Laser Hair Removal Calgary

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle with a laser beam. The heat from the laser damages the follicle and prevents it from growing new hair. The procedure is safe and effective and can be used to treat various areas of the body, including the face, legs, arms, bikini line, and more. It is important for the laser machine to see the root of your hair so that the treatment can be more effective. Shaving the treatment area prior to your appointment will help the laser machine to see the root of your hair more easily.

Most patients report that the laser hair removal treatment feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some patients may experience more discomfort than others, but this is typically mild and temporary. We offer a numbing cream to help alleviate any discomfort during the treatment.

Immediately following your laser hair removal treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and/or bruising. This is normal and should resolve within a few days. It is important to avoid sun exposure during this time as the skin will be more sensitive.

The best way to ensure that you are a good candidate for laser hair removal is to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional. At Mygirlsouz in Calgary, we offer free consultations to help you determine if laser hair removal is right for you.

There are a few things that you can do to prepare for your laser hair removal treatment, including the following:

-Shave the treatment area prior to your appointment. This will help the laser machine to see the root of your hair more easily.

-Avoid sun exposure prior to your treatment. This can make the treatment less effective.

-Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.

Most patients see the results of their laser hair removal treatment within a few weeks. However, it typically takes several treatments to achieve optimal results.

The results of your laser hair removal treatment can last for many years, although you may need occasional touch-ups to maintain the results.

Yes, laser hair removal can be permanent when performed by a qualified technician. The light from the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft, which damages the hair follicle and prevents future growth. However, it is important to note that not everyone will experience permanent results after laser hair removal. Some people may require multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. Additionally, some people may experience hair regrowth even after receiving laser hair removal treatments. If you are interested in laser hair removal, be sure to consult with a qualified technician to see if it is right for you.

During the procedure, a concentrated beam of light is directed at the hair follicles, which generates heat and destroys the hair follicles. Some people describe the sensation as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin or a tingling sensation. However, the discomfort is usually brief and temporary, lasting only during the treatment.

Most laser hair removal providers will use methods to minimize discomfort, such as using a cooling gel or chilled air to numb the area before and after the laser treatment. They may also adjust the intensity of the laser based on the individual’s comfort level.

The effectiveness of one session of laser hair removal can vary depending on factors such as the type of laser used, the color and thickness of the hair, and the individual’s skin type. While some people may see a noticeable reduction in hair growth after just one session, most will require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

It is also important to note that laser hair removal is a process that requires consistent treatment over time, with sessions typically spaced several weeks apart. This means that while one session may provide some initial hair reduction, it is unlikely to be a permanent solution after just one session.
