Laser hair removal targets the pigment inside each hair root. The hair absorbs light, heats up, and growth in that follicle slows or stops. Cooling protects your skin so comfort is higher and downtime stays low. Results build over a series, with occasional maintenance afterward.
At Skin Works Medical Spa, licensed providers follow clear medical protocols. We serve Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes, Gardena, Carson, Lomita, and San Pedro.
Light energy finds the pigment in the hair root. The root heats and growth slows or stops. Cooling protects your skin so comfort is higher and downtime is low. A full series reaches hairs in different growth stages so results are more even and lasting.
Most areas need a series of about six visits, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hormones and hair thickness can influence the total number of sessions. After your initial series, maintenance is occasional and based on how your hair responds.
Many methods remove hair. Only laser reduction treats many follicles at once and slows regrowth so that shaving and waxing become less frequent over time. As your series progresses, stubble softens, ingrowns often reduce, and skin looks calmer.
Pricing is the same for everyone and based on the treatment area. You can choose single sessions or save with 5+1 packages. A typical plan involves 6–8 sessions every 4–6 weeks.

Your official quote is provided in writing after consultation so that you have clear expectations for your series, maintenance, and any applicable promotions.
Everyone imagines something slightly different when they say “full body laser hair removal.” For one person, it might mean legs, bikini, and underarms. For another, it may also include arms, back, chest, or abdomen. Instead of a rigid bundle that may not match your goals, we map out your areas and build a plan that fits your skin, hair, and lifestyle.
During your consultation, we provide a clear written quote for your personalized full body plan and review payment and financing options so the process stays predictable.
We welcome all clients. Pricing is listed by area and is the same for everyone. Treatment plans are personalized based on hair density, growth cycles, skin tone, and goals, not gender or identity.
Session estimates are based on hair and skin characteristics and treatment goals. Many men need the higher end of the series range because of natural hair density and hormone patterns, and plans are adjusted accordingly.
Avoid tanning and self tanners for 1–2 weeks. Shave the area 12–24 hours before your visit. Let us know about medications, active skincare, or recent procedures. A patch test may be recommended for sensitive skin.
You feel quick snaps as follicles absorb light. Built in cooling and gel support comfort. Most visits take about 15–45 minutes depending on the area size and number of zones treated.
Mild pinkness or small bumps around follicles often settle within hours. Use gentle cleanser and SPF. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and strong exfoliants for 24–48 hours or as directed by your provider.
Progress shows in stages. First, treated hairs loosen and shed. Next, gaps appear and stubble feels softer. With time, regrowth slows and many areas feel smooth between visits.
Shedding begins and stubble feels lighter.
Visible gaps in growth, fewer ingrown hairs for many people.
Series wraps for many areas; maintenance is occasional and based on response.
| Category | Laser | Waxing | Electrolysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Longevity | Long term reduction for many follicles at once | Smooth for a few weeks | Permanent per follicle when fully treated |
| Best use | Small to large areas with darker hair | Short term smoothing for any hair color | Tiny spots or light hairs that do not respond to laser |
| Discomfort | Quick snaps with cooling | Pull sensation as hair is removed from the root | Pinpoint heat for each follicle |
We price by treatment area and keep everything transparent. If you prefer smaller payments, we offer flexible options through Klarna, Affirm, and CareCredit. Approval and terms are provided by each lender at checkout; we do not add clinic finance fees.
*Illustrative only. Actual terms and APR are shown by the lender before checkout.
Plans are based on hair density, growth cycles, and area size. We do not vary pricing by gender.

Financing is subject to approval by each lender. Terms, APR, and promotional eligibility are provided by each lender. Cosmetic laser services are generally not HSA or FSA eligible; please check your plan.
At Skin Works Medical Spa, laser hair removal is performed by Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners. We review goals and skin type, check medications and recent sun exposure, then set safe starting settings and treat with steady, even passes. After each visit, you receive clear aftercare guidance.
We use the Lutronic Clarity II with 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths. Settings are matched to your skin type and hair pattern. Built in cooling supports comfort and protects the surface of the skin.
Individual results vary with hair color, density, hormones, and how closely aftercare and sun guidelines are followed.
Want to see examples and step‑by‑step laser sessions? We post weekly clips and tips.

All laser hair removal treatments are supervised by our Nurse Practitioner with advanced training on Lutronic Clarity II (755 nm Alexandrite, 1064 nm Nd:YAG) and Nd:YAG systems. With more than twenty years in aesthetics and thousands of laser hair removal sessions performed, she supports the team in delivering safe, effective care.
Visit us at 2573 Pacific Coast Highway, Rolling Hills Plaza, Torrance. Parking is easy and freeway access is quick. Most South Bay neighborhoods are 5–20 minutes away, including Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes, El Segundo, Gardena, Carson, Lomita, and San Pedro.
Many skin types can be treated safely with the right device and settings. Grey, white, and very light blond hairs have little pigment, so they may respond less and can require alternative options. Your provider will review your hair and skin pattern during consultation.
Laser hair removal is best described as long term reduction. Hormones, new follicles, and lifestyle can affect regrowth. Many people enjoy long periods of reduced growth and choose occasional maintenance visits to keep areas smooth.
Temporary redness or mild swelling around follicles is common and usually fades within hours. With proper screening and settings, burns or pigment changes are rare. Your provider will explain what to expect and how to care for your skin after treatment.
If you have an active infection, are taking photosensitizing medications, recently waxed or epilated the area, or are pregnant without clearance, you may need to wait. We confirm these details at your consultation and suggest the safest timing.
Yes. Many people pair laser hair removal with facials, peels, or body treatments on a staggered schedule. We help you plan timing so that your skin stays calm and healing between different services.

Omg why didn’t I do this earlier?? I used to shave my legs every other day. Now after like 6 sessions the hair barely grows and it’s so thin you can’t see it. No more razor burn, no more itchy stubble. Summer is way easier now!
I did laser for my armpits. It was quick. Little zap feeling but not bad. After some sessions, no more shadow or bumps. I feel clean and fresh all the time.
I invested in full-body laser hair removal after years of waxing and shaving. It’s been life-changing. My skin is smoother everywhere, and I save so much time getting ready. I also don’t worry about ingrowns or irritation anymore. Worth every penny.
Waxing was killing me every month. I switched to laser bikini line and I’ll never go back. No bumps, no pain after, just smooth. Took a couple of visits to really see it but now it’s basically gone. So happy I did it.
I hated the hair on my back, always felt self conscious at the beach. Tried laser and after a few times it’s like 70% gone. Way less thick too. Don’t feel weird taking my shirt off now. Best money I spent on myself.
I’m 62 and started growing dark hair on my lip and chin after menopause. Very embarrassing. The girls at Skin Works treated me so kind, and the laser removed almost all of it. Now I feel confident again. Thank you.
Did chest laser cause I got tired of shaving. Hurts a little but not bad, feels like snaps. Took about 5 times but now it’s so much less hair. My shirts feel better, less sweaty too. I recommend it to guys.
I have very thick arm hair from teenager time. Always cover with long sleeves. I do laser, now hair very little, soft. Skin look smooth, I feel good wear short sleeve dress. I feel more free.
