Since 1995, lasers have been approved by the FDA to be safe and effective for hair reduction. Procedures at Laser Skin in San Diego are approved by the FDA for safe and effective laser hair reduction, treatment of wrinkles, enlarged pores, sun/age spots, and facial/leg veins.

We at Laser Skin in San Diego chose the POLYLASE laser because it is fast, powerful and versatile. This laser is medically recommended for cosmetic laser removal of unwanted hair. The POLYLASE laser at Laser Skin emits light energy, which travels through the skin, following the color (melanin) in the hair, and converts to heat in the hair root. The laser at Laser Skin reaches and treats ten to twelve follicles at a time, in very carefully timed bursts, to maximize the effectiveness of the laser hair removal treatment. At the same time, a unique skin cooling system is employed to soothe heat away from surrounding skin. Thus, the hairs' ability to regenerate is destroyed, and the skin is protected.

In laser hair removal, the light of a laser is distributed onto the skin. The Laser Skin laser works by disabling hairs that are in their active growth cycle at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter their growth cycle at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the follicles in a given area. Laser methodologies have now been proven by the Food and Drug Administration, to offer permanent hair reduction. The three main advantages to laser hair reduction are comfort, speed, and accuracy of the laser. Your RN/Certified Laser Specialist at Laser Skin San Diego will work with you to develop the treatment program that best fulfills your laser hair removal needs.
