Don’t know if you got the memo, but we are OBSESSED with our clients Hope you all had fun at our appreciation event and photoshoot! Here are some special shots of the night
a huge thank you to Hollypop Images – Caitlin Cowan for the fun photo shoot op! Stay tuned for more fun events for our loyal clients!
You can assume that each treatment session will cost you between $200 and $400, depending on which area is getting the treatment, and you can also expect that you will need regular treatment sessions, often for several months. All of this adds up, although many people tend to overlook the total cost of laser skin care.
If you opt for the full permanent hair removal treatment process, you do have to accept the fact that it will cost you several thousand dollars. Of course, you have to be able to afford to pay that comfortably, and although most people benefit from the treatment, you should also be prepared for it not to work for you, regardless of how much you paid.
You may end up paying even more in the long run if you take advantage of the credit option that is offered by some clinics. You may decide that a more sensible solution is to have the full treatment at some point in the future once you have saved up the money needed to cover the total cost, and in the meantime look at temporary hair removal options.
Finding a reputable and experienced clinic is a must, and that may mean doing some preliminary research or asking others for recommendations. The truth is that anyone can claim that they are qualified and able to carry out laser hair removal, as the procedure is not regulated in many countries, including the US.
Serious side effects such as skin burns can be a result of having the procedure carried out by someone who is unlicensed and inexperienced. However, laser hair removal is entirely safe when carried out correctly and with the right settings.
It’s often all about making a sale and getting another customer, and many clinics resort to high-pressure selling. You may be offered a limited time discount for the service, although if you aren’t given any time to think about it and are expected to say yes immediately, you may want to avoid that facility.
Of course, it isn’t ethical for a clinic to pressure potential clients in this way, and considering the money you are spending and the effect the procedure can have, you should steer well clear of these tactics.
Nasty burns and in some cases permanent scarring can result from having treatment if you have a tattoo in that area. That’s because the power of the laser is absorbed more by the tattoo’s dark pigment than by the surrounding skin.
Your practitioner will be able to advise you the type of laser that is being used and whether the FDA database has it in their records. A laser that isn’t approved by the FDA isn’t safe and shouldn’t be used, although unfortunately there are many out there.
Some lasers aren’t compatible with dark skin color, including yours if you score higher than four on what is known as the Fitzpatrick scale.
Although the procedure is perfectly safe, some people experience a severe reaction to the laser being used. To prevent the possibility of that happening, you should ask for the patch test carried our beforehand, in which a small patch test is carried out on your body.
Don’t proceed with treatment at any clinic that refuses to provide a patch test for whatever reason. A reputable facility is used for clients asking for that and will provide one, allowing you to make the best possible decision.
Some people don’t respond well to the treatment, despite the effectiveness of this type of therapy having been proven in many clinical tests.
However, despite all the research, it still isn’t fully understood why sometimes even the ideal candidates don’t respond well – those with very light skin and dark, coarse hair. You should always assume you are taking a calculated risk, and gathering all the information you can to make your decision better is a must.

There has been an upswing in individuals seeking laser hair removal; therefore, entrepreneurs and providers of aesthetic products have naturally been taking an interest in and querying about the favored treatment. Below is a master list of frequently asked questions about laser hair removal: all the knowledge you need in one place:
In Canada, unwanted hair, whether it is on the hands, upper lip, bikini area, feet or arms, back, and legs, is a significant source of cosmetic torment. Many individuals are tired of repeatedly removing unwanted hair through painful and tedious techniques like shaving, tweezing and waxing. In response, there has been a high demand for this type of hair reduction.
Both men and women can have this procedure done. The majority of women want to remove hair from their legs, bikini area, and underarms. Men are typically more interested in reducing hair on their necks and backs.
When they were initially introduced, the procedure carried out by the hair removal lasers was intended for patients with dark hairs and light skin. However, revolutionary technologies effectively and safely remove hair from patients of all hair colors and skin types.
During treatment, bright flashes of light are emitted, via a light-based system, into the skin at the site of the unwanted hair. The light energy is absorbed by the hair follicles, it heats up and becomes damaged. Each light energy pulse takes mere seconds and simultaneously treats many hairs; this makes it quick and easy to perform the procedure. Treatments typically last between 10 and 30 minutes, based on the size of the treatment area. Larger treatment heads are featured on hair removal systems for quicker treatment sessions.
Hair grows in different phases, and as such, multiple treatments are required to target the hair follicles during the growth stage. The majority of patients need between 4 and six treatments for long-lasting or permanent results. Over time, touch-ups could also be required. Following the first treatment, patients should see results in the form of smoother skin and hairs growing back weaker and more beautiful. The results will become more and more impressive and noticeable with each treatment until the destruction of all follicles is achieved, stopping hair growth.
Laser hair removal functions to destroy the hair follicle root. During treatment, light flashes are spread over the skin and immersed in the hair follicle by the melanin. The laser energy heats up and causes damage to the hair follicle, effectively stunting the cells responsible for stimulating regrowth. It should be noted that hair growth takes place in a cycle and effective hair removal is only possible during its active growth stage.
