Shaving, waxing, Nair and electrolysis are becoming a hair removal treatment of the past. Laser hair removal treatments are not just for celebrities and the wealthy anymore…with advanced laser technology and more affordable laser treatments, everyone can enjoy the benefits of permanent laser hair removal treatments. Aesthetic Edge Medical Spa offers laser hair removal in Torrance with state of the art lasers and an on-site plastic surgeon who administers all laser hair removal treatments. Dr. Keith Marcus will consult with each patient and answer all of your questions on the laser treatments.

Laser hair treatments should be performed by a trained physician or qualified nurse. Keith Marcus, MD is the on-site physician at Aesthetic Edge and administers laser hair removal treatments using the advanced Lumenis Light Sheer. Laser Hair treatments are recommended for legs, underarms, lip, chin and bikini area. Patients will be clean shaven prior to their laser hair removal treatment. The handheld laser is placed against your skin and the laser light targets the melanin in the hair follicle, destroying the follicle. This intense pulsating light targets dark pigment in hair, so the treatment will not work on those patients with very blonde or white hair. The treatment typically lasts 20 minutes to an hour depending on the areas that are treated. With the advancement of the hair removal lasers, the pain is minimal with the laser’s cool tip to prevent discomfort. A cooling machine is offered at Aesthetic Edge which will ease any stinging sensation from the treatment.

The cost of laser hair removal treatments vary due to skin type, hair type, patterns of hair growth, and area. A consultation with Dr. Marcus is recommended to go over the treatment, risks, and benefits of the treatment and to receive an estimate. The risks of the procedure are minimal and the downtime is minimal.

Laser Hair Removal Redondo Beach is popular for its efficacy. Most patients will experience dramatic hair reduction of over 80%. Typically six sessions are recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart to target the hairs in each growth cycle. Between sessions, patients enjoy less hair growth and after the final session, should not have to follow up with a maintenance treatment for another year. So, you can kiss your razors good bye and enjoy a smooth, hair-free body!
