<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAt Lesprit Medical Clinic we provide Laser Hair Removal treatments since 1997. We break down the various hair and skin types that each type of laser can treat, so a customized mix-and-match approach is taken to give each patient suitable treatment. Our licensed laser professionals have extensive experience using a variety of up-to-date laser technology, so they can recommend the most appropriate treatment. Laser hair removal method is suitable for both men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THE PROCESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laser hair reduction works by destroying the hair\nfollicles using heat. Light energy of a specific wavelength is applied to the\nskin and absorbed by the hair pigment called melanin, without causing damage to\nthe surrounding skin. This causes the pigment to heat up, which damages both\nthe hair shaft and the follicle, disrupting its growth and causing the hair to\nfall out. Any hair that does grow back will be thinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AM I A CANDIDATE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s possible to remove any type of pigmented hair\nusing laser although the darker hair generally responds to laser treatment far\nbetter than lighter hair. Grey or white hair has no pigment and cannot be\nremoved using laser. Electrolysis, the permanent alternative that treats all\nhair types including grey and white, is available at Lesprit Medical Clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PREPARATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preparing for laser treatment may differ depending on the type of laser used. With certain types of laser, to increase the effectiveness of your treatment, you may have to shave or trim the hair on the day of each session. With other varieties of laser, shaving isn\u2019t necessary but a few days may be required for the hair to fall out. However, you should not pluck, wax or bleach the hair, as this will not leave enough pigmented hair for the laser to work on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TREATMENT DURATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treatment sessions vary in length depending on the\nsize\u2028and location of the area that is being treated. Upper lip\u2028treatment may\ntake as little as five minutes, larger areas\u2028as underarms or bikini may take\nabout 15-20 minutes. Since treatment only affects hair in the growth phase,\nseveral\u2028sessions will be needed. Treatments are recommended every four to six\nweeks, with a course of possibly four to ten sessions required. Nonetheless,\nyou may see significant results from the first session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe results from a laser hair removal procedure depend on your skin tone, your hair type, and the growth phase of the hair being treated. It is important to realize that laser hair removal will likely not prevent hair from growing completely. However, laser hair removal can reduce hair growth significantly over time giving your skin the smooth appearance that you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Side effects are rare. Generally your skin may\ninitially redden and you may feel a slight burning sensation, but this will\npass quickly within a few hours or a day or two at most. In rare cases, the\ntreated skin may appear darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter\n(hypopigmentation), or you may get mild blistering, however the risk of\nscarring is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
