Laser Hair Removal in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light beams (lasers) to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The procedure is safe, effective, and can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The process involves using a laser that emits a specific wavelength of light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin. Over several treatments, this damage prevents the follicles from producing new hair, leading to long-lasting hair reduction.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal :
Lasers precisely target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hairs simultaneously. Small areas like the upper lip can be treated in under a minute, while larger areas such as the back or legs may take up to an hour.
After an average of 6 to 8 sessions, most patients experience permanent hair loss in the treated areas.
Our advanced laser technology minimizes discomfort, and our expert team ensures you feel at ease.
What to Expect During Your Treatment:
The area to be treated will be cleaned before the procedure starts. You will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light.
Your nurse will guide the laser device over the targeted areas. You may feel a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin, but the discomfort is minimal.
There may be some redness or swelling immediately after treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours. You can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated areas.
The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to one hour.
Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is effective for most skin types, but it works best on individuals with light skin and dark hair. Advances in laser technology have made it possible to treat a broader range of skin tones, but those with darker skin may require more sessions for optimal results. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin and hair type to determine the best treatment plan.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective during the growth phase. Because not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time, multiple sessions are required to target all the hair in the treated area. Most patients achieve their desired results in 6 to 8 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
