If you’re ready to say goodbye to unwanted hair, we can guarantee that laser hair removal in San Diego will be worth the investment once you see results. During our consultation sessions with clients, we encourage them to ask questions they might still have, and we also explain how the procedure works and what they can expect. We will discuss the process and why it’s worth the investment.How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?We target the hair follicle during laser hair removal at a specific stage of hair growth - the anagen phase. Because hair grows at different paces, we encourage you to come for about 12 sessions to ensure that we catch all the hair at the right time. During the session, you’ll feel the sensation similar to a rubber band being flicked on your skin as the laser zaps the hair follicle to inhibit hair growth.Minor Side EffectsThe worst side effects you could experience are redness, itching, discoloration and irritation at the laser site. If you visit a center that doesn’t use the best equipment and professionally trained staff, you may risk a poor outcome and infection and pain at the laser site. This is not common practice when visiting a professional spa for the best laser treatment.It is not a surgical, invasive procedure, and you won’t need downtime or special healing time after a session. However, we do have a few tips for you to follow as aftercare.Minor Changes To Your Life

• Your skin will be slightly irritated for a few days after the treatment.
• We advise that you avoid swimming, waxing, or applying lotions for 48 hours after your session to give your skin time to recover.
• Use a good SPF cream after 48 hours and limit your exposure to the sun.
• It is best that you shave before you come for a session and let the hair grow out to reach the proper phase again before you shave and come for another session
• It is best not to apply deodorant or spray for a few days after as your skin will still be tender.
• Don’t schedule any exfoliating, facials or peels throughout your course of treatments.
• You can apply a cold compress, take anti-inflammatories or apply Arnica cream to the areas afterwards if you feel some tenderness or discomfort.

Works On Any SkinLaser hair removal works best on dark, thick hair and light skin. At our medical spa, we welcome all clients for laser hair removal.To ensure that we cover all clients’ needs and cater for all skin tones and hair thicknesses, we have two different lasers that work best on specific hair and skin tone. The Lumenis LightSheer Duet laser is a diode laser at 800nm wavelength that penetrates deep and is perfect for thick, stubborn hair. At the same time, the Lumenis Splendor X laser works with wavelengths and Alexandrite at different frequencies and is ideal for darker skin types or can be adjusted for lighter skin tones.Sessions And CostConsidering how many hair follicles you have on your body and that they might all be at different cycles, you will understand why we recommend about nine to twelve sessions for optimal hair growth reduction. Initially, we will schedule you for eight to ten sessions and then re-evaluate.Laser sessions last only a few minutes as the laser targets more than one hair at a time; it also costs more, but the time saving and the convenience of no in-grown hairs or shaving.Schedule Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment With The Laser Cafe TodayOur experienced, trained staff will give you the best treatment with the latest laser tech to ensure the optimal outcome for you.

Having a decent pain tolerance, I don’t need the ice or anything but the nurses check each time and make sure you are doing okay throughout the treatment. I have recommended laser cafe to friends and family as well.
