At Canada MedLaser, we offer state-of-the-art laser hair removal treatments that give you lasting results, freeing up your time and boosting your confidence.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, significantly reducing hair growth. Unlike temporary hair removal methods, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution by targeting the root of the problem—literally.
How Laser Hair Removal Works

How It Works

Using the advanced Candela GentleMax Pro® hair removal technology, a laser emits light pulses that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. This light energy transforms into heat, damaging the follicles and inhibiting future hair growth. Our system is customizable, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your specific skin tone and hair color, ensuring both efficacy and safety.

Understanding Hair Growth

Excessive hair growth, also known as hirsutism, can be caused by various factors including genetics, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical conditions. Hormones like androgens play a significant role in stimulating hair growth, particularly in areas like the face, chest, and back. Hair grows in cycles, with each follicle undergoing a growth phase (anagen), a transitional phase (catagen), and a resting phase (telogen). Laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase when the hair is still connected to the follicle, making it easier for the laser to disrupt the growth cycle.

How Many Sessions Will It Take to Get Hair-Free Skin?

Achieving desired results typically requires multiple sessions, as hair growth occurs in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. On average, clients see significant hair reduction after 8-10 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Some areas may need additional treatments based on hair density and growth patterns.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Whether you’re a man or a woman, you have probably pondered the inconvenience of removing unwanted body or facial hair more than once. Shaving your face or legs can be time-consuming and expensive, and we’ve all felt the pain inflicted by the knick of a razor. And when trying alternative methods, such depilatory creams or waxing, one may find themselves dealing with skin rashes or pain. All that, only for the hair to start growing back soon. One can say goodbye to the hassle by booking a series of laser hair removal treatments, which will gradually stop hair in these targeted areas from growing. This method centres around the fact that melanin, or pigment, contained within the hair follicles attract and absorb light. Through targeted use of the laser, the hair follicle is damaged, and over time, it loses the ability to grow new hair. Each treatment takes anywhere from a *few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the surface area being treated and the density and coarseness of the hair that is growing there. During sessions, a laser is guided over the targeted area. Before, during and after the treatment, skin is cooled to minimize discomfort and to prevent damage to the skin cells. Laser hair removal is *long lasting, which means you will no longer have to waste time and money on shaving or other short-term hair removal methods. At most, it might need a touch-up appointment about now only once a year.

    Hair growth happens in *several phases, lasting for a total of *several weeks. Laser hair removal targets hair follicles that are in the phase of active growth. Within a few weeks after the first session, you should start to see some hair loss in the area being treated. After a few weeks, as other follicles enter the growth phase, you will notice the growth of new hairs. These are the ones that will be targeted during the second and subsequent sessions. The amount of hair growth after each session will progressively lessen. *The prominent and quick results will be seen when patients maintain a regular appointment schedule. By intervals of *four to six weeks for facial hair removal and six to eight weeks for hair removal on other parts of the body, we can get to all of the hairs that appear in different stages of growth.

    -Hair color vs Skin tone.
    Traditionally, laser hair removal has worked well when there is a contrast between skin tone and hair colour, and the hair is darker. It works by targeting melanin, which is present in both hair and skin. Individuals with darker complexions were therefore at risk of cell damage in the skin surrounding the hair follicle. However, new laser technology makes it possible to safely perform laser hair removal on dark skin patients by using less intense wavelengths that do not damage the skin. The entire process is done more gradually than it is for patients of lighter complexions, with appointments spaced over a longer period of time.

    -Hair colour.
    Brown and black hair gets its colour from a pigment called eumelanin, which responds well to laser. By contrast, red and blonde hair, which contains pheomelanin, is not responsive, and is therefore not suitable for laser hair removal treatment. Grey hair lacks pigment and is therefore not suitable either. We encourage patients with red, blonde or grey hair to come and see us, so that we can discuss alternative hair removal methods.

    -The body part being targeted.
    Laser hair removal works on almost every part of the body. Men tend to use it mostly for the chest, back and shoulders. Women choose it for their arms, legs, underarms, bikini area and face. Laser hair removal is not recommended for the inside of the nose, ears, or for get rid of the eyebrow shaping.

    -Since tattoos are created from the insertion of pigment into the skin, laser hair removal can damage the skin cells and alter the appearance of the tattoo. Some patients who have attempted laser hair removal on a tattooed area have reported blistering, pain and infection. Therefore, we do not recommend laser hair removal treatments on tattooed skin.

    -Skin sensitivity.
    Having sensitive skin does not automatically disqualify you from laser hair removal treatments. However, we recommend a patch test that will enable us to determine how skin will respond. In some cases, we may use a more gradual treatment process over a longer period of time.

    Laser hair removal carries a small risk of damage to skin cells, particularly in individuals whose skin tone is like their hair color. However, this risk is mitigated in a number of ways:
    1. We never commence treatment without doing a thorough assessment that includes an analysis of skin and hair type, the results to accomplish, and any medical conditions or treatments that might be relevant.
    2. For some patients, we use a longer wavelength that possesses less risk to the skin.
    3. In some circumstances, we will space treatments out over a longer period of time.
    4. We cool the skin before, during and after each session. Not only does this reduce discomfort, it protects the skin from damage.