Each hair experiences three growth stages: the anagen, the catagen, and the telogen phase. The anagen stage or the growth stage is the phase in which the hair continues to grow actively. The catagen phase or the transitional phase occurs when there is a shrinking and detachment of the hair follicle from the papilla. The telogen phase or the resting phase involves the release and falling out of the old hair. As old hair sheds, there is reattachment of the hair follicle to the papilla, and the anagen phase is re-entered as the cycle is repeated.
Each body hair can be at a different growth cycle stage at any point in time. Therefore, multiple laser treatments are essential to target the hair in its anagen phase and to target numerous hair follicles in their growth stage.
For desired results, the majority of patients need between 5 and eight treatments spread out over 4 to 6 weeks. Technology enables almost every patient, regardless of hair or skin type, to receive long-term results for removing unwanted hair. Lighter-haired patients could require more treatments; however, they will still get useful results after the treatments end.
For permanent results, the majority of patients need between 6 and 12 treatments. To target follicles during the growth stage, the procedures are spread out 4 to 6 weeks apart. Irrespective of the technology used, results will be experienced at different levels by patients, based on their hair color and skin type.
Pricing for hair removal varies according to the size of the treatment area, laser hair clinic, states and competitive markets. Based on a 2017 Beauty Pros cosmetology blog, the United States national average price range was High $900, Average $329 and Low $60.
The prices at the majority of laser hair clinic are based on the size of the treatment area. Additionally, laser hair clinic offers individual bundles and treatment packages to assist patients in saving more on several treatment plans and receiving treatment on more than one parts of the body.
Patients can save money, time and pain with laser hair removal. A recent Harper’s Bazaar article compared the price of 3 hair removal sessions to 35 years of waxing continuously. The outcomes showed that laser hair removal cost less than a third of the amount of waxing.
The primary technologies used in permanent hair reduction are IPL (intense pulsed light) and diode (lasers) systems.
Instead of a single specific wavelength that targets melanin in the hair, a broad spectrum of light is produced by IPL; between 550 nm and 1200 nm. Lasers generate a concentrated light wavelength to target melanin in hair specifically. Typically, diode technology uses a wavelength between 800 nm and 810 nm. Otherwise, they both efficiently target hair to get optimal outcomes, and they work in the same way necessarily.

Although you shaved last night, a new crop has grown this morning, unbidden, prickly, and winding its way into your morning schedule. Although you would like to wear your workday suit or workout gear, you first have to complete an appointment with the razor.
You are probably tired of losing the follicle feud, whether you have been shaving, waxing, or tweezing those annoying problem hairs. Laser hair removal is nowadays more prevalent than before and available at dermatologists, laser hair clinic, and day spas, you may be thinking about the equivalent of concrete booties for the hairy interlopers of your skin. However, you might be thinking if permanent hair removal is permanent.
Laser hair removal employs focused light energy to kill individual hair follicles beneath the surface of the skin. However, not all hair has the same growth cycle at any given point in time. It is essential to understand this distinction, as it implies that some hair will not be burnt by the laser and will continue to grow. To target individual hairs during their growth cycles, you will require a series of laser treatments. Despite this, some hair may eventually grow back.
Although permanent laser hair removal is a misleading term, you can expect a marked reduction in hair, after six to eight treatments. Touch-up treatments every six to 12 months can efficiently manage any regrowth.
Laser hair removal treatment feels like the pinch of a heated rubber band on your skin and typically costs $500 to $1,000. You may also smell the odor of burnt hair.
Your skin tone and type of hair and skin tone can affect hair removal as well. The laser hair removal process is most effective when the laser beam can focus on a difference in pigment, like dark hair coming out of the light skin. Because the pigment absorbs the concentrated light, laser hair removal is not so active on people with gray or blonde hair.
Ensure you have taken a couple of skin protection precautions before you show up for your hair removal appointment. Stay at arms distance from anything that could darken the color of your skin — such as sun exposure or tanning beds — and attract the laser beam to the pigment in your skin. You will also have to stop using any products that increase the sensitivity of your skin, such as vitamin C serums or retinol creams. You should not go for laser hair removal if you are consuming medications that increase your skin’s sensitivity to light.
Include some aftercare to your skin maintenance routine, if you plan to go for laser hair removal. Avoid saltwater swims and chlorinated pools for one week after your treatment. Also, do not expose your skin to sunlight, as your skin will be more sensitive after laser treatment.

Many of us are searching through our closet or drawers for our sundress or bikini, now that summer is here.
However, many women associate summer with more extreme efforts to remove that unwanted hair. It can become incredibly tedious, with expensive and time-consuming trips to the salon, or buy one of those razors that supposedly will do a wonderful job, as many of us know only too well.
If waxing is just too painful and troublesome, you may be interested in one of the at home laser hair removal kits that some companies have introduced. One of the big appeals of these kits is that they guarantee you won’t have to keep doing this every year as the results will be permanent.
