What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal has risen to become a top choice for cosmetic procedures in America, offering a practical approach for the long-term diminishment of hair on both the face and body. This method ensures smoother skin and delivers enduring outcomes that outperform traditional hair removal techniques. At Starr MedSpa in Westlake Village and Studio City, CA, our team provides efficient and safe laser hair removal treatments suitable for all genders, targeting popular areas, like the legs, back, arms, face, chest, underarms, and bikini line.
What Is Our Laser Hair Removal Technique?
On the day of your procedure, you will be asked to lie in a private treatment room as the needed areas of your skin are washed to eliminate dirt, oil, and lotion. During laser hair removal, a team member will stretch out the area to create a clear path between the root of the hair follicle and the laser. The energy from the laser will focus on and destroy the hair follicle, which stops it from growing again. Typically, you will need to get a handful of treatments over a period of a month or longer to achieve your optimal results. Your treatments will be staggered to give the treated areas time to recover. This also allows time for follicles that were in the dormant phase to cycle into the active growth phase so the laser can be effective. The state-of-the-art laser technology we use at Starr MedSpa targets only the hair follicle, which preserves the skin in the treated area.
Frequency of treatment: every 4 – 6 weeks

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that varies in cost depending on the size of the treatment area, as well as how many sessions are needed to get a smooth result. To help put the cost of laser hair removal into perspective, consider the energy and time you currently spend on waxing, shaving, or other temporary hair removal methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is typically more cost-effective and will save you energy and time in the long run. We will develop a plan with the number of appointments you need and prices.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal is an effective treatment with long-lasting results. While men and women can enjoy the results of the procedure for many years, laser hair removal is considered semi-permanent because some follicles may not be affected by the laser. However, patients find most of their hair is gone after their treatment plan has concluded, and if stray hairs pop up, it is easier to manage. More laser hair removal treatments can be needed to take care of new growth and any stragglers.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Your hair growth occurs in cycles. When some hair follicles are growing, others are dormant. Since each hair follicle is in various stages, several treatments are usually needed to target each hair follicle when it is in a growing phase. Scheduling your sessions over a few weeks so you get effective results and smoother skin.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Your laser hair removal session can cause mild discomfort, but it is not considered too painful. Most patients will feel a slight sting as the laser targets and removes the hair follicle. We may apply a local anesthetic to your skin before the start of your treatment. Patients who have been getting waxed report that laser hair removal is more comfortable than a session of waxing.
Which laser is best to remove hair?
There are many laser systems available. Starr MedSpa is proud to offer state-of-the-art hair removal technology for women and men of varying hair types. Our laser delivers impressive results, and we upgrade our technology as newer lasers enter the marketplace. We encourage you to ask us about our system during your initial consultation.
