type, discuss treatment goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed and prepared to ensure optimal results. The laser device is then applied to the skin, emitting pulses of light that target the hair follicles, with settings adjusted based on each patient’s skin and hair color to ensure safe, effective treatment.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Following laser hair removal, patients may notice mild redness or swelling similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades within a few days. Protecting the treated area from sun exposure and wearing sunscreen is important while the skin heals. Over the next one to three weeks, treated hairs shed gradually, revealing smoother skin. Because sun exposure can affect how the skin responds to treatment, many patients find it easiest to begin their series in the cooler months.
