What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted light energy to safely and permanently reduce unwanted hair. The LightSheer Diode Laser emits a concentrated beam of light that’s absorbed by the pigment in your hair follicle. This heat energy destroys the follicle at its root while preserving the surrounding skin.

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to ensure full coverage across all growth phases. Most patients see optimal results after 4 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your laser hair removal treatment in San Mateo begins with a consultation to map out the areas you'd like treated. On the day of your session:

A topical numbing cream can be applied for comfort
The LightSheer Diode Laser is passed over the skin, delivering quick pulses of light
The ChillTip™ technology cools the skin with every pulse, reducing discomfort
The sensation is often described as a gentle snap, much milder than waxing

Each session typically lasts 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.

Recovery and Results

There is no downtime after laser hair removal. Most patients return to their usual activities immediately. After treatment:

You may experience mild redness or slight swelling, which resolves within a few hours
Treated hairs begin to shed over the next 2–3 weeks
Results improve with each session as hair regrowth becomes finer and lighter

To maintain long-term results, occasional touch-ups once or twice a year may be recommended.
