Are Laser Hair Removal treatments painful?

Laser Hair Removal is known for being virtually painless, with modern laser technologies designed to minimize discomfort. You may feel a quick jolt, similar to a rubber band snapping, but we apply a topical anesthetic cream to make you more comfortable. Pain tolerance varies among individuals, and some may feel slightly more discomfort in sensitive areas. It’s important to note that any discomfort is usually brief and localized.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments required for Laser Hair Removal varies depending on several factors, including your hair type, skin color, and the area being treated. Generally, hair grows in different cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to effectively eradicate the hair. Most people require a series of maintenance treatments, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Our laser technician will assess your specific needs during your consultation and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on the area you want to treat and your desired outcome.

How long until I see results?

Laser Hair Removal results typically become visible after the first session, although they may not be immediately apparent. In the weeks following your initial treatment, you may notice that hair in the treated area becomes finer and lighter. As you continue with subsequent sessions, you’ll see a gradual reduction in hair growth and thickness. It’s important to understand that Laser Hair Removal works on hair in active growth cycles. Since not all hair is in the same phase at the same time, multiple sessions are necessary to target all the hairs effectively. It may take several months or more, depending on the area being treated, to achieve the full benefits of Laser Hair Removal.

Can I combine Laser Hair Removal with other procedures?

Of course! Laser Hair Removal is often performed as a standalone procedure, but it can be combined with other treatments, depending on your skin type and specific goals. Some patients in Many of our Toronto patients will combine their treatment with Laser skin Tightening for smoother skin, or even BOTOX and Dermal Fillers for an overall improved appearance. No matter what your aesthetic goals are, our team can help you achieve the best results with the right combination of treatments.

What are the risks associated with Laser Hair Removal?

The risks associated with Laser Hair Removal are generally mild and extremely temporary, they may include: Skin irritationChanges in skin pigmentation Skin sensitivity Blisters or burns Scarring Hair regrowth

Will Laser Hair Removal work on all skin types?

Yes! While this treatment is best for patients with fairer skin and darker hair follicles, laser hair removal technology has advanced far enough that we can work with patients of all kinds of hair color, thickness, and treatment areas.

What body hair can I have removed with Laser Hair Removal?

We can help you permanently get rid of unwanted hair just about anywhere on your body. Whether it’s your underarms, facial hair, upper lip, chin, back, chest, or bikini line. As long as it’s not your scalp or around your eyes, we can help you get the smooth skin you’ve always wanted!

Can I get Laser Hair Removal if I have a tattoo?

Yes! If you have a tattoo, you can still get laser hair removal but not directly over the tattoo—the same goes for removed tattoos. This is because, during treatment, the laser targets the pigment in your hair follicle to safely and effectively eliminate your hair at the root. However, the laser can’t tell the difference between ink pigment and hair follicle pigment. So if treated over, the ink pigment could scatter and result in a burn as it tries to escape the skin. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, then laser hair removal is a great option to get beforehand. You can get a clean slate, so to speak, over the area you want tattooed. It’s very important to disclose tattoos and removed tattoos before beginning treatments.

Why Laser Hair Removal Over Waxing?

Laser hair removal treatments yield permanent results while waxing, shaving, or depilatories will only give you temporary results. Waxing is significantly more painful than laser hair removal, and while laser feels like a rubber-band snap we’ve never had a client leave because of how a treatment feels. Once you’ve completed your laser hair removal treatments, you’re done forever. Unlike other hair removal solutions, you won’t have to come back monthly, for years on end. You’ll save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in time.

Can I get Laser Hair Removal and maintain my personal or religious modesty standards?

We do everything that we can to make you as comfortable as possible while helping you say goodbye to unwanted hair forever. We know that everyone has their modesty standards, whether they are religiously based or simply a personal choice, and we don’t want you to feel like you have to choose between being modest and being hairy.

What is laser hair removal?

Laser Hair Removal at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic in Toronto is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that uses advanced laser technology to target and remove unwanted hair from virtually any area of the body.

This non-invasive and precise technique works by emitting highly concentrated beams of light energy into the hair follicle. The laser energy will gradually heat the hair follicles, destroying the hair and preventing future growth. Once the hair follicle is damaged, it cannot grow new hair, and as a result, you can enjoy long-lasting hair reduction and smooth skin without the need for constant shaving, waxing, or plucking. It’s the ultimate solution for those looking to break free from the cycle of temporary hair removal methods and embrace a lifestyle of convenience and confidence.

Older generation lasers offered in most laser hair removal clinics do create pain and irritation/ redness after application that can create bumpy skin. At Aviva, we have the most advanced technology and practice the latest techniques to ensure you have a very comfortable experience with optimal results for permanent hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Following your Laser Hair Removal treatment, there is typically little to no downtime. You can return to your regular activities right away. However, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care guidelines provided by our experts to ensure the best results.

You may experience mild redness and slight discomfort, which should subside within a few hours to a day. It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and use sunblock when outdoors. As hair in the treated area sheds, you may notice a gradual reduction in hair growth phase over the following weeks and months, leading to smoother, hair-free skin. You will need to avoid jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for the first 24 hours.

Minor scabbing of the treated area can also occur following the treatment. Do not rub or pick the scabs, but gently wash the area with your fingertips and mild soap, and apply an antibacterial ointment to the treated area. If you notice any redness occurring, you can apply 1% hydrocortisone or Aloe Vera.

Hair remaining in the follicle will extrude typically within one to two weeks after your treatment, so a series of sessions will be planned as part of your personalized treatment program to maximize the results for the most effective treatments. Your dedicated commitment to this series of treatments, combined with the expertise of our professional team at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic, will help you achieve the long-lasting results you desire.
