Conditions

Treatment

Laser hair removal is a highly effective, painless procedure that we excel in at Oakville Plastic Surgery. Using the GentleMax laser from Candela we can safely and comfortably remove unwanted hair. This dual wavelength laser combines the efficacy of the 755 nm Alexandrite laser with the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for all skin Fitzpatrick types with unmatched speed, performance, and patient safety. It works by sending a pulse of light into the roots of each hair, disabling their growth – the only current cosmetic solution for permanent hair removal. Our treatment is suitable for any part of the body from upper lip to bikini lines to the chest etc.

 

How It Works

The laser specifically targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. The laser concentrates its energy on the melanin and effectively destroys it (and the attached hair follicle) through heat energy, preventing future growth. The amount of treatments required will be determined by hair type and colour, body area….
