Overview

Laser Hair Removal

Smooth skin in the South Bay, treated in Torrance & Redondo Beach.

Medically reviewed by Monique P., NP — Nurse Practitioner, Skin Works Medical Spa •
Last reviewed:

Laser hair removal targets the pigment inside each hair root. The hair heats up and stops growing in that spot. Meanwhile, cooling guards your skin. Results build across a set series; upkeep is occasional afterward.

At Skin Works Medical Spa, licensed providers follow clear medical steps. We serve Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes, Gardena, Carson, Lomita, and San Pedro.

Essentials

Quick Answers

  • How many sessions? Most areas need 6–8, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
  • When do results show? Hair sheds in 1–3 weeks after each visit; reduction builds each session.
  • Does it hurt? Feels like quick snaps. Integrated cooling improves comfort.
  • All skin tones? Yes—Alexandrite/Diode/Nd:YAG cover Fitz I–VI with tuned settings.
  • Downtime? None for routine plans.

About the treatment

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Light finds the dark hair root, the root heats and growth slows or stops. Cooling protects your skin so comfort is higher and downtime is low.

Devices & tones

  • Diode/Alexandrite: lighter to medium tones
  • Nd:YAG: deeper tones/tanned skin
  • Energy, pulse width, spot size tailored by area & hair thickness

Series & cadence

Most areas need six visits, 4–6 weeks apart. Hormones can affect growth, so some spots may need extra sessions. Maintenance is occasional after your series.

Comfort & safety

  • Cooling tips plus gel
  • Pinkness or small bumps often fade within hours
  • No downtime for routine plans

Benefits

  • ◽️ Long-term reduction: less growth after each visit
  • ◽️ Fewer ingrowns: fewer bumps and less itch
  • ◽️ Precise targeting: custom settings for face, body, and limbs
  • ◽️ Suits many tones: diode, alexandrite, and Nd:YAG cover a wide range
  • ◽️ Efficient visits: most take 15–45 minutes

After you leave

Mild pinkness/small bumps often settle in hours. Use gentle cleanser & SPF; avoid hot tubs/saunas/strong exfoliants 24–48h.

FAQ

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

Who is a good candidate

Most skin types can be treated with the right device and settings. Grey/white/very light blond hairs have little pigment and may need other options.

Is it permanent

Expect long-term reduction. Hormones and new follicles can affect regrowth; occasional maintenance helps keep areas smooth.

Any side effects to know about

Temporary redness or mild swelling around follicles is common. With proper screening and settings, burns or pigment changes are rare.

Who should wait

If you have an active infection, take photosensitizing meds, recently waxed/epilated, or are pregnant without clearance, please wait. We confirm details during your consult.

Can I combine with other care

Yes. Many people pair treatments with clinical facials or peels on a staggered plan. Avoid strong actives on the same day.

Reviews

Marisol G., 25, Torrance April 19, 2025

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!

Hana L., 31, Redondo Beach September 12, 2024

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.

Rachel D., 38, Manhattan Beach June 13, 2025

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.

Shanice T., 29, Gardena December 16, 2023

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.

Anthony R., 34, San Pedro June 18, 2022

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.

Carmen V., 62, Carson April 23, 2021

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.

Miguel A., 41, Lomita April 16, 2020

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.

Nadia H., 28, El Segundo October 18, 2019

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.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Tap on a question to see the answer

How can you remove hair painlessly with a laser?

This treatment targets the hair’s pigment with a focused beam of light. First, the hair absorbs the light. Then, the energy turns to heat and damages the follicle, so it stops making new hair. Meanwhile, a cooling tip or cooling air protects your skin and keeps you comfortable. If needed, your provider can also apply numbing cream or use an ice pack to reduce any sting. As a result, most people feel quick snaps with good comfort throughout the session.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Overall, a trained, licensed professional can perform this treatment safely. However, every medical treatment carries some risk. Most people notice brief redness, itching, or swelling in the treated area after a session. In rare cases, scarring or changes in skin color can occur. To stay safe, research your provider, check credentials and reviews, and ask questions. Before your session, discuss your skin history, medications, and any concerns so your provider can tailor the plan and lower the risk.

Who can be treated with laser hair removal?

This treatment works on most body areas. Generally, people with light to medium skin and dark hair see the best results. Because the light targets pigment, very light or gray hair does not respond well. Also, very dark skin may limit settings and can reduce results. For the next step, meet with a qualified professional. During the visit, they will check your skin tone, hair color, and goals. Then, they will choose the safest device and settings for you.

Who cannot be treated with laser hair removal?

Some health conditions make this treatment a poor fit. For example, keloid scars or any active skin infection raise the risk. In these cases, wait until your skin heals or choose another option. Also, very dark skin can face higher risk because the device may target skin pigment instead of the hair. Skilled providers can lower risk with careful settings, but candidacy varies. In addition, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, postpone treatment. To stay safe, meet with a licensed professional. During the consult, share your medical history and medications so they can tailor a plan or suggest a safer choice.

What areas of my body can I treat with laser hair removal?

This treatment can target hair on most areas of the body. For example, providers often treat the face, underarms, legs, back, chest, and bikini. In addition, larger devices can cover big areas like the back or legs more quickly. However, do not treat the eyelid or the skin around the eyes, since light exposure there can harm the eyes. To personalize your plan, speak with a qualified professional. During the consult, they will review each area you want to treat and set safe, effective settings.

Will I need time to recover after laser hair removal?

This treatment is noninvasive and needs no downtime. Right after, you can return to normal activities. However, mild redness or swelling in the treated area can appear, and it usually fades within a few hours. For 24–48 hours, avoid sun exposure, skip heat (saunas or hot tubs), and do not exfoliate the area.
