Smooth, Confident Skin With Physician-Led Laser Hair Removal
Nothing should get in the way of showing off your skin, including unwanted hair. At PRFCT in La Jolla, we use medical-grade, FDA-cleared 810 diode technology to deliver energy to the hair follicle, inhibit regrowth, and reduce pigment. Our chilled sapphire tip keeps treatment comfortable while our providers tailor wavelength and handpiece selection to your skin and hair for refined, long-lasting results.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal delivers light energy to the hair follicle during the active growth phase, targeting melanin to disrupt the follicle and slow regrowth. Our 810 diode platform allows us to customize for small areas of fine hair or larger areas with dense growth, across a range of skin types, with minimal downtime.

The PRFCT Process
In-Depth Consultation
We review your skin and hair history, medications, and goals. You’ll receive a personalized series plan and prep instructions.
Comfort And Customization
Your provider selects the ideal handpiece and settings for your skin tone and hair caliber. A chilled sapphire tip cools the skin before, during, and after each pulse.
Treatment Day
Most sessions take 10 to 30 minutes depending on the area. You’ll feel quick snaps of warmth; settings are adjusted for comfort.
Recovery Phase
Mild redness or swelling like a light sunburn can appear and typically settles within hours. Treated hairs begin to shed over 5 to 10 days.
Results And Rhythm
A typical plan includes a series of sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Most clients see significant, long-term reduction after a series, with occasional maintenance.
Pre + Post Care Instructions
Before Your Treatment
- Do not wax, tweeze, thread, or use depilatories for three weeks before treatment. Hair must be present in the follicle.
- Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Do not apply lotion, deodorant, perfume, or sunscreen on treatment day.
- Shave the area the day of treatment for a close shave. In-office shaving may incur a fee.
- Exfoliate 2 to 3 days before treatment to help prevent ingrowns.
- Tell your provider if you have a history of cold sores, are on photosensitizing medications, recently used isotretinoin, or have PCOS. Some conditions or medications may affect candidacy.
- Pause retinoids and acids on the area for 2 to 3 days prior unless otherwise directed.
After Your Treatment
- Mild redness and swelling can last a few hours, sometimes up to 2 to 3 days. Cool packs may be used, do not apply ice directly.
- Keep the area product-free for 24 hours; then resume gentle skincare as instructed.
- Avoid sweaty workouts, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 hours; avoid public water for 2 to 3 days.
- Protect with broad-spectrum mineral SPF daily; avoid sun until skin returns to baseline.
- Begin gentle exfoliation around day 3 if the skin looks normal, to help minimize ingrowns. Do not pick or scratch.
- Expect hair “shedding” over 5 to 10 days; what looks like growth is often the hair shaft being expelled.
- Sessions are typically repeated every 4 to 6 weeks. Most clients need about 6 sessions; some may require up to 10, with periodic maintenance.
