Why Choose Laser Hair Removal Over Waxing in Ottawa
Ditch the wax strips—there’s a better way to achieve long-lasting smoothness. At Dermis Advanced Skin Care in Ottawa, we offer physician-led laser hair removal that delivers consistent, comfortable, and cost-effective results. Whether you’re tired of the pain, regrowth, or expense of waxing, our advanced treatments offer a modern, clinically backed alternative tailored to your skin.
Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated light energy into the hair follicle, effectively damaging it to inhibit future growth. It’s a safe, efficient, and increasingly popular solution for both women and men looking to reduce unwanted hair with precision and lasting benefits.
Smooth Results That Last
Why regrowth shouldn’t be part of your routine
Waxing removes hair at the root, but results fade fast. You’re left waiting for regrowth before your next session, often dealing with ingrown hairs and irritation. Laser hair removal targets the follicle itself, reducing its ability to grow back—and giving you smoother skin for much longer.
What makes laser hair removal unique is its ability to deliver targeted treatment without damaging the surrounding skin. As a result, you experience fewer side effects and longer-lasting smoothness compared to traditional waxing.
Benefits of choosing laser hair removal:
- Longer-lasting results that can extend up to 18 months with maintenance
- Less frequent treatments compared to monthly waxing
- Ideal for hard-to-reach or sensitive areas like bikini, underarms, or facial hair
- Noticeable reduction in ingrown hairs and bumps
- Suitable for all skin tones with Cutera® ExcelHR technology
Laser offers a level of consistency that waxing simply can’t match.
A Smarter Investment Over Time
More value, less maintenance
Though waxing may seem more affordable upfront, the costs add up quickly. Regular appointments, travel time, and product expenses make waxing an ongoing investment—with only short-term payoff.
Laser hair removal reduces these recurring costs and frees you from constant upkeep. Over the course of a year, many clients find that they save both time and money compared to a waxing regimen.
This is especially true for those treating multiple areas. While waxing requires repeat visits and ongoing product use, laser hair removal at Dermis can target several areas in a single session—offering maximum results with minimal effort.
- Sessions spaced further apart after initial treatments
- Cutera ExcelHR allows fast treatment of large and small areas
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees—view our Treatments and Pricing page for details
- Pay once for long-term smoothness
It’s not just an aesthetic upgrade—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
Comfort Meets Technology
A gentler experience, clinically delivered
If you’ve ever winced during waxing, you’re not alone. Waxing can be painful and unpredictable, especially on sensitive skin. Laser treatments at Dermis are designed for comfort, using built-in cooling systems and medically supervised protocols.
Many clients are surprised by how quick and manageable laser hair removal sessions are. Most describe the feeling as a mild snap—similar to a rubber band—making it an easier alternative to the sharp sting of waxing.
Your treatment is handled by experienced professionals who adjust settings based on your skin’s tone and sensitivity, ensuring each session is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Here’s how we prioritize your comfort:
- Clients describe the feeling as a quick “snap,” far less painful than waxing
- No ripping, tearing, or post-treatment inflammation
- Immediate return to daily activities—no downtime
- Tailored treatment plans based on your skin tone and hair type
Our clinic is led by experienced professionals who ensure every session is safe, precise, and personalized.
