What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a high-tech way to remove your body hair without the constant effort and complications of razors, tweezers, and waxing. During a laser hair removal procedure at La Jolla Med Spa and Hair Transplant, Dr. Nasseri uses the DiolazeXL handpiece for the versatile InMode Optimas laser device to swiftly remove small to large areas of body hair where you’d prefer smooth skin.

How does laser hair removal work?

The DiolazeXL laser beam targets the follicles within your skin that grow body hair. The heat from the laser destroys each follicle and disables it from continuing its hair growth. 

You don’t have to worry about your skin feeling overheated or in pain. As the laser works, the device emits a cooling effect to counteract the laser’s heat. 

Your destroyed follicles no longer grow hair. In fact, you’ll see a 90% plus reduction in hair growth altogether after completing laser hair removal treatment sessions with the DiolazeXL, which is enough to stop some patients from shaving, waxing, or plucking entirely. If you see regrowth, it’s usually due to follicles that were inactive at the time of treatment but became active later. You’re welcome to come back to La Jolla Med Spa and Hair Transplant for maintenance treatments from Dr. Nasseri.

Can I remove hair from all over my body with laser hair removal?

One of the perks of using DiolazeXL laser hair removal is that you can safely remove hair from most areas of your body. In fact, the laser has numerous settings to treat any texture of body hair. 

Areas that patients frequently choose to target include:

• Legs
• Arms
• Chest
• Back 
• Stomach
• Bikini area
• Shoulders
• Chin and jawline
• Neck 
• Sideburns

During your consultation, Dr. Nasseri forms a treatment plan to target each area that you specify. 

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

Preparing for laser hair removal is simple. Dr. Nasseri makes sure you know exactly what to expect at the appointment so you don’t build it up in your mind and get nervous. To get ready for a complication-free laser hair removal procedure, he recommends that you:

• Avoid waxing for six weeks
• Avoid UV rays for four weeks
• Avoid tanning lotion for two weeks
• Trim your treatment areas

Following the pre and post-treatment instructions helps you avoid extensive skin irritation during and after your procedure.
