Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?

Laser hair removal works best on people with darker hair because the laser targets pigment; those with blond, red or grey hair may see less effect. It is not recommended during pregnancy, and people taking certain medications (for example, acne treatments) should discuss this with the technician. Before your first session we assess your skin and hair type and discuss any health conditions or medications that could affect treatment.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

During a laser hair treatment, a trained practitioner cleanses the area and may apply a numbing gel for comfort. Both you and the technician wear protective eyewear because powerful light is used to target the hair follicles. Many people compare the sensation to a warm pinprick or a rubber band snap, and small areas like the upper lip can be treated in minutes while larger areas (legs, back) take longer. The heat damages the follicles so that future hair growth is slowed or stopped. After each session you can return to normal activities right away, although the treated skin may look mildly sunburned.

Benefits of Laser Hair Reduction

  • Long‑term savings – While each session has a cost, laser hair reduction may save money over time compared with constant waxing, shaving or depilatory creams. Most people need a series of sessions for optimal results, but afterwards they remain hair‑free for months or years.
  • Convenience and confidence – No more rushing to shave before events or dealing with razor burn and ingrown hairs. Laser‑treated areas feel smoother and can boost self‑confidence.
  • Fewer ingrown hairs – Because the laser targets the follicle directly, many people find they get fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation than with waxing or shaving.
  • Suitable for many skin tones – Advances in technology mean that both fair‑skinned and darker‑skinned people can benefit. A consultation ensures that the appropriate laser and settings are used for your skin and hair colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated light to damage hair follicles and slow or stop future hair growth. It is sometimes called laser hair reduction or permanent hair removal.
The laser emits a beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This heat damages the follicle, preventing or slowing future hair growth. Different wavelengths are used depending on skin tone and hair colour.
Most clients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Many people see noticeable reduction after a few sessions, but optimal results often require 6–8 treatments.
Laser hair removal provides long‑lasting hair reduction. While some hair may eventually grow back, it typically appears finer and lighter. Occasional maintenance sessions can help maintain smooth results.
The sensation is often compared to a quick snap or a warm pinprick. A numbing gel can be applied to sensitive areas to make treatment more comfortable.
Yes. Modern lasers allow safe and effective hair reduction for a wide range of skin tones. During your consultation, your provider will choose the appropriate laser and settings for your skin type.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self‑tanners for at least two weeks before your session. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment and avoid plucking or waxing. Inform your provider of any medications or skin treatments you are using.
Keep the treated area clean and moisturized. Use cool compresses if you experience redness or swelling. Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, saunas and exercise that may cause excessive sweating for a couple of days.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling and mild discomfort. Less common effects may include changes in skin pigmentation or crusting. Serious complications are rare when treatments are performed by experienced professionals.
The cost varies depending on the size of the treatment area, ranging typically from $50 to $500 per session. Detailed pricing will be provided during your consultation at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre.
Session length depends on the size of the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip can take a few minutes, while larger areas such as full legs or back may take up to an hour or more.
