Laser hair removal works by delivering energy to the hair follicle in order to damage it and reduce its ability to grow back. While different devices work in different ways, the goal is always the same.<\/span><\/p>

At Dermamode, we use the GentleMax Pro laser device (not to be confused with IPL). It delivers light through a laser beam that creates heat in a very precise and controlled way. The GentleMax Pro uses two wavelengths, Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, which are highly absorbed by melanin, the pigment that gives the hair follicle its color. When the light is absorbed, it converts into heat, damaging the follicle and disrupting its ability to grow new hair.<\/span><\/p>

Simply put, the laser finds the hair, heats it up, and interrupts its ability to grow back, while leaving the surrounding skin untouched \u2014 or maybe just a little red for a short time. This is also why laser hair removal doesn\u2019t work on white hair, and why tanned skin isn\u2019t suitable for treatment. The laser needs contrast, and experienced technicians need to understand this in order to work safely and effectively.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After years of doing laser hair removal, we can say that the biggest benefit is the peace of mind it gives. No more worrying about being in between waxing appointments or not wearing your favorite pair of shorts because of it. It also means fewer razor burns, less bumpy or stubbly skin, and saying goodbye to those uncomfortable, often ugly ingrown hairs that tend to pop up after waxing.<\/span><\/p>

Laser hair removal truly leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth,for real! Just remember, this is a permanent <\/span>reduction<\/span><\/i>, not complete removal, so you may still get the occasional stray hair. When that happens, a quick shave will take care of that or the occasional touch-up treatment is also possible down the line.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s normal to feel a little sensitive after your treatment and to experience some redness. In some cases, a mild histamine reaction can occur, which looks like small, inflamed red bumps \u2014 this usually subsides within a few days.<\/span><\/p>

If you\u2019re new to laser hair removal at Dermamode, we make sure you\u2019re as comfortable as possible, using cold compresses and aloe if needed. A little tip: keep pure aloe vera (just aloe, no added ingredients) in the fridge and apply it to the treated area to calm and hydrate the skin. If you don\u2019t have aloe, a cold, damp towel from the fridge works just as well, apply it with gentle pressure to help soothe irritation.<\/span><\/p>

And one last thing: come to your appointment wearing loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated area.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Anyone who gives you an exact number of sessions isn\u2019t being completely truthful or doesn\u2019t fully understand the process. At Dermamode, based on years of experience, we recommend starting with 6 treatments, but most clients will need 7, 8, or even 9 sessions. Some stop there, while others continue with a 10th or 11th treatment.<\/span><\/p>

The number of sessions needed varies from person to person and depends on factors like the area being treated, skin type, and hair density. You\u2019ll usually start seeing results after your 2nd or 3rd session, but for optimal results, a full series is necessary.<\/span><\/p>

At Dermamode, once you reach 10 sessions, you receive a promotional price. It\u2019s not that we want you to keep coming back\u00a0 but if you do need additional treatments, we try to make it as accessible and affordable as possible.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We wouldn\u2019t describe laser hair removal as painful, but it can be uncomfortable. Most people tolerate the treatment well and describe the sensation as a quick, heated pinch. That said, everyone\u2019s tolerance is different.<\/span><\/p>

Some clients choose to use a numbing cream before their appointment, especially for more sensitive areas like the upper lip, which can help make the treatment more comfortable.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Hair removal patients should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. Do not expose the intended treatment area to sunlight or tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment. Apply sunblock (SPF 30 or above) before treatment.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Laser hair removal, especially when performed with the GentleMax Pro, does not come with a long list of risks and is Health Canada\u2013approved for the treatment of unwanted hair. That said, it is still a laser treatment.<\/span><\/p>

To minimize the risk of adverse reactions, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), it\u2019s important to carefully follow the pre- and post-treatment guidelines provided by our technicians. With the right aftercare, laser hair removal is considered a safe and effective treatment.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
