Laser Hair Removal

While shaving, plucking and waxing unwanted body hair can temporarily remove unwanted body hair, these methods are time-consuming and can result in skin irritation and ingrown hairs. At Guelph Medical Laser and Skin Centre, our laser hair removal treatments are a painless, more permanent solution to clearing the skin of body hair.

Guelph Medical Laser and Skin Centre is located in Guelph, Ontario. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover the benefits of laser hair removal.

 

What is Laser Hair Removal?

The use of razors, wax and tweezers on unwanted can body hair can not only lead to damage and irritation of your skin, it removes only the hair shaft, allowing body hair to grow back after a short period of time. During laser hair removal treatment, laser energy is delivered directly into the skin, where it is absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles and converted into heat.

Once heated to a controlled temperature, the hair follicles are damaged, preventing future hair regrowth. At Guelph Medical Laser and Skin Centre, we offer the top-of-the-line Venus Velosity™ Diode Laser Hair Removal Machine.

  • Venus Velocity™, with the proven efficacy of diode laser hair removal equipment and a real-time cooling system, provides the optimal balance between high energy absorption of melanin chromophores and deep penetration into the skin, making it safe and effective for all skin types, including tanned skin.

What Does Laser Hair Removal Treat?

Laser hair removal can be used on multiple areas of the body for women, including the:

  • Face
  • Underarms
  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Bikini area

For men common areas include:

  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Neck

Depending on patient preference, multiple areas may be treated in one session, which can be discussed with our medical team during your consultation.

 

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

During laser hair removal treatment, the dark pigment of hair follicles is targeted, leaving surrounding skin and tissues undamaged. Treated areas may appear slightly red or flushed after treatment, which is normal and should subside in a day or so. Most patients are able to return to normal activities immediately.

At Guelph Medical Laser and Skin Centre, we ensure that all of our laser technology is safe, FDA-approved and proven to be effective and reliable in clinical studies as well as on our own staff. We also invest in the most current technology for fast, reliable, and safe results.

During your consultation, our medical team will take your individual skin type and treatment areas into consideration and evaluate which type of laser treatment is right for you. All of your questions will also be addressed during this time, and a patch of your skin will be tested with the laser to ensure safety.

Contact us today to schedule a consultation with our medical team and eliminate shaving, waxing and plucking from your life for good.