    Laser hair removal is generally not painful, but some parts of the body are more sensitive than others. The bikini area, for example, may be prone to more discomfort than the arms or legs. Topical numbing creams can be applied to these areas after treatment. Shaving the area prior to the session may also help. Although hair needs to be present in the follicles in order for the treatment to work, having the hair as short as possible may make the procedure more comfortable. Since laser hair removal is a non-surgical procedure that involves minimal pain, it is done without the use of anaesthesia or pain medication. Therefore, the risk of medical complications is minimum. At most, one may experience mild discomfort such as *itching or burning. For patients with highly sensitive skin, we can apply a topical anaesthetic. As with any procedure, it is important to follow the post-treatment care instructions that are provided.

    General after care instructions for laser hair removal include the following:
    -Reduce exposure to the sun. If it is unavoidable, protect the skin with loose clothing and/or sunscreen.
    -Avoid getting new tattoos on the treatment area until *several weeks after the final treatment.
    -Avoid the use of lotion and skin care products that may cause the skin to be more sensitive. Some fabrics and laundry detergents can also increase skin sensitivity.

    At Canada MedLaser clinics, we use the latest in laser hair removal technology. The Candela GentleMax Pro machine is our number one choice for many reasons, including the following:
    -The incorporation of two technologies means that almost any skin type can be treated
    -The machine is faster than others on the market, with lasers that pulse twice per second. This means that for many individuals, we can accomplish the desired results in shorter sessions.
    -Although the number of sessions varies depending on the patient’s skin type and pigmentation, in most cases individuals only need six to ten sessions.
    -Treatments are virtually pain-free – most patients need no numbing at all prior to their sessions. The machine sprays a numbing and cooling solution onto the targeted area right before the laser begins to pulse.

    In the unlikely event that a patient might not be a suitable candidate for the Candela Gentle MaxPro Laser, we will work to determine which hair removal treatment and technology would work best for optimal results.

    GentleMax distributes a non-invasive light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at once. A specialized cooling pulse decreases any discomfort associated with laser hair removal treatments.
    GentleMax delivers a pulse of light to the target area. The laser hair removal treatment may last a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on how many and which areas need treatment. GentleMax lasers can remove hair from every part of the body including back, underarms, arms, legs, cheeks, and lips.

    You may feel a pinch or mild sting, or the sensation of a rubber band snapping on your skin. No anesthesia is necessary, but we sometimes use topical anesthetic creams at the patient’s request. The GentleMax patented cooling system which sprays a cryogen spray on the top layer of skin makes the procedure quite tolerable.

    Because different amounts of your hair grow at different cycles, multiple treatments are required to treat them for optimal effect. Many of our patients opt for our unlimited treatment plan which is more economical in the long run.

    Minimal swelling and redness may result but only temporarily. These effects indicate the hair follicles have responded favorably to the laser hair removal treatment. Most patients return to work or normal activities right after treatment.

    You should thoughtfully consider the clinic you choose for any aesthetic treatment. Too many poorly trained clinicians offer ineffective and sometimes dangerous treatments. At Canada MedLaser Clinics, we perform all laser hair removal treatments under medical supervision by the most qualified and highly trained astheticians in Canada.

    We encourage all patients to come in for a consultation, prior to beginning the treatment, in order for us to assess your needs and determine whether or not laser hair removal is right for you.

    Stock up on razor blades. The success of laser hair removal is dependent upon the presence of pigment in the hair. When we use a hair removal method that involves epilating, such as waxing or plucking, our hair is automatically thinned and lightened, causing the laser treatment to be less effective. We encourage patients to shave for *several weeks prior to their first treatment, as well as in between sessions.

    We don’t recommend you wax or pluck hair before treatment, but you can shave the day before. Once your treatment sessions start, we recommend you stop both plucking and waxing completely.

    Avoid products that make the skin sensitive. Laser hair removal may be accompanied by some discomfort and skin sensitivity. You can maximize the results and minimize discomfort by avoiding products that contain ingredients like retinol and hydroquinone.

    After treatment, you can return to normal activities. You should apply a sunscreen on areas treated by laser hair removal, and we may advise a formulated skin care product.

    Unfortunately, not everybody is a candidate for laser hair removal. If a patient has tattoos in the area of treatment, or if the hair colour is incompatible with the use of laser treatment, we will help with an alternative method of hair removal. An effective alternative method is electrolysis, which has been on the market for over 20 years. It is a painstaking, time-consuming process that involves the administration of an electric shock to each hair follicle. Although it is undeniably less convenient than laser hair removal, electrolysis works on any hair colour, and it can be done over tattooed skin, or on areas of the body that are not recommended for laser hair removal.

    The cost of laser hair removal depends on several factors, most importantly the size of the area being treated. Although results will usually begin to be noticeable after the *first session, most patients require six to ten sessions to obtain permanent results. For some patients, more treatments may be required. This is sometimes the case in menopausal and peri-menopausal women, and individuals who are undergoing hormone therapy or who suffer from hormonal imbalances. We offer “Results Guaranteed” package options that allow for as many sessions as needed over a twenty four month-period.

    No, facial laser hair removal has no downtime. Right after your facial hair removal treatment, your face may be red and swollen. But despite this, you can proceed with your daily routine.
