Laser Hair Removal

---

SharpLight’s innovative and safe med-aesthetic systems offer excellent, lasting hair reduction/removal results with minimum discomfort in a relatively small number of treatment sessions. 

More specifically, SharpLight’s advanced technologies, based on pulsed light or photoepilation, enable personalized, precise treatments that achieve effective, permanent results.  

Using these technologies, the hair reduction is achieved when the energy is transformed to heat in the active growth follicles, coagulating the follicle and limiting re-growth. The technologies’ high heat power delivers noticeable results in less time and these results are targeted so as to protect the surrounding skin

Excess  body hair can be unsightly and embarrassing. Shaving, plucking and  waxing provide temporary fixes that are inconvenient, irritating, messy,  time consuming and painful.

Excess  and unwanted hair is a common problem. Women frequently experience this  condition on the face, especially the upper lip and chin, bikini area,  under arms and legs. Men often wish to rid themselves of hair on their  back and chest and between their eyebrows.

Laser  hair removal uses various wavelengths of light to target hair follicles  and impair their ability to grow. It can be used on most skin types and  hair colour. 

It is fast and there is minimal discomfort (a prickle sensation people say), and NO DOWN TIME!

Before  your first treatment you will need a short 15 minute free consultation with  one of our certified laser technicians. This consultation is needed to  assess your skin type, assess your suitability for treatment and to  discuss how to prep your skin for the best possible result.  If you require a treatment on the day of your consultation this can be arranged  too.

During treatment, the skin is first  cleaned of any lotions or beauty products.  The laser hair removal device is then held to the targeted treatment area.  The laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle.  The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits  future hair growth. 

There is minimal discomfort associated with the  process, and is often compared to a light snapping sensation on the  surface of the skin.

The result is permanently less hair growth or none at all. 

The time it takes to complete treatments depends on the patient  and size of the area being treated. Because laser hair removal is  non-invasive, there is no required downtime afterwards.  However, you  should protect the treated area from the sun by applying sunscreen and  avoiding exposure.  Multiple treatments are suggested in order to achieve optimal results, but that can be assessed as you progress.

With SharpLight laser hair removal treatment, you should  expect no downtime or discomfort. 

The treated skin may feel sensitive, warm and  slightly irritated but these mild side effects are quite common and will be gone within 24 hours of your treatment. 

Ensure the treated skin stays out of direct sunlight and avoid procedures such as microdermabrasion,  exfoliating or the use of harsh products that may irritate the area. 

Clients can expect hair growth will decrease substantially within the four week span  of their approximately six treatments. 

During this time you can shave your hair, but do not pluck, wax or tweeze your hair as the hair follicle is the most important part in this clinical procedure. 

With each  session, you will notice finer, weaker and less hair in the treated area . 

• The laser energy works exactly where you want it to — directly on the hair follicles — without damaging the skin in the region.
• Removing hair from a small treatment area, such as the upper lip,  only takes a few minutes. Larger treatment areas such as the back can be  treated in 20 to 30 minutes.
• While it takes several sessions to fully achieve your desired  outcome, you will enjoy permanent results. Once the hair is eliminated,  it will never grow back.
• Don’t worry about having to wax, shave, or tweeze anymore. shaving  or waxing. Save time in your daily routine and avoid painful skin  irritations and ingrown hairs.

Generally hair on the face and neck is treated in 4-6 week cycles. Hair below the neck is treated in 6-8 week cycles.
