Am I a Good Candidate? How Does the Procedure Work?
The perfect candidates for this procedure are individuals who have a greater contrast between the colour of their skin and the colour of their hair. Unfortunately, it often doesn’t work as well on gray or red hair.
This procedure works by operating a handheld laser with a pulsed light over the selected area, and targets dark, thick hair follicles by ceasing their growth. Laser hair removal can feel similar to snapping a rubber band on your skin, so it may help to numb the area or take Advil beforehand to avoid discomfort. Once the procedure is complete, it will leave your skin feeling gentle, smooth and best of all, hair free!
How Many Sessions?
For permanent hair loss, we suggest approximately 10-12 treatments every 5 weeks, but this will vary depending on the patient. Your hair growth will slow down, so make sure to shave your upper lip between visits in order to increase the power of the laser. Each session will be fairly quick, so there’s no need to take too much time out of your schedule.
