Professional Laser Hair Removal Edmonton

Say goodbye to constant shaving, waxing, or plucking. Laser hair removal Edmonton uses concentrated light to damage hair follicles, slowing or stopping future growth. The procedure is non-invasive, meaning it involves no cuts or incisions, and the results last much longer than those of traditional hair removal methods. Although not completely permanent, most clients enjoy months or even years of smooth skin, and any regrowth is typically finer and lighter.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

The laser emits focused light that is selectively absorbed by pigment in the hair shaft and follicle. This energy converts to heat, disabling the follicle’s ability to regrow while sparing surrounding skin (selective photothermolysis).

What to Expect

  1. Consultation & test spot: We review your goals, skin/hair type, medications, and perform a patch test if needed.
  2. Treatment day: The area is cleansed and shaved; the laser handpiece delivers quick pulses with cooling.
  3. Aftercare: Mild redness or swelling may occur for a few hours. Normal activities can resume the same day.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Summary

Cost & Pricing

Laser hair removal prices vary depending on the treatment area, typically ranging from $50 to $400 per session at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre.

Treatment & Procedure

Laser hair removal uses targeted laser beams to destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth through multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for best results.

Mechanism of Action

Laser energy selectively targets melanin in hair follicles, converting light into heat, destroying the follicles and preventing new hair from regrowing.

Benefits & Results

This procedure offers long-term hair reduction, smoother skin, less irritation compared to shaving or waxing, and significant permanent hair growth reduction.

Side Effects & Downtime

Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or irritation. There is minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to daily activities immediately post-treatment.

Discomfort & Pain Level

Patients often describe laser hair removal discomfort as mild, similar to snapping a rubber band on the skin. Topical anesthetic may enhance comfort during treatment.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

  • Long‑term reduction: Significantly reduces hair growth for smoother skin year‑round.
  • Precision: Targets the follicle without harming surrounding skin.
  • Speed: Small areas take minutes; large areas can be completed quickly with modern scanners.
  • Minimal downtime: Return to normal activities right after treatment.
  • Suitable for many skin tones: With diode and Nd:YAG options, we can treat Fitzpatrick I–VI safely.
  • Fewer ingrown hairs: Helps reduce shaving bumps and folliculitis.
  • Saves money over time: Less reliance on razors, waxes, and depilatories.
  • Consistent results: Predictable improvement over a series of sessions.
  • Comfort built‑in: Advanced contact cooling and optimized pulse durations.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Laser works best on actively growing hairs (anagen phase). We can effectively treat most skin tones and coarse, dark hair. Very light, grey, white, or red hair has limited pigment and may respond less.

Treatment Plan & Sessions

Because hair grows in cycles, most clients need a series of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on the area and hair density. Maintenance sessions may be recommended for hormonal areas.

Preparation & Aftercare

Before Your Visit

  • Shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment.
  • Avoid waxing, sugaring, threading, depilatory creams, and tweezing for 3–4 weeks (we need the root present).
  • Limit sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for 2–4 weeks; use SPF 30+ daily.
  • Pause retinoids and strong acids on the area for ~5–7 days (unless directed otherwise).

After Your Visit

  • Expect mild redness/follicular bumps for hours to a day—cool compresses and fragrance-free moisturizer help.
  • Avoid hot tubs, saunas, intense workouts, and exfoliation for 24–48 hours.
  • Continue SPF 30+; avoid picking or plucking. Shedding of treated hairs occurs over 1–3 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It’s best described as long-term hair reduction. Many follicles are disabled permanently; some may produce finer, slower-growing hairs over time, especially in hormonally sensitive areas.
Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Coarse, dark hair responds fastest; fine or hormonally driven hair can require additional maintenance.
Yes. Nd:YAG (1064 nm) targets the follicle while sparing epidermal pigment, making it suitable for darker skin when performed by trained providers.
Response is limited because these hairs have less melanin. We’ll discuss alternatives (e.g., electrolysis) if laser isn’t ideal for your hair color.
Most describe a quick snap with warmth. Integrated cooling and optional topical numbing help keep treatments very tolerable.
No waxing, tweezing, or depilatories for 3–4 weeks; avoid sun/tanning for 2–4 weeks; pause retinoids/acids on the area for ~1 week. Shave 12–24 hours prior.
