Laser Hair Removal in Toronto: Is It For Me?
Laser hair removal is a procedure whereby a special laser is used to reduce the growth of unwanted hair. During the treatment, the laser pulses for just a fraction of a second, heating the hair follicle and impairing its ability to re-grow. The number of treatments required depends on the individual. Significantly less hair grows back with each treatment, ultimately resulting in permanent hair reduction.
The Goldberg Centre for Vision Correction & Cosmetic Surgery features some of the latest laser hair removal equipment, the Light Sheer Diode and Epilight Laser Hair Removal systems. These lasers can be used to treat all skin types. Many Toronto laser hair removal patients are delighted to learn that these lasers can be used to treat not only legs, arms and the bikini area, but they can also be safely employed to remove annoying facial hair.
Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Laser removal procedure begins with application of a special numbing lotion to the area to be treated. After the patient is prepared, laser energy is applied in order to remove hair follicles. Due to the precisely targeted laser beam, only hair follicles are destroyed, leaving the surrounding skin intact. After a laser hair removal procedure, patients are advised to avoid tanning, and visiting the sauna or Jacuzzi for 24 hours. Most laser hair removal Toronto patients do not experience any discomfort and do not require special care following their treatments.
