1. They want more confidence.
Whether you have hair that grows back too quickly or just too much overall, laser hair removal can give you confidence of being smooth-skinned and free from unwanted hair. Our patients often tell us they feel better about showing a bit of skin once they've completed their treatments for laser hair removal in Los Angeles.

2. They want to look great.
Goes hand in hand with confidence. We've had brides come in for laser hair removal treatments who were actually planning to bring a razor in their purse on their wedding day because they were worried about getting a "5 o'clock" shadow under their arms part way through their big day (not always something you want showing up in your wedding photos!). Laser hair removal is the fast, safe and effective way to get skin that always looks smooth and sexy. No more growing out your hair waiting to get waxed!

3. Laser hair removal is a huge time-saver.
Yes, you do have to come in several times for laser hair removal, but the process is over once you are done. Imagine never having to find the time to get to a waxing appointment again! Even those who shaved prior to laser hair removal have told us that they spend less time getting ready on a regular basis because they aren't shaving in the shower.

4. Save money.
Of course laser hair removal might seem more expensive at first, but we encourage you to do the math (and don't forget to account for the value of your TIME too)! Over time, laser hair removal costs less than most other hair removal methods.

5. Eliminate Ingrown Hairs.
Ingrown hairs can be a huge problem for many people and cause discomfort, infections and embarassment. Since laser hair removal treats the roots of the hair, ingrown hairs are a thing of the past for those who have experienced hair removal at light speed with Cosmetique’s laser hair removal in Los Angeles.

Whether laser hair removal will work for you depends on several factors, the most important being your hair color and skin type. Individuals with dark hair and light-colored skin get maximum results. That's why we strongly encourage clients to avoid tanning before and after their laser hair removal. Light hair, such as blonde or red, contains a pigment that doesn't absorb laser energy as well as brown or black hair, and therefore does not respond as well to therapy. Those with very tan skin who have very light body hair are not usually suitable candidates for laser hair removal, because darkened skin absorbs too much light, and a laser is nothing but highly concentrated light. A major prerequisite for successful laser hair removal is that the patient’s hair is darker than the surrounding skin.

New laser technology has made it possible for people with a variety of skin tones (including dark complexions) to get significant results. We successfully treat many skin tones here at Cosmetique, due to our high-end technology and qualified practitioners. Consultations are complimentary, so you can call (310) 837-5555 to set up an appointment and get further pricing and information about the number of treatments you will need to meet your goals.

Many variables can affect the outcome of laser hair removal, and some patients require more sessions than others to produce the same results. Though the technique is highly advanced, there are no absolute guarantees in laser hair removal. Advertisements that guarantee reduction or permanent elimination of hair by this technique should not be trusted. Reputable clinics practicing laser hair removal do not make such misleading claims.

Look for clinics that use FDA-approved instruments and a trained medical staff. In general, more sessions bring better and longer-lasting results. The exact cost of laser hair removal depends on the size of the body area to undergo treatment, as well as on the general and specific physical characteristics of the patient. To obtain an estimate of how much it will cost, please call (310) 837-5555 to set up a free consultation.
