What to expect from laser hair treatments:

Laser hair removal uses technology in which a beam of light is applied to unwanted hair on various parts of the body. This light is a specific wavelength that targets the melanin—the pigment in the hair that gives it colour—in the hair follicle.

When the light enters the follicle, it is converted to heat energy that inactivates the follicle, preventing the hair from growing again.

There are three stages of hair growth. They are: Anagen—active growth; Catagen—a brief phase in which growth stops and resting begins, and Telogen—a resting phase in which no further growth occurs. In order for laser treatments to be effective, hair must be in the active growth stage—Anagen. 

Because individual hairs are at different stages of growth at any given time, multiple laser treatments are required to target all of them when they are in the Anagen stage.

Absolutely, laser hair removal is both safe and effective. Before all treatments you and your treatment provider will go over your history to

assure you receive a safe treatment.

There are certain physical characteristics that make some people better candidates for laser hair removal than others. However, because of the

advances in laser hair-removal technology, more people can now be treated successfully.

During your complimentary consultation, you and your technician will determine whether you are a good candidate for laser hair removal. Should you not be, the two of you can discuss other hair- removal alternatives.

While Health Canada approves laser technology as a method of permanent hair reduction, there is not yet enough evidence to indicate that it can permanently remove hair. 

During your treatment regime, you may experience some hair regrowth; however, complete regrowth in a treatment area is extremely rare. Very light-haired individuals are more likely to experience this outcome.
