How It Works
Laser energy is delivered into the hair follicle, where it is absorbed by pigment within the hair.
This process:
-
Disrupts active hair growth
-
Reduces future regrowth
-
Minimizes ingrown hairs
-
Improves skin smoothness
Hair grows in cycles, which is why treatments are performed as a series to effectively target follicles during their active growth phase.
What to Expect
-
Most areas require a series of treatments
-
Sessions are spaced several weeks apart
-
Hair becomes finer and lighter over time
-
Growth slows progressively after each visit
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair density, though occasional maintenance may be recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal
Q1: Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Most clients experience permanent reduction in treated follicles, but occasional maintenance sessions may be needed. Results depend on hair type, hormone levels, and treatment consistency.
Q2: How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and multiple sessions ensure all follicles are treated effectively.
Q3: Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Modern medical-grade systems are designed to safely treat a wide range of skin tones when performed by trained professionals. During your consultation at our Burnaby clinic, we assess skin type to determine the safest settings.
Q4: Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or mild warmth. It is significantly more comfortable than waxing for most people.
Q5: What areas can be treated?
Common areas include face, underarms, legs, bikini, back, chest, and jawline. We treat both men and women at our Metrotown-area clinic.
