What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses laser to remove unwanted hair. Compared to the conventional electrolysis and IPL technologies, laser hair removal is more effective in terms of long-term results with fewer treatment sessions required. Common areas for laser hair removal include armpits, back, legs, upper lip, and the bikini line. However, this procedure can be applied to nearly the whole body, except for the areas around the eyes or those with tattoos.
How Laser Hair Removal Works?
Laser hair removal works by emitting the light of a laser, which then converts to heat that damages hair follicles. This damage will delay or inhibit the future hair growth. Multiple treatment sessions are required to achieve permanent hair removal.
The most popular laser hair removal technologies are Alexandrite, Diode and Nd:Yag with different laser wavelengths targeting different Fitzpatrick skin types.
Fitzpatrick skin type describes a way to classify the skin by its reaction to exposure to the sunlight (refer to the image below). It is graded from I to VI with type I being the lightest ethnic skin color and type VI being the darkest skin color.
- Alexandrite Laser (755nm): This laser has a shorter wavelength that targets melanin (pigment) more aggressively. It’s ideal for lighter skin tones (Types I – III) with dark, coarse hair because it effectively reaches the hair follicle without excessively affecting the surrounding skin. However, it’s not recommended for darker skin tones as it carries a higher risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.
- Diode Laser (810 nm): This laser offers a good balance between targeting melanin and reaching the hair follicle. It works well for light to olive skin tones (Types III – IV) with various hair colors. However, it might not be as effective for very dark skin tones (Type V – VI) due to the potential for skin reactions.
- Nd:YAG Laser (1064nm): This laser has a longer wavelength that penetrates deeper into the skin with less melanin absorption. It’s the preferred option for darker skin tones (Types V & VI) because it minimizes the risk of burns or pigmentation issues. However, it might require more sessions compared to other lasers for lighter skin tones.

FAQ's
In general, laser hair removal is safe if done by a qualified laser professional with a Health Canada approved laser technology. We strongly recommend that you have the procedure done by an experienced and reputable laser hair removal provider in Waterloo Kitchener area to possibly avoid any potential side effects and complications.
Pre-care and post-care instructions are essential for ensuring the best results for laser hair removal treatments while minimizing potential side effects.
Pre-treatment Instructions:
- Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment. The laser targets the hair follicle beneath the skin, and shaving helps prevent surface burns.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Please stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks before your appointment. Sunburned skin cannot be treated, and tanned skin increases the risk of side effects.
- Avoid Certain Skincare Products: Do not use Retin-A, Retinol, or other exfoliating agents for at least 5 days before your treatment.
- Avoid Certain Skin Treatments: Do not perform laser resurfacing and chemical peel treatments on the area to be treated for 1 month before your treatment.
- Avoid Plucking and Waxing: Do not pluck, wax, or use hair removal creams for at least 4 weeks before your treatment. These methods remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target.
- Avoid Bleaching: Refrain from bleaching the hair for at least 6 weeks before your treatment, as this can make the hair more difficult for the laser to target.
- Clean the Area: Ensure the area to be treated is clean and free of any lotions, creams, or makeup.
- Consult Your Technician: Inform us about any medications you are taking, as some can affect your skin’s sensitivity to the laser.
- Wear Loose Clothing: On the day of your appointment, wear loose clothing to avoid irritation of the treated area.
Post-treatment Instructions:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from sun exposure by using a high SPF sunscreen for at least 2 weeks after your treatment.
- Cool the Area: Use a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe any redness or discomfort
- Avoid Hot Environments: Steer clear of hot tubs, saunas, and hot showers for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
- No Scratching: Do not scratch or pick at the treated area. Mild swelling and redness are normal and should subside within a few hours to a couple of days. You can use a product such as Sudocream to help calm the skin and promote healing.
- Gentle Skincare: Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days after your treatment.
- Moisturize: Keep the treated area moisturized, but avoid heavy creams that can clog pores.
- No Plucking or Waxing: Refrain from plucking or waxing the treated area between sessions. Shaving is acceptable.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Adhere to the recommended schedule for follow-up treatments to achieve optimal results.
