How Laser Hair Removal Works
The Laser light targets the pigment in hair follicles and hair shafts using concentrated light energy. This destroys the follicles’ ability to produce new hair, resulting in long-term hair reduction. The GentleMax Pro laser system used at Clinique-K offers dual laser technology, combining the Alexandrite laser for lighter skin tones and the Nd: YAG laser for darker skin tones. This allows for safe, effective treatments tailored to your unique skin and hair type.
Our Technology: GentleMax Pro for Permanent Hair Removal for Most Skin Types
At Clinique-K, we use the GentleMax Pro, a state-of-the-art laser system designed to target unwanted hair on the face and body. It combines two laser technologies:
- Alexandrite Laser: : Ideal for lighter skin tones, this laser targets the pigment in dark hair, effectively reducing hair growth.
- Nd: YAG Laser Suitable for darker skin tones, this laser provides safe and precise hair reduction by targeting the hair follicle without affecting the surrounding skin.
With this advanced system, we can offer safe, efficient treatments for a wide range of skin tones and hair types, achieving up to an 80% reduction in hair growth after a full series of treatments.
Does Laser Hair Removal Provide Effective Treatment and Permanent Results?
Yes, clinical studies have shown that patients experience up to an 80% reduction in hair growth after completing 4-6 sessions of laser hair removal. While the results are long-lasting, occasional touch-up sessions may be required to maintain smooth, hair-free skin. The number of sessions needed depends on factors like hair thickness, the area being treated, and the hair growth cycle.
How Do Professional Treatments Compare with Home Laser Hair Removal?
Although home laser hair removal devices have been approved by Health Canada, you may need a much larger number of treatments than if you had it done at our clinic. Most dermatologists will tell you that having laser hair removal treatment by a powerful laser device will produce results more faster.
Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?
Laser hair removal is best suited for individuals with dark, coarse hair and light skin tones, as the laser targets the dark pigment in the hair. With advancements in technology, however, those with darker skin tones can also benefit from laser hair removal using the Nd YAG Laser
If you’re looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair on your face or body, laser hair removal at Clinique-K may be the perfect option. During your consultation, our specialists will assess your skin and hair type to create a personalized treatment plan.
Laser Hair Removal Procedure: Recovery and Risks
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. The treated hair will gradually fall out over 1-2 weeks, leaving you with smoother skin.
To ensure optimal results and prevent complications, we perform a patch test during your first appointment to check for any adverse reactions to the laser energy. To further minimize risks and achieve good results, follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure on treated areas for at least a week post-treatment.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+.
- Do not wax or pluck the treated area between sessions, as this interferes with the laser’s effectiveness.
- For post-treatment discomfort, apply a cold compress or aloe vera to soothe the skin.
By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results from your laser hair removal sessions.
