Treating the Scalp

Understanding Hair Loss Before Treating It

Hair loss has many causes, and they don't all respond to the same thing. Genetic and hormonal thinning gradually shrinks follicles over years. Stress, illness, childbirth and nutrient deficiencies cause sudden shedding that often recovers on its own but sometimes needs a push. Thyroid changes, certain medications and scalp conditions each have their own pattern. Treating without knowing the cause is why so many products disappoint.

At Swãe, scalp treatment begins with an assessment of the pattern and stage of thinning, your health history and, where useful, lab work. From there, we combine in-clinic treatments that stimulate follicles with at-home therapies that address the underlying cause. Results take months, because follicles grow slowly, and we'll be honest from the start about what's realistic for your stage of loss.

Services That Treat the Scalp

The treatments below are designed to stimulate follicles, slow further loss and support regrowth. Most work best in combination and as part of a program with regular review. Each service page explains how the treatment works, what a typical course looks like and when to expect results.

‍

Hair Restoration

Hair restoration at Swãe uses non-surgical treatments to stimulate dormant follicles, slow further loss and encourage thicker regrowth. It works best in the early to moderate stages of thinning, when follicles are still alive.

FAQ

Any Questions?

How do I know if my hair loss is normal?

Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. If you're noticing more scalp, a wider part, a smaller ponytail or clumps in the shower, it's worth an assessment.

‍

Can hair loss be reversed?

Follicles that have shrunk but are still alive can be stimulated to regrow. Follicles that have fully closed can't, which is why early treatment matters.

‍

Do treatments work for women?

Yes. Female pattern thinning and postpartum shedding both respond well to treatment.

‍

How long before I see results?

Reduced shedding is usually the first sign at two to three months, with visible regrowth at three to six months.

‍

Will I need to keep treating my scalp?

Usually yes, since most hair loss is progressive. Maintenance sessions and continued at-home care protect the gains you've made.

‍

Is scalp treatment painful?

The scalp is numbed before in-clinic treatments, so you'll feel pressure rather than pain, with mild tenderness afterward.

What Our Patients Say

This is the new go to, ladies and gents. I had an amazing experience at Swae getting hair laser removal, and the customer service is top notch. The technicians were kind and professional, keeping me informed all the time of what was happening. The laser itself was shockingly painless. It felt like a puff of air and water. I truly couldn’t believe that it was a laser. The process was super quick and I was out the door in 10 minutes! I used to go to Sev but I’m a convert now and will definitely be back. Go! It’s worth it.

I recently got laser hair removal at Swãe Med Spa and had such a great experience! The clinic itself is absolutely beautiful with such an aesthetic and relaxing vibe. Giselle the PA and Nurse Nicole were both so friendly, knowledgeable, and gentle throughout the entire appointment. They made me feel so comfortable and walked me through everything. I was honestly surprised by how little it hurt! I would definitely recommend Swãe Med Spa to anyone needing laser hair removal or any other beauty needs!

Clara B.

I cannot express enough how beautiful this place is! The location is in the heart of Hermosa, right next to tower 12. It’s super easy to find upstairs and perfect for a quick, calming break from work. From start to finish, I felt so welcomed and the nurses took their time describing each step and made me feel at ease. The laser hair removal was so fast and painless, I now want to get my entire body done. The new machine is so powerful, the nurses anticipated less treatments than I’m used to. I already bought packages and recommend to this place to everyone!

Rita J.

SWAE is a new med spa I found in Hermosa Beach. I went in for skin tightening and my very first laser hair removal treatment. I've always wanted to try laser hair removal and I can't believe I've never done this before! It was completely painless and so quick, and the nurses made the experience so comfortable and even fun! The skin tightening treatment was painless as well, and I noticed that my skin already feels smoother and tighter as the days go by. I purchased a package so I can continue with my laser hair removal treatments, and I'm definitely going back for more skin treatments!

Jennifer K.

I had an incredible experience at the new med spa, Swae, on the Hermosa Beach Pier. The space is beautiful, you feel like you’re in a spa, everything is brand new, and the staff and team are all so helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I went for the XERF treatment and my skin is looking firmer immediately. This was a brand new treatment for me and they took extra care making sure I understood what to expect and that I was comfortable. Lauren is amazing, as is the whole team! Will definitely be back!

Danielle D.

I had a great experience with laser hair removal at Swae Med Spa! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going in, but the professionalism, knowledge, and care of the staff made the entire experience comfortable.

A huge shout out to Nicole and Giselle for making it such a positive experience. I’ll definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend Swae Med Spa to anyone considering laser hair removal!
