Laser Hair Removal

Soft, smooth skin is possible

At Dermal Laser, the safety and overall satisfaction of our clients comes first. We have the best safety record in the marketplace and our Certified Laser Technicians use state-of-the-art medical grade equipment to help you achieve the safest and best results possible. Oftentimes, removing unwanted hair improves self-confidence. Self-consciousness is replaced with a convenient shave-free lifestyle that truly makes a difference – inside and out.

Our technology

We perform laser hair removal using a medical-grade laser called the LightSheer Diode, the first FDA-approved laser for safe, effective, and permanent hair removal. This laser has long-term clinical data that documents its ability to permanently reduce hair growth for male and female clients with a range of skin colours and hair types. It can also safely remove hair from all parts of the body (except eyebrows).

The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated near-infrared light that is absorbed by the skin’s pigment via the hair follicles. Our Certified Laser Technician pulses the laser for a fraction of second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment in the hair and disable future hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin.

One of the benefits of the LightSheer Diode is the built-in Chill Tip, which provides contact cooling to the skin right before the laser pulses through the skin. It works to protect the upper layer of skin and enables the laser’s energy to travel deeper into the hair follicle. Essentially, its job is to make sure your treatment is safe, comfortable, and effective. In addition, for highly sensitive areas our clients will benefit from our Synercool technology, which cools the treated area alongside the LightSheer Diode.

For most clients, achieving desired results requires 4 to 6 treatments and, perhaps, some touch-ups over time. Any hair left on the treated area thereafter is usually much lighter and finer than the hair that was originally there.

What to expect

At Dermal Laser, we always put your safety first. So at least 24 to 48 hours before your first treatment, one of our Certified Laser Technicians will perform a patch test on your skin. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all of our clients. Since laser hair removal targets the hair follicle, you will have to shave the area the night before your treatment. You will also have the option of applying numbing cream (EMLA) to the area prior to your treatment to minimize any potential discomfort. EMLA may be purchased at any of our locations or at your local pharmacy. The success of your laser hair removal treatment is dependent on a number of factors:

  • your hair follicles must be actively growing – be sure to book your next appointment 6-10 weeks after your first treatment (depending on the area, your Technician will provide you with a recommended time) to ensure that all the hair follicles are captured in their growth stage
  • hair colour – the darker the hair (brown or black), the better the results
