Los Angeles Hair Removal

Waxing, plucking, threading and shaving can be painful, short-lived ways to deal with unwanted body and facial hair. Threading and plucking can only cover small areas, shaving can cause razor bumps, ingrown hairs and only lasts a day or two, and professional waxing costs really add up over time. For example, a fifty dollar bikini wax once a month adds up to a whopping six hundred dollars every year. Instead of paying six hundred dollars per year for a treatment that eliminates hair for two to four weeks at a time, invest in a long-term hair removal solution that gets rid of hair forever - laser hair removal.

The Renaissance Laser & Vein institute offers laser hair removal to our patients throughout Los Angeles and Southern California. Our clinic is located in Thousand Oaks for easy access to surrounding neighborhoods including Calabasas, Malibu, Westlake and Simi Valley. Highly trained staff and well-known cosmetic surgeons are qualified to eliminate your unwanted hair easily and efficiently with lasers. Laser hair removal can treat the smallest area of unwanted hair to extremely large areas including the back or legs. Though the majority of our Los Angeles laser hair removal patients are women, an increasing number of men also benefit from this procedure. Many men suffer from thick, persistent ingrown hairs on their face, chin and neck that become inflamed and raised. Laser hair removal is an ideal treatment for this condition, and will reduce or eliminate the thickness of new hair growth for smooth, ingrown-free skin.

Because hair grows in three distinct cycles, multiple laser hair removal treatments are necessary for permanent hair elimination. The three cycles include Anagen, the growth phase, catagen, the phase in which growth ceases, and the Telogen phase, in which hair falls out. In order to be permanently removed during laser treatment, the follicle must be in the Anagen (growth) phase. Hair cells that are in close proximity to each other are all in different phases simultaneously, which means that the hairs have to be treated more than once. Three to five treatments spaced a few weeks apart are usually sufficient for most patients to enjoy the long-lasting effects of laser hair removal.

The Renaissance Laser & Vein Institute is the first center in the Conejo Valley to offer the Pearl Procedure, and is one of a very few sites in Southern California where this technology can be accessed. Dr. Kouros Azar, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and one of the founding members of Renaissance Laser and Vein Institute was one of the very first doctors in California to have experience with using the Pearl in an expert fashion on many patients
