Lougheed Explains Everything You Can Laser Off - Why Hair Removal is a Great Investment

At Lougheed Laser Centre, we've encountered all types of hair, be it dark, thin, long, or short.  

Laser hair removal has proven to be a popular choice among clients as it addresses a common issue.  

In this brief overview, we'll explore what laser hair removal is, the areas where hair can be removed, and why it's worth considering as a long-term solution. Let's begin with the fundamentals. 

What is Laser Hair Removal: 

Laser hair removal is a medical treatment that utilizes a focused beam of light to eliminate undesirable hair. In more technical terms, a laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting the light energy into heat. This heat damages the hair follicles responsible for producing hair, leading to a slowdown in future hair growth. 

Laser hair removal is a method to reduce excessive hair growth in areas such as the legs, underarms, upper lip, chin, and bikini line. While other body parts can be treated, the eyelid region, surrounding areas, and skin with tattoos are usually not eligible for this treatment. 

Below is a diagram that highlights the areas we can and can’t remove hair via laser. 

Now that we have gotten through the basics, let us provide you with some answers for frequently asked questions and concerns. 

1. It’s too expensive  
2. It doesn’t last  
3. I don’t have the time 

It’s Too Expensive 

Many people believe that laser hair removal is costly. What they don’t realize is that laser hair removal can be a more economical option compared to other hair removal techniques.  

 Additionally, laser hair removal provides several other advantages apart from saving money, such as silky-smooth skin, a reduced chance of developing ingrown hairs, and a substantial decrease in the time and effort required for hair removal. 

Here is a general comparison of the cost of laser hair removal to other hair removal methods for the average person. As you can observe, over a few years the cost of maintenance decreases for laser removal as the other two skin removal methods increase. 

Prices for laser hair removal vary by clinic, treatment, and body area, but this gives a general idea of the long-term investment involved. 

It Doesn’t Last  

Some clients have concerns that their investment in laser hair removal won’t last. The lasting effects vary and depend on factors such as the number of sessions, the body part treated, and the individual's hair characteristics. However, many people experience long-lasting results. 

The majority of patients have hair-free skin for months or even years after laser treatment. If some hair does regrow, it is often finer and less noticeable. To preserve these results, additional laser treatments may be necessary. 

I Don't Have the Time 

Sessions for removal range depending on the size and area being treated. The majority will take 60 minutes or less.  

Looking at the table you can see around 7-12 sessions are needed at the beginning of your hair removal journey. Once you have achieved full hair removal, little to no maintenance is needed moving forward.   

Now that you have a better understanding of all thing's laser hair removal, it's time to go ahead with the booking process!
