Remove unwanted hair for smooth, silky skin.

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted laser energy to reduce unwanted hair by safely damaging the hair follicle for smoother, longer- lasting results.

WHAT WE DO

During Laser Hair Removal, we use intense pulsed light to target and destroy the hair follicles. As the follicles heat up, their natural growth process stops and the hair is destroyed. Eventually, treated hair falls out on its own in about 2 weeks after treatment.

After the shedding process, treated hair grows back. But with each laser hair removal treatment, your hair grows back lighter and finer. Over time, permanent hair reduction results in naturally, smooth skin. It is typical to start with 6 sessions done every 6-8 weeks, and then 1-2 maintenance sessions per year.

LASER RESURFACING

WHAT TO EXPECT

Things to know about laser hair removal include the following:

  • While the IPL’s filter for hair removal treats a wide range of wavelengths, it’s still true that laser hair removal is most effective if you have fair skin and dark hair. However, you may still be a candidate with other skin types, and fine or light hair. It doesn’t work on blonde, white, or grey hair, so we recommend our clinical grade body waxing to still get that silky smooth skin.
  • Avoid the urge to wax or pluck between each session of laser hair removal. This will reduce the efficacy of the treatment.
  • Shaving the day before laser hair removal is recommended.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL
FAQs

Is laser hair removal permanent?
  • Hair can be stubborn! You might have to continue shaving occasionally after laser hair removal. Also hormonal fluctuations, especially during puberty or pregnancy, can stimulate new hair to grow in areas already treated with laser. That’s why we call it laser hair reduction, not laser hair removal.
  • Typically patients start with a series of 6 sessions, and 1-2 maintenance sessions per year. Patients may continue to occasionally shave after laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the active growth stage aka the anagen phase. Because each individual hair in your body is at a different point in the growth cycle, you’re going to need several treatments to increase the likelihood of targeting the hair in the anagen phase.

I can't recommend skin bio enough! They're a one stop shop for everything you need! Everyone is so sweet, kind, and considerate. They take their time on services and make sure you are fully happy. I go to Cristina for Botox/filler and she's always so incredible! Recently I had a back facial by Chloe and it was the best one I've had. Will for sure be back. 10/10!

I have been going to SkinBio for a few years now and have had nothing but great experiences. The entire team is attentive & caring. I always know exactly what I am getting and have never had any issues. Per Dr. Borhani's recommendation, I recently tried a IV vitamin drip, which I truly believe greatly helped my body get back on track! Thank you!

The office is absolutely beautiful and stunning! Their staff is so welcoming and professional. They have the best medical esthecians by far! My skin feels and looks great and I'm looking forward to my next appointment!

I had the best experience at Skin Bio with nurse Cristina and nurse Randy. I feel like I was taken care of from the minute I stepped inside. My Botox took 30 minutes from the time I arrived. It was pain-free and my result was perfect. I love coming to skin bio because everyone is so friendly. Thank you again for creating a great experience for me.

Anytime I need to turn back the clock with this and little that Cristina knows exactly what I need and I always look better leaving. I can't trust my face to anyone else. She makes me feel at ease and I know she will always do a great job with either Botox or fillers.

From start to finish, I had the most incredible experience. When you first walk in, you are pleasantly welcomed with a beautiful, clean and welcoming environment. Staff are kind, warm and knowledgeable. I loved the detail that went into my skin consultation and how it directly correlated to the appropriate treatment modalities for my individual skin and goals. Cristina is a gem of a human being and as a clinician, she is skilled and incredibly helpful at assisting patients with navigating all of the options available. Based on her assessment, we decided on a couple of things over the next year. For my first session I did an IPL for unwanted sun spots, texture, fine lines etc and had no pain whatsoever. It was so much better than my last laser at another provider in W. Hollywood. Additionally, I left with an understanding of how to take better care of my skin and had another appointment already booked before leaving. I highly recommend Skin Bio, Cristina and this incredible business. Pricing is up front and competitive and parking is plentiful. I look forward to my next visit!

I just couldn't be happier!!!! Literally just go, go, go to Skin Bio!


I saw Cristina for fillers and let me tell you, her eye for detail and symmetry is impeccable. 10 out of 10 amazing when it comes to results. Doesn't over do it, goes over everything with you before hand, and listens to all your concerns. She is also so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.


I also did a diamond facial by Melanie and that is simply the best facial I have had in quite some time. She spent a good amount of time perfecting my face and my pores but also, she is so very lovely.


I will absolutely be back again soon for more face and body love!! Totally impressed!

I have had TWO great experiences at Skin Bio - my first was with Cristina for Botox and filler and she did a wonderful job. My migraines have drastically decreased and the work she did looks very natural. It was exactly what I wanted and by far the best work I've ever had done on my face. The second amazing experience I had was with Melanie - she did an acne facial which I haven't had in years but I definitely needed after experiencing some hormonal acne breakouts. She was clearly very experienced with this. She did an amazing job extracting everything from my skin and was also fun to talk to and very personable. She went above and beyond for me, even went over time to make sure she took care of all my skin's needs. I will be recommending everyone I know to go to this spot for whatever they need done and I will definitely be a consistent customer. I am so happy with all the services I've had done here. 10/10 highly recommend.
