Nowadays, more and more people are resorting to laser hair removal to remove any unwanted hair on the skin such as their faces, neck, back, chest, arms, legs, underarms, and bikini areas. Many of Dr. Umar’s clients who live in sunny cities such as Hermosa Beach have gone through with laser hair removal. But also, clients who live in colder climates still go through with laser hair removal due to frustration and time-consuming methods of waxing and shaving.
The most advanced laser hair removal technology today is the GentleYAG laser. This laser beams a light at a specific wavelength on the skin, where the unwanted hair is located. The beam of light then absorbs the pigment in the hair follicle.

One patient in Hermosa Beach asked Dr. Umar what benefits GentleYAG laser have compared to other popular treatments of laser hair removal and there are a number of them. GentleYAG is the leading hair removal laser because it rapidly treats large areas of skin without the limitations of older machines. One of the significant benefits of GentleYAG is that it can be used on all skin types due to its longer wavelength. For example, the laser was able to remove the coarse hair of a male patient in Hermosa Beach just as easily and effectively as the fine hair on a female’s upper lip. Another minor yet beneficial component of the laser is its cooled hand-piece. Unlike other equipment used in the past, GentleYAG puts patients more at ease and comfort while minimizing the adverse skin reaction. As stated earlier, GentleYag’s laser treats several hair follicles at a time, so it can be used to treat large surface areas quickly. Therefore, this advanced laser hair removal procedure works at the speed of shaving while giving the lasting result of electrolysis.
Although complete hair treatment may not be attained with any type of laser hair removal procedure, GentleYAG produces significant hair reduction in the areas treated. Life a few patients in Hermosa Beach, after about two to six treatments of laser hair removal, they were satisfied with Dr. Umar’s work and their results.
