Laser Hair Removal  For Men & Women

How does Laser Work?
Laser Hair Removal, which is quite remarkable, is in fact quite simple to describe:
By emitting light energy, the pigment within the hair follicles absorbs light, which is then converted into heat*..the heat loosens the hair, disables the cells, and destroys the possibility of new hair growth. Treatments are safe, comfortable and can be used on all areas of the body, with the exception of eyebrows.Treatments are fast, comfortable and affordable.

Preparation for Laser is Easy.
You will be asked to shave the treatment area, prior to your session. To ensure a safe & effective treatment, it is extremely important to avoid direct sun exposure, self-tanners and tanning beds 4 weeks prior to treatment.  Clients are advised to inform us in situations where this has not been possible.

Assured Comfort & Safety:
ALL Laser Sessions at The Facial Place include
ZIMMER INTEGRATED COOLING® INTEGRATED COOLING®
demonstrating to you that your "Laser Session does not have to hurt, in order to be effective!"
Clients are able to resume normal activities immediately after their lasertreatment, and although some may experience mild redness/warmth, this usually subsides within a couple of hours. *Note, most clients experience no side effects at all.


For individuals with a darker skin type, our Technicians will perform "spot tests", allowing us the opportunity to determine a SAFE baseline from which to start.
The number of treatments varies depending on the texture and location of the hair, as well as the colour of the client's skin. On average clients can expect to require between 5 -8 sessions. Sessions are usually spaced 6 weeks apart, and yet this can vary, depending on the area being treated.

To better understand how Laser Hair Removal can achieve the most effective results, it is helpful to have some understanding of the hair growth cycle.


The hair growth cycle consists of three stages: 
1. Growth Phase (Anagen)
2. Transition Phase (Catagen)
3. Resting Phase (Telogen)


Anagen is the active growth phase of hair follicles. The cells in the root of hair are dividing rapidly, extending to the hair shaft. During the anagen phase the hair follicles are most receptive to the laser light as they are rich in protein (keratinized cells) and melanin. The duration of the anagen phase for a hair follicle is genetically determined. About 85% of hair follicles on our body are in the anagen phase, which may last for about 2-6 years. At the completion of the anagen phase, the follicle enters the catagen phase.

During the catagen phase, the hair stops growing, and remains in this phase for only 2-3 weeks before moving into the next phase. Approximately 5% of our hair is in this phase at any given time.

The next stage is the telogen phase when the hair starts to shed while the follicle is stimulated to begin a new cycle. The length of this stage is about 100 days for the healthy follicles on the scalp, but may vary significantly for hair on the other areas of the body. Approximately 10% of hair follicles are in the telogen phase at any given time.
Now we know that the anagen is the most important phase for laser hair removal. The results of a single laser hair removal procedure will largely depend on the amount of hair in the treated area that is in the anagen phase. This is also why multiple laser hair removal treatments are required to achieve the ideal results since hair follicles in a single area may be at different growth phases.
