Laser Hair Removal
in Beverly Hills, CA
Many people desire smooth skin free of unwanted body hair. Especially in the summertime or for those who live in warmer climates, it can be frustrating to feel the need to frequently remove body hair so you can feel confident in tank tops, crop tops, shorts, bathing suits, etc. Hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, and tweezing can be time-consuming and inconvenient to have to perform frequently. Not to mention, these methods can cause ingrown hairs, which can be a nuisance.
If you’re looking for an alternative hair removal method with long-lasting results, you may be a good fit for laser hair removal. Kadz Plastic Surgery offers laser hair removal in Beverly Hills so patients can enjoy smooth, hairless skin and feel confident in whatever clothing they choose to wear.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted hair from a variety of body and facial regions. The procedure works by using laser beams to target the unwanted hair follicles and destroy them, causing the hair to shed over the next few weeks and stunt future growth for a prolonged period. Laser hair removal results truly set this treatment apart from alternative methods; with this treatment, patients can enjoy smooth, hairless skin free of ingrown hairs for several weeks to months, depending on the patient and selected treatment area.
Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
You might be a laser hair removal candidate if you:
- Want to remove body or facial hair
- Have a high contrast between hair and skin color (dark hair & light skin)
- Are not prone to scarring or keloids

How Is Laser Hair Removal Performed?
Prior to your laser hair removal appointment, you’ll be instructed to stop waxing and tweezing the selected area for four to six weeks. This is important so you don’t pull out the unwanted hair follicles before they can undergo the laser treatment. You may also be instructed to shave the selected area 24 hours before your appointment to avoid stubble, which can cause discomfort with the laser.
On the day of your appointment, you may receive numbing cream over the treatment area to make you more comfortable. You will receive protective eyewear so your eyes will be safe from the laser. Your provider will pass the laser device over the unwanted body hair region, allowing the laser beams to absorb the hair follicles.
After your treatment, your provider will let you know when your next laser hair removal session is and how frequently you may need to come in to maintain your results.
What Is Laser Hair Removal Recovery Like?
Patients can expect their treatment areas to feel warm and have some redness for a few hours after their appointment. You may be instructed to ice the treatment areas to manage discomfort. To get the best possible results, it is important to avoid sun exposure on the treated areas for six weeks, or however long your provider instructs. During times when your skin is exposed to the sun, it is essential that you wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin.
What Results Can I Expect After Laser Hair Removal?
It may take a few days or weeks to see the targeted hair follicles fall out from the treated areas. Once this does occur, patients are able to enjoy smoother, hair-free skin. These results typically last several months, and some patients remain hairless in the treated region for years. Your provider will let you know how many treatment sessions are necessary to achieve your goals.
