Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted body hair can be a continuous cause of anxiety. Millions of people hide it, pluck it, shave it, wax it, use pungent creams and lotions, or undergo painful electrolysis; all in an attempt to get rid of unsightly body hair.
Temporary hair removal solutions are not enough for many people. More often, Toronto residents are looking to laser hair removal as a permanent solution to the problem of unwanted hair.
You too can enjoy the permanent benefits of laser hair removal at our Toronto office.
Laser hair removal is a safe, FDA approved process that uses a diode laser alone, or combined with radio frequency, to treat the roots of each hair with an intense beam of laser light. Two types of lasers provide us with the flexibility to treat most skin and hair types.
Unlike electrolysis, Laser hair removal is a painless and safe process. In our Toronto centre, we use a diode laser, or combine a diode laser with radio frequency, to treat the roots of each hair with an intense beam of laser light. Our two types of lasers provide our Toronto facility with the means to treat a wide variety of hair and skin types with laser hair removal.
How does it work? The follicles that produce the hairs die, putting an end to unwanted hair.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Laser Hair Removal
Is laser hair removal permanent?
In 90% of individuals, hair reduction through laser removal is permanent. Most patients who are good candidates for laser hair removal can achieve 70-95% hair reduction. Choosing the right laser treatment and treatment schedule for your hair and skin type will maximize your success.
How many treatments will I need?
With each treatment, most clients will lose 20% of the hair which is present and actively growing. An average of 6-8 treatments are required by most women, and 8-10 treatments are required by most men. Depending on your hair and skin type, and the density of hair in the area being treated, you may require fewer or more treatments.
How long do I have to wait in between treatments?
Although waiting times in between treatments may vary, the general guideline for most patients is 6 weeks for the face or neck areas, and 10 weeks for all other areas of the body. Our technicians will help you to achieve your best results by showing you how to prepare for your laser hair removal treatments, and customizing a schedule for you to follow.
Is laser hair removal painful?
No treatment to remove unwanted hair is completely painless. However, most of our patients do not find the treatments more painful than waxing. The sensation is most often described as a mild pinch or an elastic band being snapped on the skin. Of course, some areas to be treated are more sensitive than others. Our technicians can review various methods for reducing the discomfort in these cases.
Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal treatments work most successfully on hair that is light brown to black. Patients with blonde and red hairs can be treated, however very pale blonde, white and grey hairs often do not respond well. Although almost all skin types can be treated with laser hair removal, very dark (heavily pigmented) skin may require more treatments than average.
What areas cannot be treated with laser hair removal?
Almost all areas of the face and body can be treated. Areas that cannot be treated include the eye area and eyebrows, mucous membranes, top of the head, and over top of any moles or tattoos. Also, any areas of the face or body that are freshly tanned should not be treated with laser hair removal. It is necessary to use sunscreen (SPF 30-45) and avoid sun exposure for a minimum of 4 weeks before and after treatment.

BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments
Non-Surgical Procedure Offers Relaxed, Yonger Look and Increased Confidence
Ever have someone ask you why you look upset when it's the furthest thing from your mind?
If they don't know you, it's possible they may be getting the wrong message because of that scowl or frown they see carved into your face.
Your facial expression may be sending out a message that is completely the opposite from what you are feeling.
Over time, the muscles in your face that pull on the tissues in and under the skin can cause frown lines. These frown lines can create a discouraged or angry look whether you are upset or not.
And that can be a big problem, especially at a job interview or on a blind date.
A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, at our convenient Toronto location, can solve that problem.
A natural substance that is safe to use, BOTOX® Cosmetic is a popular treatment for frown lines, crow's feet or other wrinkles around the eyes, and forehead lines.
The result? A natural smooth look that can take that frown off your face and leave you looking years yonger.
Injected in very small doses directly into the muscle around the area being treated, BOTOX® Cosmetic prevents the muscle from contracting and forming a wrinkle.
The results usually last about four months at which point the BOTOX® treatment can be repeated at our Toronto office. You may continue your BOTOX® treatments indefinitely with the effects of the treatment lasting longer as use continues.
Anyone with the following conditions is not a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment at our Toronto centre.
- Pregnant or nursing mothers
- Anyone with a neurological disorder
Call us today at 866-415-2210 or e-mail us to set up a free BOTOX® Cosmetic consultation at our Toronto office. Don't wait - contact us now to discover how BOTOX® Cosmetic can change your look, and your life, forever.
