Waxing, shaving,
depilatory creams, laser hair removal. They are all methods to remove
unwanted hair from the body and
face. But time and time again, women ask themselves what method is
most effective.
While each option has
its pros and cons, there has been
more of a shift to laser hair removal in Toronto and specifically
Scarborough and for good reason. While the other options offer a
temporary fix, women and men are now looking for more permanent
results and while laser can be costly, the costs associated with
pre-purchasing shaving cream, razors, and materials for waxing put a
dent in our pockets overtime.
What to expect:
- Laser
hair removal in Toronto varies in cost and can be anywhere
from $80 - $4000 depending on the spa or clinic, area of treatment,
length of sessions, type of hair (eg. How course and dark, speed of
growth)
- One session is
not enough! It’s not magic, so expect to see your laser technician
at least 3-6 times over the course of a year
- It isn’t as
painful as you think. Some experience a mild pinching or stinging
feeling and in some cases redness and swelling which can be soothed
with the appropriate after care
- A gradual
decrease in the quantity and thickness of hair.
So
say goodbye to stinky depilatory
creams, your disposable razor and candy wax. Visit your local laser
hair removal clinic or spa in Scarborough and enjoy smooth
skin all year round!

Laser
hair removal is one of the most commonly performed non-cosmetic
procedures. It beams highly concentrated light pulses into hair
follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorbs the light; this in turn
destroys the hair. Laser treatment is useful for removing unwanted
hair from the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and other
areas.
Hair
growth can occur at different stages and multiple laser treatments
are often needed. On average, it can take between six to eight
treatments to fully remove the hair. Once the treatments are
complete, it will save hours and dollars in waxing appointments or
razor blades. The advancement in laser technology has enabled the
procedure to be carried out safely on all skin and hair types. The
procedure is relatively permanent; it destroys up to 80 % of all the
hair growth in the treated area and the hair growth in its place is
usually finer in texture and lighter in color.
On
commencement of the procedure, the treated area will be trimmed and
shaved to a few millimetres above the skin surface. The laser
equipment will be adjusted according to the skin color, thickness,
and location of the hair being treated. Depending on the laser or
light source used, the client and the technician will need to wear
appropriate eye protection. It will also be necessary to protect the
outer layers of your skin with a cold gel or special cooling device.
This will help the laser light penetrate the skin. Following the
application of the cold gel, the technician will then send a pulse of
light to the treatment area and watch the area for several minutes to
make sure the best settings were used, and to check for adverse skin
reactions.
When
the procedure is completed, you may be given ice packs,
anti-inflammatory creams
or lotions, or cold water to ease any discomfort. The technician is
then able to schedule your next treatment four to six weeks later.
You'll receive treatments until the hair stops growing! Additional
periodic maintenance treatments may be required, every 6-12 months
