What is Laser Hair Removal and how does it work?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to remove unwanted hair from all parts of the body.
Alma Soprano Platinum, the laser machine used at our clinic, works by emitting pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin and destroy hair follicles while the device’s handpiece cools the surrounding skin. Because the laser needs to fill the hair follicle to work effectively, it is important not to wax, tweeze, have electrolysis procedures or pluck hair for 2-4 weeks prior to the procedure. You will be required to wear protective eyeglasses during the procedure to protect your eyes from the laser light.
You may feel a slight burning, stinging or pinching sensation during the procedure. It generally takes 10 to 21 days after the procedure for the treated hair to fall out. Treatment of dark coarse hair generally achieves the best results while removal of light fine hair generally requires additional treatments which may or may not be successful. Clinical results of LHR may also vary depending on individual skin type, hormonal levels and hereditary influences.
Therefore, some patients may experience partial results and some may notice no improvement at all. Future hormonal changes may cause additional hair growth. Laser Hair Removal procedure generally involves a series of treatments. Ideal (light skin/dark hair) candidates can usually achieve 65%-90% reduction with a series of 8 treatments. Thicker-skinned areas such as men’s backs, faces or necks usually require more than 8 sessions and usually achieve only partial reduction or hair thinning.
Lasting Result
The procedure offers a quick and easy solution that offers permanent hair reduction
Precision
Treatment can target specific areas without affecting surrounding skin
Speed
Each pulse targets many hair follicles simultaneously, making this a fast and effective treatment
Save time and money
Laser treatment eliminates the need for frequent waxing and shaving which can irritate the skin and also take up a lot of time and money without any permanent reduction in hair density and texture
Consultation
Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with a medical aesthetician to discuss your concerns, medical history, and treatment goals.
Preparation
It is important not to wax, tweeze, have electrolysis procedures or pluck hair for 2-4 weeks prior to the procedure. Ensure that the treatment area is clean and free of any products prior to attending your session
Treatment
During your laser hair removal session, a handheld device is used to deliver pulses of laser energy to the targeted area. The sensation is often described as a mild stinging or snapping sensation.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you may experience erythema (redness) and perifollicular edema (swelling around the hair follicle) in the areas treated which will subside rapidly. You’ll be provided with specific post-treatment instructions, including skincare products to use and avoid, as well as any restrictions on activities such as sun exposure or exercise.
Pre-treatment Care
- The area to be treated must be clean-shaven
- Avoid UV exposure 14 days prior to your treatment.
- Clients who are sunburned or tanned must wait 2 weeks before being treated.

- The client should not perform any physical activity that increases body temperature or blood pressure within 2 hours before and after treatments.
- Antibiotics may increase photosensitivity. We recommend that you check with your personal physician prior to receiving laser treatments

- It’s important that you do not pluck or wax any hair on the area that was treated
- Exfoliate the area once any redness subsides, approx 1-2 weeks post treatment
