My experience at the cardiff medical spa was nothing short of spectacular. Dr.Powell, the laser nurse, and the staff made me feel so comfortable and right at home. My results were fantastic. After just a few treatments i have very little hair left and I'm very pleased. I would recommend dr. powell and his staff to anyone, and I definetely plan on continuing to get my laser hair removal along with other treatments there in the future.

Laser Hair Removal
Dr. Powell and his Cardiff Medical Spa offer a relaxed and comfortable environment in which they offer laser hair removal in San Diego.

Lasers have been used for the removal of unwanted hair by physicians since 1998. Since that time the technology used has dramatically improved and patients, including those with dark skin, are seeing very good and lasting results. Generally laser hair removal is 80% to 90% effective, meaning 90% of hair in the area will likely remain gone. Follow up maintenance treatments may be needed at 6 months to a year following the initial series of treatment to maintain hair removal.

It’s important if you are considering laser hair removal to protect your skin from the sun. Lasers work by targeting the melanin pigment in your hair follicle and if your skin is more tan than normal, this can have an effect on the laser’s ability to properly target the hair. As the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, this will trigger the hair’s natural resting, or telogen, phase.

Contact one of our physicians today to learn more about this exciting treatment.