It can be difficult to figure out if these at home laser hair treatment products work as promised, and if so which is the best one for your money. It’s too soon to be sure if many of these products do give permanent results as the products are also new and haven’t been tested fully. It sounds too good to be true that if you buy one of these kits, you can permanently remove all your unwanted hair once and for all by sitting in front of the TV. And reading all the reviews and opinions from the beauty bloggers out there makes it all the more confusing.
Of course, the lasers in at home laser hair treatment kits aren’t as strong as those used by a professional, but they work in essentially the same way, by targeting and killing hair follicles. Most of these devices work by having you hold it in place for a few seconds until it indicates that a particular area has been treated, usually by flashing, beeping or shutting off. You then have to repeat the procedure on another area of your body after moving the device over a few centimeters.
The size of the area that you want to treat will give you some clue as to how long it may take you to do this at home; laser hair removal on your leg may take a while, as you can imagine. Treatments will need to be carried out weekly, or every other week and 10 to 15 minutes a session seems to be the time you will need to spend, according to the manufacturers.
To ensure you don’t mess up your treatment or hurt your skin, safety features are built into some of the more expensive laser hair removal products. Some devices, if they detect a darker skin tone, won’t put out a laser pulse.
Hyperpigmentation and discoloration of the skin can result from darker skin pigment being treated by a hair removal device. Because the technology in these at home devices isn’t advanced enough, they incorporate these safety features to protect customers. Different levels of intensity for those who are more pain sensitive, and a sensor indicating if the device is being held the right way are other common safety features in at home laser hair treatment devices.
Whereas a laser clinic can confidently offer a hair removal amount of 100 percent, most of these at home devices will only remove between 60 and 75 percent of your unwanted hair, according to users. Stray hairs will appear occasionally, claim some beauty bloggers, meaning that the occasional touch-up session may be required. However, there isn’t any harm in trying one of these devices yourself, as they haven’t been known to cause injuries or damage the skin.
A monochromatic beam using light rays of just one wavelength will typically be used as a professional laser clinic, whereas the devices used at home use IPL. This means they use a combination of low-range infrared radiation wavelengths and a polychromatic beam that uses the full spectrum. And of course, you have the help, support, and expertise of a trained medical professional if you go to a laser clinic to have your hair removed; at home, you don’t get that same support.
In addition to the skill and experience of your provider, the factors are the treatment protocol, the wavelength and the type of laser. You have the advantage of being given a treatment plan that has been personalized for you if you go to a professional clinic, while at home the devices assume everyone is the same. People shouldn’t be receiving the same laser treatments, as of course, no two people are exactly alike.
It is safe to say that you probably won’t remove 100 percent of your unwanted hair by using an at-home laser hair removal device. Most of us just aren’t trained in how our bodies will react to the laser and don’t know anything about our hair growth cycle. However, now that you have a few more facts at your disposal, you should be in a better position to make an informed decision as to whether at home laser hair treatment is right for you.
To get permanent results, the wavelength has to be adjusted based on the skin type, skin color and type and thickness of the hair. However, these at home devices don’t allow that adjustment to be made or customized. So consider what sort of results you might realistically see, before buying one.

Laser hair removal is one of the best options available for anyone looking for a safe and efficient way to remove unwanted facial hair. Although you may need to have several treatment sessions, the procedure is typically quick, with only minor discomfort experienced during and after the treatment. When preparing for treatment, always follow the advice and instructions of your dermatologist, before, during and after the procedure.
Give at least several weeks notice when making an appointment for laser removal of hair on the upper lip.
So that you have an accurate idea of what to expect, talk about your goals and any concerns with your dermatologist.
You will need to give your dermatologist a full medical history which may include taking photographs. Mention any serious conditions, scars, allergies and prior surgery.
Your dermatologist will also need to know about all the medication you are taking, including minerals or vitamin supplements, especially those with beta-carotene, as well as over the counter medication and anything prescribed to you. If you are using any skin care products, your dermatologist will need to know, especially if these require avoiding exposure to the sun.
Not everybody tolerates the laser hair treatment well; to make sure you don’t have any severe reaction you should ask your dermatologist to do a patch test. It involves treating a small area to see how well you respond, before treating a larger area.
About 4 to 6 weeks before your laser hair removal treatment starts, stop using any tanning salons, tanning beds or bronzers. If you are exposed to the sun, make sure your sunscreen has an SPF of at least 15. Fair skin is much more suitable for laser hair removal.
About 2 to 4 weeks before your treatment starts, don’t remove any hair from your upper lip by any method, including mechanical epilators, chemical solutions, tweezers, thread or wax.
You will see better laser hair removal results if you have some stubble there when treatment is carried out, meaning you shouldn’t trim or shave your upper lip at least three days before treatment begins.
Use a mild cleanser, but no make-up or moisturizers, to wash your face immediately before your appointment time.
If your dermatologist advises it, you can apply a local cream designed to numb the treatment area, before your appointment.
To reduce discomfort, ask your doctor about taking acetaminophen, ibuprofen or another over the counter pain reliever, before your treatment appointment. You may have to postpone your treatment if you have a cold when the treatment is scheduled; anti-viral medication may also be needed to fight any cold sores.
