What if you never had to shave, tweeze, wax or sugar again?

Unwanted hair can be reduced with little to no discomfort using our advanced laser technology (together with a cooling device).

What does a laser hair removal procedure involve?

• Avoid sun exposure to the treatment area in the days and weeks before and after treatment.
• Avoid waxing or tweezing hairs. Hair must be visible at the surface of the skin.
• It is recommended to shave the area either the day of the procedure or 1-2 days prior.
• A topical anesthetic may be applied to the area but is not always necessary.
• Throughout the treatment session, the patient must wear protective eyewear.
• Cool air is delivered to the treatment area using a cooling device to minimize discomfort.
• Heat energy is then delivered using a laser to target unwanted hair.
• The sensation is described as a snap from a rubber band.
• Treatment sessions for small areas can be as short as 5-10 minutes. Larger areas take longer to treat.
• A course of 4-6 sessions every 6 weeks is recommended to achieve desired results.

What are the side effects of laser hair removal?

Side effects are minor and include:

• Pain during treatment. This is reduced by cooling and topical numbing cream.
• Mild sunburn sensation that may last a few days after the treatment.
• Redness and swelling.
• Unintended darkening or lightening of skin (called hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation).
• Paradoxical hair growth.
• Temporary or permanent gray hair.
• Scarring is a rare occurrence.
