While it will take a few sessions to completely target all of the hair follicles, the results of the laser hair removal treatment completed in our San Diego, CA office may be seen right away.

Fontaine MD Reviews
RN Sarah Morin is amazing. She provided a great skin care regimen with IPL Facials for me. She followed up with texts to check on how my skin was reacting to treatments and truly cared about my experience. Rather than just running people through the schedule , Sarah truly took time to develop a stellar customer relationship which makes me feel like we can continue to work together over a long period of time (something that I don't feel is the norm anymore). I highly recommend the care you'll receive here, especially if you're lucky enough to book with Sarah.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Fontaine for the past 2 years, and it's been a great experience. As a 42-year-old male, I was looking for a clinic that offered comprehensive and personalized healthcare services, and they've exceeded my expectations. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. Dr. Fontaine and his team are experts in their field, and he demonstrates exceptional knowledge and genuine care for his patients. One of the highlights of my visit was the thoroughness of my consultation. Dr. Fontaine took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my treatment options in detail, and tailor a healthcare plan specifically for me. The level of attention and personalized care I received was a welcome change. I highly recommend Fontaine MD to anyone seeking top-notch, elevated medical services. Grateful to have found a great healthcare provider and will continue to trust them with my health in the future.
Dr. Fontaine is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. I highly recommend him!
I am so happy w Fontaine, MD, primarily because of Louise Bisby, RN. I have followed her from place to place for several reasons: she is an artist w filler work; what she does always looks natural and is decidedly flattering. She is also a lovely, kind, and attentive person who genuinely cares for and about her clients. I would recommend her over anyone else if you want a more refreshed and youthful appearance using fillers!
Louise Bisby, RN, does magic w fillers--she's truly an artist! Patient, caring, and very skilled. I followed her from one place to the other because I love the natural, flattering work she accomplishes w fillers (the use of which is far less drastic than plastic surgery to give ur face a lift). Louise is also a pleasure to know; she is not only a skilled practitioner to me but a friend!

About UsLaser Hair Removal FAQs
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal offers lasting improvements. While men and women can enjoy the treatment results for many years, it's technically semi-permanent since the laser may not affect some hair. Regardless, patients find most of the hair will not grow anymore after their treatment plan is done, and if stray hairs pop up, they are easier to deal with. More laser hair removal sessions can be performed to address any stragglers or new growth.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Follicles grow in phases. When some follicles are growing, other follicles are dormant. Since every hair follicle grows in various stages, several treatments are typically recommended to target each hair follicle when it is active. Scheduling your sessions over several weeks to help you get the smoothest, most effective result.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal can cause minor discomfort but is not considered painful. Patients may feel a slight sting when the laser targets and removes the hair follicle. Your technician can apply a local anesthetic on your skin before the start of your treatment. Patients who have been getting waxed often report that laser hair removal is more comfortable than a normal waxing session.
