Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Laser Hair Removal Edmonton Work?
- How it 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 the surrounding skin—a principle known as selective photothermolysis.
- Series of treatments: Sessions are delivered in a series because hair’s cycle through growth phases; active follicles respond best.
- Typical plan: Most clients need six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, hair density, and skin type.
- Best response: Coarse, dark hair typically responds the fastest, while fine, light, grey, or hormonally driven hair may require additional sessions and periodic maintenance.
- Consistency matters: Keeping appointments on schedule improves clearance, reduces regrowth between visits, and helps you achieve smoother, longer-lasting results with less irritation.
Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?
- Good candidates: You’re a good candidate if you have unwanted hair and are committed to six to eight sessions; expect long-term reduction and possible maintenance.
- Hair and skin types: Dark brown or black hair responds best; blonde, red, grey, or fine hair may see limited results. All skin tones can be treated with proper settings, and patch testing improves safety.
- Precautions: Avoid tanning for two to four weeks before and after sessions. Shaving is fine, but skip waxing and plucking. Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy and should be postponed if you have infections, sunburn, or photosensitivity.
- Medications & conditions: Some medications, including recent isotretinoin, may require a waiting period—always disclose your medications. PCOS may require additional sessions and ongoing maintenance.
What should I do before laser hair removal in Edmonton?
- 2–4 weeks before: Skip sunbathing and self-tanner; wear SPF 30+ daily. Avoid waxing, plucking, and threading or sugaring—shave only. Disclose new medications, especially photosensitizers; isotretinoin requires six months off.
- 5–7 days before: Stop retinoids and AHAs/BHAs. Avoid peels, waxing, microneedling, and lasers. If you have a history of cold sores, ask about antivirals.
- 24 hours before: Close-shave with a clean razor; ensure no stubble. Skip oils, lotions, deodorant, and perfume.
- On treatment day: Arrive with clean, dry skin and no products. Wear loose clothing. Reschedule if you have a sunburn, new tan, infection, or wounds; notify us if you are pregnant.
Will it work on blonde, grey, or red hair?
- Dark blonde: May respond, especially with diode (810 nm) or alexandrite (755 nm) lasers and multiple sessions, but results are typically slower and patchier.
- Very light blonde, grey/white: Minimal to no response because these hairs lack melanin.
- Red hair: Contains pheomelanin, which lasers target poorly; outcomes are inconsistent.
- What helps: Do a patch test to gauge response, avoid bleaching (reduces pigment), and protect from the sun before/after. For non-pigmented hairs, electrolysis is the gold standard alternative. Some IPL/laser devices, when combined with radiofrequency, can offer a modest benefit in select cases, but expectations should remain conservative.
How do I care for my skin after laser hair removal in Edmonton?
- First 24 hours: Apply cool compresses, cleanse gently, and use a plain moisturizer. Avoid hot showers, strenuous workouts, and applying deodorant or makeup to treated areas.
- Sun care: Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 1–2 weeks. Wear SPF 30+ daily and reapply as needed.
- Avoid for 48–72 hours: Retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, scrubs, waxing, plucking, and self-tanner. Shaving is safe once the skin is calm.
- What’s normal: Mild redness and follicular swelling for 12–48 hours; slight itching may occur.
- Soothe: Use aloe vera or a bland moisturizer; consider 1% hydrocortisone if itching persists, as advised by your healthcare professional.
- Ingrown hair: After 3–5 days, gently exfoliate 2–3 times per week.
- Between sessions: Avoid plucking or waxing; shave only. Treatments are typically repeated every 4–8 weeks.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
- Hairs cycle through growth phases; lasers work best in active anagen.
- Only a fraction (≈10–30%) are in anagen during any visit.
- Spacing sessions 4–8 weeks lets new hairs enter anagen.
- Each treatment reduces a fresh cohort of follicles.
- Pigment-rich hairs absorb energy; finer hairs often need more passes.
- Hormones (face, chin, bikini) can stimulate regrowth.
- Skin–hair contrast, density, and thickness affect session count.
- Professional devices and safe settings limit each visit’s dose.
- Expect 6–8 sessions for most areas; some fewer or more.
- Results compound: slower growth, lighter, finer hairs.
- Maintenance sessions address dormant or hormonally reactivated follicles over time, between visits.
