We've all been there: body hair maintenance can be a serious hassle. Sometimes, you want to go to the beach without having to schedule a wax before you do; other times, you want to hang out with friends without worrying about those unsightly sideburns; and sometimes, it's just a matter of wanting to put your most feminine face forward, without the worry of unwanted hair. You may want to rid yourself of that hairy back or chest. Whatever the case, laser hair removal may be the answer to your prayers.
Why choose laser hair removal over conventional hair removal techniques? There are many benefits to laser treatments, including the following:
Studies have shown that pulsed laser light therapy is more effective and advanced than standard laser hair removal therapy. Pulsed Light can deliver hundreds or thousands of light colors at a time, and each color can be used selectively to reach a specific hair, blood vessel, or skin component requiring treatment. This capability allows our experienced Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center Pulsed Light Physicians to vary the type and intensity of Light delivered to match the depth of the target hairs and avoid surrounding areas. IPL is more effective and safer for our customers.
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses concentrated Light to target the roots of unwanted hair. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the Light, causing them to overheat and eventually be destroyed. Laser hair removal can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
-Unwanted facial hair
-Ingrown hairs
-Hair loss due to medical conditions such as alopecia
-Excess body hair due to hormonal imbalances
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted hair growth. It can be used on all skin types and is ideal for those who have tried other methods, such as shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams, without success.

With routine maintenance sessions as needed, being hair free can be permanent. If hair does return because of hormonal changes, medication or other biological factors, it typically returns finer and lighter and can usually be removed with a few maintenance treatments.
Laser hair removal is a fast and effective way to remove unwanted body hair. The pain varies by person, but most patients state that it feels like being snapped with rubber bands--low on their sensitivity levels or nonexistent at times!
If you're considering a laser hair removal session with us, here's what you can expect. Before your procedure, the target hair will be trimmed close to your skin surface so the laser can be adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of the specific hair follicles to be removed. Your skin color will also be determined so that any necessary blending can be done to ensure flawless, beautiful skin.
While most people can safely get laser hair removal, someone other than some people might be the right candidate. Some of the more common contraindications include:
Before removing laser hair, schedule a consultation with the doctor to determine whether this is an appropriate treatment option. Your physician will likely do one or more: Review your medical history, including medication use and past procedures that have been tried on skin disorders/scarring, and evaluate what treatments may best fully suit individual needs.
