Frequently Asked Questions
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles. The treatment is known for its precision and effectiveness, making it a go-to choice for those looking to eliminate unwanted hair. It's essential to understand the process thoroughly before embarking on your journey to smoother skin.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Before we dive into the details of laser hair removal in Calgary, let's explore the science behind it. Laser hair removal operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis. The concentrated light energy of the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, which damages them, inhibiting further hair growth. The process is precise, targeting only the hair and leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
What Can You Expect During and After Treatment?
You must shower or bath and shave thoroughly within 24 hours prior to your laser treatment. The treatment will be most effective on clean, untanned skin with NO hair growth above the surface. Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams within four weeks prior to the appointment, as the hairs have to be attached to the follicle in order for the treatment to work. You will feel a warm, prickly feeling as the laser delivers the energy into the hair follicles. This sensation is usually very tolerable.
Afterward, your skin may look slightly red and have small, red bumps where the follicles are, which is completely normal. Many clients have no noticeable effects afterward. The redness and bumps will fade over the next few hours. Cold packs and an over-the-counter Cortisone cream can help as well if needed. Avoid hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, or any sweat on the treated area for 24 hours post-treatment, or until the redness and bumps have completely disappeared.
The hair that was beneath the surface of the skin no longer has a follicle and your body will slowly eject it approx. 2-3 weeks after the treatment. It may look like growing hair but simply exfoliate or continue shaving until the dead hair has all fallen out.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
One common concern about laser hair removal is the pain level. Many individuals worry that the procedure might be painful. The level of discomfort can vary from person to person and is often described as a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. However, modern laser technology has significantly reduced discomfort, making the process more tolerable for most people.
How Much is Laser Hair Removal
The cost of laser hair removal in Calgary can vary based on several factors. For a small area like lips, it can cost $35 a session and for an entire back is $180. The cost also can depend on the number of sessions required.

Is Laser Hair Removal Actually Permanent?
One of the most common questions people have about laser hair removal is whether it is truly permanent. While it significantly reduces hair growth, laser hair removal is considered a long-term solution, not necessarily permanent. Maintenance sessions may be needed to ensure smooth, hair-free skin in the long run.
