What Laser Hair Removal Does
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle to reduce and slow down hair growth over time. Treatments are non-invasive and safe for many areas of the body, helping to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs while providing smoother skin.
Common Treatment Areas Include:
- Face: Upper lip, chin, jawline, and stray hairs around eyebrows
- Body: Legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, chest, and back
How Laser Hair Removal Works
At Oakville Skin, we use the GentleMax laser device for laser hair removal therapy. This modern laser technology works safely on all skin types, delivers faster treatments covering larger areas, offers superior comfort with Patented Dynamic Cooling Device, and results in stronger hair reduction.
During treatment, a precise beam of light is directed at the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by melanin in the hair, converting to heat and damaging the follicle to prevent future hair growth. Surrounding skin remains intact, making the procedure safe and minimally uncomfortable.
What to Expect
PROCEDURE TIME
Laser hair removal sessions typically last between 10 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
DOES IT HURT?
During the procedure, you may feel a mild snapping sensation, often described as similar to a rubber band, though numbing cream can be applied to more sensitive areas for added comfort.
HOW SOON ARE RESULTS
Most patients require four to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart to target hairs during their optimal growth phase. After treatment, it’s normal to experience some temporary redness or swelling, and sun protection is recommended for the treated areas. Hair will naturally shed over the course of one to two weeks, revealing smoother, hair-reduced skin.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
Pricing varies depending on the treatment area and number of sessions.
For example, treatment for the bikini line area and armpits start at $220, while upper or lower legs may start from $440. For a personalized quote based on your goals and budget, kindly book a consultation with our team at Oakville Skin.
