Smooth skin never goes out of style, especially in Southern California.

But shaving, waxing, and bleaching can be an uncomfortable, time-consuming process that provides only temporary benefits. If you are looking to permanently reduce unwanted hair with Laser Hair Removal Newport Beach based Bonakdar Aesthetics is here to help. The LightSheer DUET laser is a state-of-the-art hair removal system that offers greater speed and comfort for fast, easy treatments.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light to target and disable hair follicles, leaving you with smoother, fuzz-free skin for longer. Imagine waking up in the morning ready to hit the beach or pool without a shaving session - that's the freedom Laser Hair Removal can offer.

The science

The laser beam targets the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles. This concentrated light energy gets converted into heat, which damages the follicle and hinders its ability to produce new hair growth. While one zap won't banish hair forever, a series of treatments spaced out over time can significantly reduce hair growth and make those pesky hairs much finer and less noticeable.

The Hair Cycle and Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal works best when we understand the hair's growth cycle. Hairs are at different stages, and the laser can only target those in the active growth phase. Here's the breakdown:

Growth Phase (Anagen): This is when the hair follicle is in overdrive, producing that visible strand you see on your skin. This is the prime time for laser treatment, as the laser can target the pigment and damage the follicle's ability to grow new hair.
Transition Phase (Catagen): The hair follicle starts to shrink and detach from the blood supply. Laser treatment isn't effective here.
Resting Phase (Telogen): The hair is waiting to shed and make way for a new one. Again, the laser can't do much during this stage.

So, why do we need multiple Laser Hair Removal sessions? Because your hairs aren't all on the same schedule! By spacing out treatments, we catch them at their most vulnerable stage (anagen) over time. This leads to a significant reduction in hair growth and leaves you with smoother, fuzz-free skin for longer. It might require some patience, but the results are definitely worth it!

Laser Hair Removal Benefits

Ditch the Razor, Embrace Smoothness!

Here's why ditching the razor and opting for laser treatment might be the best decision for you:

Long-Lasting Results: Unlike shaving or waxing, where hair grows back quickly, Laser Hair Removal offers a more permanent solution. By targeting the hair follicle itself, laser treatment significantly reduces hair growth, leaving you with smoother skin for extended periods. Imagine waking up beach-ready without a morning shave - that's the freedom Laser Hair Removal offers!
Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Say goodbye to painful bumps and irritation! Laser Hair Removal targets the root of the problem, minimizing the risk of ingrown hairs. This means smoother, healthier-looking skin you can feel confident about.
Saves You Time and Money: Think about all the time and money you spend on razors, shaving cream, wax appointments, and dealing with irritated skin. Laser Hair Removal might seem like an investment upfront, but in the long run, it can save you both time and money. Plus, no more last-minute scrambles to find a razor before a beach trip!
Smoother, More Confident You: Laser Hair Removal can be a major confidence booster. Imagine the freedom of wearing your favorite clothes without worrying about unwanted hair. Smoother skin looks great and can make you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.

At Bonakdar Aesthetics, we use the advanced Lumenis LightSheer DUET laser system to deliver these amazing benefits. This innovative system combines a high-speed handpiece and the ChillTip™ Technology for optimal results. While individual results may vary, Laser Hair Removal offers a long-term solution for smoother, more manageable skin. It's an investment in your confidence and a way to ditch the razor for good!

Laser Hair Removal vs Other Hair Removal Methods

Shaving and waxing can temporarily remove unwanted hair, but let's be honest — they come with their own set of frustrations. Here's how Laser Hair Removal stacks up against other methods:

Razors: Ingrown hairs and razor bumps can be a constant battle with shaving. Laser Hair Removal tackles the hair at its source, minimizing the risk of irritation and leaving you with smoother, bump-free skin.
Waxing: Waxing can be painful and time-consuming, not to mention the awkward waiting period for your hair to grow back long enough for the next session. Laser Hair Removal offers a long-term solution, reducing the need for frequent appointments and waxing woes.
Creams and Lotions: Other methods like depilatory creams, epilators, and sugaring can also be messy, time-consuming, or cause irritation. Laser Hair Removal offers a more permanent and comfortable alternative.

While other methods might seem convenient at first, Laser Hair Removal offers a more permanent and hassle-free solution. It's an investment in smoother, more manageable skin for the long term.

Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

At Bonakdar Aesthetics in Newport Beach Laser Hair Removal is performed with the Lumenis LightSheer DUET - an advanced laser system that makes hair removal fast, reliable, and comfortable. These benefits are possible because of LightSheer’s advanced technology.

Treatment with LightSheer DUET is faster because the new treatment tip is 10 times larger than before. This means that areas of the body can be treated 75% more quickly. In fact, treatments are so brief that most Newport Beach Laser Hair Removal patients choose to treat multiple areas on each visit.

Laser Hair Removal Procedure

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING LASER HAIR REMOVAL

No anesthesia is required prior to Laser Hair Removal with LightSheer DUET (although it is available). Treatments are tolerable because the new, vacuum-assisted tip brings the hair follicle closer to the laser so that a lower energy level is needed.

The vacuum also alters skin sensation, essentially "fooling" the senses and enhancing patient comfort. During the procedure, the laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light, which is absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles. The pigment is vaporized, disabling the follicles and eliminating hair growth. Areas that can be treated with Laser Hair Removal include:

Face
Underarms
Arms
Bikini area
Legs
Ears
Back
Chest
Shoulders

Because hair growth is cyclical and Laser Hair Removal is most effective during the active growth phase, 2-5 treatments are generally required to achieve permanent hair reduction.

Immediately after treatment, the treated area may temporarily appear pink or red and, possibly, slightly swollen. However, most of people are able to return to their usual routine right away. Lasers are also used for skin resurfacing and skin lifting and tightening.

Laser Hair Removal Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Don't expect overnight miracles, but within a few weeks after your first treatment, you might start noticing less hair growth and finer hairs in the treated area. It's all thanks to the laser targeting the hair follicles during their active growth phase. Multiple sessions spaced out over time are key to achieving significant and long-lasting results. Most people see a noticeable reduction in hair growth after a series of treatments, with some even experiencing permanent hair reduction.

After your Laser Hair Removal session, your skin might feel a little red or irritated, similar to a sunburn, but this usually subsides within a day or two. Here's how to pamper your skin and optimize your recovery:

Treat Your Skin Gently: Skip the harsh scrubs and opt for lukewarm showers instead of hot baths.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: Hydrated skin heals faster. Use a fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe and protect the treated area.
Sun's Out, Shades On: Laser Hair Removal makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. Protect yourself with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day, even on cloudy days.
Listen to Your Body: Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that can cause sweating for a few days after treatment.

By following these simple aftercare tips, you can ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process. Remember, everyone's body is different, and results can vary. During a consultation at Bonakdar Aesthetics, we can discuss your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results for smoother, more confident skin.
