Treating Unwanted Hair

A Lasting Alternative to Shaving and Waxing

Every method of removing hair at the surface has the same problem: the follicle underneath stays intact and grows the hair right back. Shaving leaves stubble within days and often causes razor bumps. Waxing lasts longer but pulls the hair out at an angle that leads to ingrowns. For people with coarse or dark hair, especially in a beach town where skin is on show most of the year, the cycle is constant.

Laser hair removal works on the follicle itself. Light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and heats the follicle enough to stop it producing. Because only follicles in their active growth phase respond, it takes a series of sessions to catch them all, but by the end most people see a 70 to 90 percent permanent reduction. At Swãe, we use devices suited to a range of skin tones and adjust settings to your skin and hair so treatment is both safe and effective.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses targeted light to disable hair follicles at the root, reducing growth permanently over a series of sessions. It's a long-term alternative to shaving, waxing and the irritation that comes with both.

FAQ

Any Questions?

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Treated follicles stop producing hair, giving long-term reduction of 70 to 90 percent. Occasional touch-ups once or twice a year maintain results.

‍

Does it work on all hair colors?

It works best on dark and medium-brown hair. Blonde, red, grey and white hair have too little pigment for the laser to target effectively.

‍

Is it safe for darker skin?

Yes. We use devices with wavelengths suited to deeper skin tones and adjust settings to protect the skin.

‍

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart. Hormonal areas like the face may need more.

‍

Does it hurt?

Each pulse feels like a quick snap followed by cooling. Sensitive areas like the bikini line feel more intense than the legs.

‍

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes. Shaving is fine and encouraged, but avoid waxing, plucking or threading since they remove the root the laser needs to target.

What Our Patients Say

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!

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!

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!

I visited Swae Medspa for the LaserMD Ultra Skin Resurfacing treatment, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly and thorough, walking me through exactly what to expect before, during, and after the treatment.

It's only been a couple of weeks, but I'm already noticing that my skin is looking smoother. I had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be back for more treatments at Swae. Can't wait to see the full results over the next few weeks!

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.

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.
