Laser Hair Removal Oakville Ontario

Hair colour versus complexion. Historically, laser hair removal has been effective when there is a contrast between skin tone and hair colour and when the hair is darker. It functions by targeting the melanin found in both hair and skin. Therefore, individuals with darker skin tones were susceptible to cell injury in the epidermis around the hair follicle. However, modern laser technology enables safe laser hair removal on individuals with dark skin by employing less strong wavelengths that do not cause skin harm. The entire process is performed more gradually for patients with darker skin tones, with longer intervals between appointments. Hair colour. The pigment eumelanin gives brown and black hair its colour, and it responds strongly to laser. In contrast, red and blonde hair, which includes pheomelanin, is not receptive to laser hair removal and is therefore unsuitable for treatment. Grey hair lacks colour and hence is also unsuitable. Patients with red, blonde, or grey hair are encouraged to visit our office so we can explore alternate hair removal treatments. The part of the body being targeted. Laser hair removal is effective on nearly every area of the body. Men typically focus on the chest, back, and shoulders. Women utilize it on their arms, legs, underarms, bikini region, and face. It is not recommended to use laser hair removal on the inside of the nose, the ears, or to shape the eyebrows. Because tattoos are made by inserting pigment into the skin, laser hair removal can harm the skin cells and affect the appearance of the tattoo. Some individuals who attempted laser hair removal on a tattooed area reported scorching, discomfort, and infection. Therefore, we do not advise laser hair removal on tattooed skin. Skin sensitivity. You are not automatically disqualified from laser hair removal procedures if you have sensitive skin. However, we recommend conducting a patch test to evaluate how the skin will react. In other instances, we may employ a more progressive, prolonged therapy method.

Laser hair removal is a minor risk of skin cell damage, especially in persons whose skin tone matches their hair colour. Nonetheless, this risk is minimized in several ways:

1. We never begin a treatment without doing a comprehensive assessment that includes a review of skin and hair type, the desired results, and any relevant medical problems.

2. For some patients, we employ a wavelength that poses a lower risk to the skin's surface.

3. In certain situations, we will space out treatments over a longer length of time.

4. The skin is cooled before, during, and after each treatment. This not only reduces soreness but also prevents skin damage.

In general, laser hair removal is painless, however, some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. For instance, the bikini region may be more susceptible to discomfort than the arms or legs. After treatment, numbing lotions can be administered to these locations. Shaving the region before the session may also be beneficial. Although hair must be present in the follicles for the therapy to be effective, shorter hair may make the operation more comfortable. As laser hair removal is a non-surgical, minimally painful process, neither anesthesia nor pain medication are required. Consequently, the likelihood of medical issues is minimal. One can endure slight pain, such as itching or burning, at most. Patients with extremely sensitive skin can receive a topical anesthetic. As with any operation, it is essential to adhere to the specified post-treatment care guidelines. Instructions for general care include the following:

Reduce your sun exposure. Protect the skin with loose clothing and/or sunscreen if exposure is unavoidable. Protect the skin with loose clothing and/or sunscreen if exposure is unavoidable.

Avoid having fresh tattoos on the treated region for several weeks after the last treatment has been administered.

Avoid using lotions and other skincare products that could make the skin more sensitive. Additionally, some textiles and washing detergents might exacerbate skin irritation.

What equipment do we use? Distill Laser Clinic uses cutting-edge GentleMAX laser. This is a dual-wavelength laser, combining a 755 nm Alexandrite laser with a 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser. The combined power of these lasers means more effective hair removal treatments for our patients. The laser is safe for all skin types, too, giving more people access to laser hair removal options than ever before.

We also use a Dynamic Cooling Device™ to make the treatment more comfortable for patients. This device prepares the skin for treatment by temporarily cooling it right before the laser pulse. This can help eliminate some discomfort patients may experience, especially on their first visit.

Unfortunately, laser hair removal is not suitable for everyone. If a patient has tattoos in the treatment area or if the hair colour is incompatible with laser hair removal, we will recommend an alternative approach. Electrolysis, which has been commercially available for over 20 years, is a viable alternative approach. Electric shocks must be administered to each hair follicle, which is a tedious and time-consuming process. Although it is clearly less convenient than laser hair removal, electrolysis can be performed on any hair colour, over tattooed skin, and in places of the body where laser hair removal is not advised.

Prior to beginning treatment, we encourage all patients to come in for a consultation so that we can examine your needs and establish if laser hair removal is best for you.

Stock up on razor blades. In order for laser hair removal to be effective, the hair must contain pigment. When we utilize epilating hair removal methods, such as waxing or plucking, our hair is automatically thinned and lightened, reducing the efficacy of the laser therapy. Patients are encouraged to shave for *several weeks prior to their first treatment and in between sessions.

Avoid products that irritate the skin. Laser hair removal may cause discomfort and irritation of the skin. By avoiding products containing chemicals such as retinol and hydroquinone, you can maximize results and decrease pain.

The price of laser hair removal varies on a number of variables, most significantly the size of the treated region. Although benefits are typically seen after the first session, the majority of patients require six to ten treatments to get permanent results. Some people may require additional therapies. Menopausal and perimenopausal women, as well as those taking hormone therapy or suffering from hormonal imbalances, may experience this. We provide "Results Guaranteed" package choices that provide as many sessions as necessary over a twenty-four month period.
