Laser Hair Removal Treatment Toronto
What is Laser Hair Removal Treatment Like?
The high-energy Alexandrite Laser emits a beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed.
The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. You may experience a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band.
No local anesthesia or pain medication is required. However, Emla topical cream may be applied.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Hair grows in 3 cycles. The number of treatments required depends upon your skin color and coarseness of the hair. Everyone will require at least 5-10 treatments as the process is only effective on hair during the early growing cycle.
Are There Any Side Effects to Laser Hair Removal?
Short-term side effects may include some redness and puffiness around the hair follicles treated. Temporary discoloration could occur if skin is tanned.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Treatment Compare With Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering a galvanic current, which weakens the hair follicle. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. ESC/sharplan system delivers laser light energy non-invasively to hundreds of hair follicle simultaneously. So in a few minutes, the technician can effectively treat an area that would take an hour with electrolysis.
What Precautions Should Be Taken Before Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
- Avoid the sun tanning beds 4-6 weeks prior treatment and throughout course of laser treatment.
- If you have dark pigmented skin, a bleaching cream may be started 4-6 weeks prior to treatment to optimize results.
- If you have had a history of perioral herpes, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed.
- All temporary methods of hair removal should be stopped 4-6 weeks prior to treatment to ensure the hair is in the follicle prior to treatment. (only shave)
