Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal?
In general, if you have a concern about unwanted hair, you are probably a candidate and should inquire about how we can help you.
There are some limitations with certain skin and hair colors.
Is there an age limit for laser hair removal?
Women and men of all ages - from teens to older adults, have been treated and are enjoying the benefits of laser hair removal.
Is laser hair treatment safe?
YES.
Each of our state-of-the-art lasers must be approved by the Canadian Medical Safety Board, the FDA, and the Canadian Standards Association.
Does laser treatment hurt?
Because of our cooling systems, laser treatments are relatively painless. Occassionaly, there may be tingling sensation.
Because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, a topical anesthetic may be applied to increase comfort during the procedure.
How many laser hair removal treatments do I need?
Not all hairs are actively growing at the same time. The laser disables hairs that are in the active growth phase at the same time of the treatment. At any time, some follicles are dormant.
Additional treatments will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.
Treatments are usually done at intervals of 4-6 weeks depending on the body area.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
Over time, because of its permanency, laser hair removal is comparative to other hair removal methods such as electrolysis. In addition, because we are solely committed to laser hair removal, our prices are extremely competitive.
Does laser hair removal give permanent results?
YES.
Our state-of-the-art laser systems cause permanent hair reduction and delayed re-growth of the treated areas. Clients will notice that the hair that does re-grow will be lighter, softer and finer in texture.
How do I prepare for laser hair removal treatment?
There are some steps you will be asked to take before your laser hair removal treatment begins. These steps should be followed for best results.
Some of these steps include wearing sunscrean SPF 30 for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment and avoiding sun exposure (tanned skin does not allow maximum treatment and can increase adverse reactions).
Avoid waxing, electrolysis, or plucking for one month prior to treatment. Skin pre-treatment with bleaching agents is required in some patients with a suntan or darker skin tones. (Our qualified laser staff will advise you if this is needed).
Are there any complications from laser hair removal?
Immediate after-effects, if any, are minor. They may include redness and swelling, which disappear in a short time.
Most people return to normal activity immediately following a laser hair treatment.
