Laser Hair Removal is a procedure that works by emitting light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair during Laser Hair Removal. The hair follicles—tube-shaped sacs within the skin—that create hair are damaged when the light energy is transformed into heat. This damage prevents or delays the growth of new hair. Laser Hair Removal in Toronto is a great option for stubborn areas that may grow back fast and/or coarse considering it provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair growth.
At Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, we use Fotona’s high-performance Nd:YAG laser systems. This new system, combined with FRAC3® technology has introduced new standards of efficiency in providing safe and effective hair reduction – using an innovative system that effectively targets hair follicles with a combination of selective and homogenous photothermolysis.
Fotona laser system in Toronto is a perfect choice for permanent hair removal. It incorporates revolutionary pulse-control technology and a proprietary three-dimensional treatment pattern (FRAC3®) to provide safe and effective facial hair reduction.
The Nd:YAG laser’s deep penetration allows it to penetrate even the deepest hair follicles, while its low absorption in all skin types preserves the surrounding tissue. This ensures safe, quick, and effective hair removal, even on the darkest skin types, without the epidermal damage that is inherent to conventional light-based treatments. The operation is brief and generally painless. Immediately, you will be able to resume your daily activities.
With the help of cutting-edge pulse-control technology and a unique three-dimensional treatment pattern (FRAC3®), Fotona's Nd:YAG lasers can safely and effectively reduce hair. Only Nd:YAG is safe for use on all skin types, in contrast to other wavelengths. The ground-breaking device from Fotona in Toronto precisely targets surface treatment areas while sparing nearby tissues.
The patient's skin and hair types, as well as the practitioner's abilities and treatment understanding, all play a significant role in the success of hair reduction treatment. The majority of patients in Toronto can anticipate a large reduction in unwanted hair, and any additional hair growth will often be lighter and thinner than previously.
One of the many benefits of Laser Hair Removal is the laser’s versatility of usage. It can easily target both larger and smaller areas of the body. Here are some of the most frequently treated areas at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto.
A key part to a successful Laser Hair Removal appointment with us at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto is making sure you have optimal preparation for the most success. To ensure this happens for your appointment, we at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic ask that you refrain from the following before your appointment:
At Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, we recommend the following TO DO before your appointment to ensure successful hair removal:
Booking your next appointment with us at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, we recommend waiting between 6-8 weeks post appointment. It is best practice to consider your own hair growth cycle.
After your Laser Hair Removal appointment in Toronto, we recommend treating the area gently. Using fragrance free gentle cleanser. Do not wax/scratch/ pluck or thread the treated area. As well as continuing 2 weeks post appointment to avoid sun exposure.
The clinic and practitioner's level of training and experience, among other factors, could influence the cost. Each person's hair type and growth cycle can also affect the price, it can change the amount of treatments you might need to successfully remove the hair in the targeted area. Our facility at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic is in the Toronto region. The cost of Laser Hair Removal in Toronto / North York / Markham / Mississauga / Richmond Hill can vary from $100-$200 and up per session, depending on the size of the area being treated. The best way to get the most accurate pricing is to book a consultation with us at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic and we will work together to determine your compatibility with the laser as well as how many treatments you may need to remove the hair from the area of concern.
Before your treatment, our team at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto will host a consultation with you. During the consultation we will assess your personal situation and which areas you wish to have treated, determining if you will be a good candidate for Laser Hair Removal. Upon successful candidacy determination, we strongly suggest that you do not pluck, wax, or sugar for a few weeks before your appointment with us in Toronto. When you do any of the above mentioned hair removal processes, these can damage the hair follicle before the procedure. Our Fotona Lasers use light and the follicle as a passage to destroy the follicle. Any damage beforehand can adversely affect this process and in turn affect your results.
During your Laser Hair Removal appointment in Toronto, your treatment provider will clean up the area and then proceed to apply the laser over your skin and hair, releasing pulses of light. With the Fotona laser, there is a cooling system in place that will help to remove heat from the skin's surface during your treatment. This helps to minimize discomfort and protect the skin from damage.
Post appointment with us at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, it is possible to experience some redness and swelling around the treated area. This is very normal and will dissipate quickly. It's imperative to protect the area with clothing or sunscreen after your appointment as the area can be rather sensitive after treatment.
The weeks following your appointment in Toronto, it is possible to still see hair growing in the area. This is due to the body’s natural response of ejecting the lifeless hair, and will fall out easily. It's important to remember that hair grows in cycles and during one hair removal treatment may not successfully target every single hair. The number of treatments depends on your body’s own natural hair type and growth cycle. At Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto we will go over this with you more in-depth during your consultation.
Anagen: The growth cycle, or anagen, is the best time for laser treatments to be effective. When hair is visible on the skin's surface during the anagen phase, the laser can hold onto it and transmit heat down the hair strand into the hair follicle.
Catagen: Right before the hair comes out naturally, not as a result of laser treatment, is the catagen stage of the hair cycle. Because the hair is being forced out of the follicle and is already dead, Laser Hair Removal won't be as effective during this time.
Telogen: The last stage, telogen, is characterized by neither hair growth nor development beneath the skin. Telogen, also known as the resting stage, is the least desirable time for Laser Hair Removal because no hair is visible above the skin's surface.
Due to the cyclical nature of hair growth, additional treatments with us at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto are required to attain permanent results. In general, you can anticipate a reduction of anywhere from 5% to 25% with each treatment, and the hair that grows back thereafter is often lighter and finer. Typically, treatments are performed every 6 to 8 weeks.
