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.

Laser hair removal is suitable for both men and women, typically aged 18 and older. Ideal candidates are looking for a long-term solution for unwanted hair on the:
Contraindications include individuals with certain skin conditions, those who are pregnant and people taking medications that increase sensitivity to light.
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.
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.
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!

| Skin Tone Suitability | Works best on hair that contrasts with skin tone | Works on all skin tones and hair colours | May vary depending on device and settings |
