How does laser hair removal work?

Imagine never having to deal with razor burns or messy shaves again. Laser hair removal makes this possible by using beams of highly concentrated light designed specifically to remove unwanted hair. These light beams target the melanin (or color) in your hair follicles, heating them up and ultimately disrupting the growth cycle. What's great about this technology is its precision. It targets hairs without harming the surrounding skin, making it a smart choice for delicate areas.

Is laser hair removal safe for the bikini area?

At Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine, your safety is our top concern. Laser hair removal has a long track record of safety when performed by trained professionals. Dr. Fontaine is experienced in handling each patient's unique needs, especially when it comes to more sensitive spots like the bikini area. We adjust the laser settings according to your skin and hair type, ensuring a safe procedure with minimal discomfort. Most clients experience slight redness or sensitivity after treatment, but this usually subsides quickly.

Is laser hair removal painful?

No one loves the pinch of a wax strip, and thankfully, laser hair removal in the bikini area is often less painful than waxing. The sensation is often compared to the snap of a small rubber band against the skin. While the bikini area is a bit more sensitive, our clients generally report that it's quite manageable. Plus, our lasers come with cooling features to help soothe your skin as we go, making the experience as comfortable as possible.

How many laser hair treatments will I need?

Everyone's hair grows at its own pace, and this growth occurs in cycles. For effective laser hair removal in the bikini area, it's crucial to target hairs during their growth phase when they're most vulnerable to the laser. At Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine, we schedule these sessions several weeks apart. This interval allows your skin to heal properly between treatments and ensures that different hair follicles, which might have been dormant during earlier sessions, are now in the growth phase and ready to be targeted. Our approach is to personalize your treatment plan, adapting to your hair's unique growth cycle to ensure comprehensive and lasting results in San Diego.

When I came to Dr. Fontaine several years ago, I was going into early menopause and experiencing so many symptoms. Hot flashes, fatigue, pain, brain fog, and depression that were being dismissed by my regular doctors. Dr. Fontaine was truly a godsend. He listened, took my concerns seriously, and helped me create a plan that worked for my body. Over time, we adjusted my medication, and I now feel 100% better. I’m so grateful for his care and support!

Louise initially treated me with Botox at an MD clinic I had been using for years. I was so pleased with my results, when she moved to Fontaine MD I followed her even though it was much farther away. Recently, I decided to also get fillers and expressed to her my desire for a very natural and youthful look, and she nailed it! She is a licensed RN with an Art degree therefore she really understands the anatomy and symmetry of the face. She is welcoming, professional, never rushes and very skilled at injecting both Botox and fillers, I highly recommend Louise!I also highly recommend Fontaine MD, great Doctor, and staff in a lovely, serene setting. They were instrumental in aiding me in a 20+ lb weight loss (so easy) and I could not be more grateful. I feel and look so much better and have maintained my new weight. That is not easy for many 60-year-old females.

Louise is absolutely wonderful to work with! I have seen her for both an IPL facial and Botox (my very first time!). She took the time to answer my questions, address my concerns, and put my mind at ease. I could sense that I was in the hands of someone who was going to take care of me. Louise cares about her clients and their desired outcomes. I have done IPL facials in the past with other providers and the procedures felt very harsh on my skin. With Louise, my skin was not red, bumpy, or painful after and my sunspots were treated effectively! I also trusted Louise with my first Botox experience. Louise made me feel both comfortable and excited about the natural but effective results I was hoping to have! I am thankful I found Louise and will be a returning client!

N.B. Yelp

Louise listened to my skin concerns, made recommendations and completed Botox and filler procedures that that made an amazing difference!

Before seeing Dr. Fontaine, I had no idea I could feel better. I just assumed that as I got older, low energy, hormonal struggles, and general decline were just part of life—something I had to accept. Looking back, I realize how much I had normalized feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and off-balance. My energy had dipped, my sleep was inconsistent, and no matter what I did, things like weight gain and mood swings seemed unavoidable. I wasn’t in crisis—I just wasn’t thriving. Dr. Fontaine completely changed that. From the first appointment, he took the time to listen, evaluate my symptoms, and explain what was really happening in my body. Seeing my lab results was an eye-opener—I finally had real data that explained why I felt the way I did. Within a couple of months of starting treatment, I started feeling like myself again. My energy improved, my focus sharpened, and I finally started sleeping through the night. Over time, the changes were undeniable—I was stronger, my mood was steady, and I didn’t feel like I was constantly fighting against my own body. Dr. Fontaine has been with me every step of the way, adjusting my treatment as needed and making sure I feel my best. He’s thorough, knowledgeable, and truly invested in his patients' well-being. I never feel rushed in my appointments, and he always takes the time to answer my questions. I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on until I started feeling this good again. Now, I feel like I’ve regained the energy, confidence, and vitality I thought were long gone. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Fontaine for helping me.
