Toronto Women Looking Their Best: Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal in Toronto is a common medical procedure that uses a laser to remove unwanted hair; this method of hair removal has gained popularity quickly. When a service gains momentum quickly, many rush to provide the service - this is where buyers beware comes in! Many purchasing laser packages from ‘deal sites’ do not receive optimal results, even if the treatments were performed using top tier machines. The reason for this is often inexperience and improper settings. It is critical when searching for the right clinic to find one using superior laser technology along with skilled technicians, resulting in optimal results every time.

How does it work? Laser and IPL systems use energy in the form of light to destroy hair follicles. Correct settings are chosen according to the client’s skin colour and the coarseness of the hair being treated. The energy from the light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and is then transferred to the surrounding cells, which in turn are converted into heat. The heating denatures the cells, rendering them incapable of producing further hair growth. The heat kills the hair roots but the hair remains in the skin and will fall out 1-3 weeks after the treatment. Some hairs can even fall out at the time of treatment.

How many times will I need to go for treatments? Most patients need 6-8 treatments spaced 8-12 weeks apart. This being said, the number of sessions one will need depends on many factors including the area being treated, coarseness of hair, skin colour, and any underlying health conditions.

When deciding to undergo Laser Hair Removal Toronto, remember to take into account not only the machine being used but also the skill and knowledge of your technician.
