Everything You Need To Know Before Undergoing Laser Hair Removal

Are you looking for Laser Hair Removal?

Are you a performance artist or athlete suffering from excessive hair? Are you tired of tweezing, waxing, and shaving ingrown hair? Are you looking for a solution to remove unwanted and excessive hair permanently? Well, then you have reached the correct destination. Read on to know more about Laser Hair Removal or get in touch with our experts in Scarborough for an appointment.

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a process that uses laser pulse light that is absorbed by the color of the hair follicle and helps to destroy it from the root. It is a common and popular method of permanent hair removal.

What type of technology do we use?

We use Alma SHR that has a super hair removal system (SHR) and is an innovative treatment. SHR utilizes concentrated light beams to destroy hair follicles truly removing them from the root. Each pulse of light is an incredibly narrow, specific wave length of energy that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. The process involves gradual heating of the melanin and hair follicles with effective heat buildup to destroy the hair leading to long-lasting results.

How does it work?

Unlike other laser treatments and short-term waxing, you will experience a more painless session and there is no need for any numbing or anesthesia. By targeting the area under the skin’s surface, your skin is left completely intact and untouched with no visible symptoms. The laser treatment is paired with an effective air cooling tool on the surface so that, at the most, your skin will feel a little warm and tingly.

How many sessions will I need?

Sessions will vary depending on your consultation with your laser technician. The actual number of treatment sessions will vary between patients depending on genetics and other factors. Usually, you will see the best results within 6 to 12 sessions.

Am I a good candidate for the laser?

Our Alma SHR Laser is safe for all skin tones including tanned skin.

  • Laser hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic procedures across the world

  • It is best to avoid wax epilation before undergoing laser removal treatment.
  • Lasers can be risky for both the patient and device operator
  • Prior to any treatment it is important to review informed consent with each patient
  • Important variables that help tailor laser-tissue interactions for a given patient include spot size, pulse duration, skin cooling and wavelengths
