How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal uses a concentrated light beam to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The CynoSure Elite+ system is a Health Canada-approved medical laser designed to treat various skin types and hair colours, making it versatile and effective for everyone. 

Laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle, causing the follicle to heat up, become damaged and thus be unable to produce hair. This process significantly reduces hair growth in the treated area, offering a long-term solution to unwanted hair.

  • Brazilian

Before & Afters

After one session, you may notice a reduction in hair density. After a few treatments, hair growth is significantly reduced and any regrowth is finer and lighter. After a full treatment course, you'll experience up to 90% permanent reduction in hair on the treated area. 

What To Expect From Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

First time at a laser clinic? Here's what to expect. You'll lie on a comfortable treatment table and be given eye protection, then your provider will pass the handpiece over the treatment area. You will feel brief heat as the laser targets the hair follicles, a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. 

The procedure is relatively quick, with each session lasting from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area. After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

The cost of laser hair removal varies based on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required. Larger areas like the legs or back will cost more than smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms. For a personalized quote and to discuss our affordable treatment packages, contact us today! 

Laser Hair Removal vs. Electrolysis vs. IPL: What’s the Difference?

While laser hair removal is a powerful solution for unwanted hair, there are two other options to consider: electrolysis and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Here's a breakdown of how they differ:

  • Electrolysis: This method uses a thin probe to deliver radio waves or electrical current directly to each hair follicle. This damages the follicle, preventing future hair growth. Unlike laser hair removal and IPL, electrolysis is a permanent hair removal solution but requires treating each follicle individually, making it a slower process.
  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Similar to laser hair removal, IPL uses light pulses to target hair follicles. However, IPL uses a broader spectrum of light compared to lasers. While IPL can be effective for hair removal, it's generally less powerful than lasers and may require more frequent sessions. It can also be less suitable for certain skin tones and hair colors.
