What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. During the process, a laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Laser Hair Removal Vs Waxing

Laser hair removal and waxing are popular hair removal methods, but they differ significantly in process, effectiveness, cost, and long-term results. 

Laser Hair Removal is a more permanent solution, best for those looking for long-term results and willing to invest more upfront.

Waxing is more accessible and requires less upfront commitment but needs to be repeated regularly for continued results.

Laser Hair Removal vs Shaving

Laser hair removal and shaving are popular methods for removing unwanted hair, but they work very differently and offer distinct pros and cons. 

 Laser Hair Removal is best for those seeking a long-term solution to reduce hair growth, willing to invest time and money upfront, and are suitable candidates based on their hair and skin type.

Shaving is ideal for those who prefer a cost-effective, immediate, and convenient method, but it requires frequent upkeep and can cause skin irritation.

Preparation For Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Preparing correctly for your laser hair removal treatment can enhance its effectiveness and minimize potential side effects. Here are key steps to follow:

  • Avoid Sun Exposure
  • No Plucking or Waxing
  • Shaving is Okay
  • Clean Skin
  • Avoid Certain Medications
  • Wear Comfortable Clothing

Remember, each person’s experience with laser hair removal can be different, and following these preparation steps can help ensure the best possible outcome for your treatment.

Laser Hair Removal For Men

Laser hair removal for men has become increasingly popular as more men seek effective and long-lasting solutions for unwanted hair. This method can be particularly beneficial for men who experience ingrown hairs or razor burn from shaving or for those who simply prefer a cleaner, smoother look.

Benefits for men include: 

  • Reduces Ingrown Hairs
  • Saves Time Shaving
  • Permanent Results
  • Precision

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is the process of utilizing thermolysis to permanently destroy hair follicles. The laser is attracted to pigment in the hair follicle, causing the follicle to heat up and inhibit future hair growth. If the hair follicle does not contain any pigment, the laser will not target it. In other words, if hair is grey, white, blonde, or red, laser hair removal will be ineffective.

Is laser hair removal safe for my skin?

Laser hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. However, as with any medical or cosmetic procedure, there are risks and potential side effects to be aware of:

 

  • Skin Irritation
  • Pigment Changes
  • Crusting or Scabbing

How many treatments would I need?

Most laser hair removal patients are advised to undergo at least 6-10 treatment sessions, spaced apart over several months, to ensure that hair in all phases of the growth cycle are treated. Hair growth happens in three phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen phases.

The anagen phase is described as the active growth stage for hair. It is also when hair is strongest, making it the ideal time to be treated for laser hair removal. Catagen is the shortest of the growth cycle phases, lasting 1-3 weeks on average. About 1-3% of hairs are in catagen at any given time. During catagen, the hair follicle will shorten or regress to a fraction of the length it was in anagen. At this time, the dermal papilla detaches from the hair structure; causing the hair fiber to stop growing. Hairs that were uprooted during catagen will typically be shed or released during telogen. The telogen phase can last 1-3 months on average, depending on how long the dermal papilla remains in resting mode. Around 10% of hairs are in the telogen phase at any given time. Since the hair fiber has no root in telogen, hairs may easily be removed or fall our through brushing, combing, shampooing or plucking. If a hair stays put until the end of the telogen phase, it will be pushed out of the follicle when the next anagen phase begins.

Laser hair removal treatments can only effectively produce 80%-90% long term hair reduction if the unwanted hair is treated during the anagen (growth) phase.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Laser hair removal typically involves some level of discomfort. Still, the extent can vary depending on a few factors, such as the individual’s pain tolerance, the area being treated, and the type of laser used. 

Cooling Mechanisms: Many modern laser machines come equipped with cooling devices to help minimize discomfort.

Topical Anesthetics: Some clinics offer or allow the use of numbing creams before the procedure.

Adjusting Laser Settings: Experienced practitioners can adjust the laser settings to make the treatment more comfortable while still effective.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal offers several benefits over traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and electrolysis. Here are some of the key advantages:

  • Permanent Results
  • Precision
  • Speed of Treatment
  • Less Pain and Discomfort
  • Reduces Ingrown Hairs
  • Convenience
  • Improved Skin Texture
  • Cost-Effective in the Long Run
  • No Need to Grow Hair Between Treatments
  • Boosts Confidence

It’s important to note that individual experiences with laser hair removal can vary based on factors like skin type, hair colour, and the area being treated. Consulting with a qualified professional can help determine if it’s the right choice for your needs.

Am I able to undergo laser hair removal while pregnant?

We do not recommend laser hair removal for any client who is pregnant, breast feeding or planning to get pregnant in the near future. Health Canada has not cleared any laser technology as safe to use during pregnancy.
