Laser Hair Removal

At Velour Laser, our team of professionally-trained Medical Aestheticians and Technicians are certified in the use of medical-grade, FDA, and Health Canada-approved laser hair removal equipment. While methods such as waxing, plucking, and shaving offer only temporary solutions, laser hair removal will help you achieve more permanent results without the discomfort of side effects such as ingrown hairs and skin irritation!

How does the treatment work?

Laser hair removal uses light energy to target the hair follicle. The laser heats and damages the follicle to reduce future hair growth, while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to treat hair at different stages of growth. Over time, hair grows back finer, lighter, and less frequently, leading to long-term hair reduction.

What Do We Use?

At our clinic, we use the Cynosure Elite iQ - an advanced, professional-grade laser platform for laser hair removal and other aesthetic treatments. This system is designed to deliver safe, effective, and customized hair reduction results for a wide range of skin tones and hair types.

Why Elite iq?

The Elite iQ combines two powerful laser wavelengths - 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG — giving us flexibility to treat both lighter and darker skin tones with precision. 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength: Excellent for lighter skin tones and effective at targeting melanin in hair follicles. 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength: Safer for darker skin tones and deeper hair follicles, expanding treatment options for more clients. Customized & Safer Treatments Elite iQ includes Skintel® Melanin Reader™, the first FDA-cleared device of its kind. It measures your skin’s melanin content before treatment, helping us choose the safest and most effective settings for your individual skin type.

Laser Hair Removal:

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions are required for permanent hair reduction?

For best long-term results, we recommend a minimum of 9 sessions.

Body: every 6 weeks

Face: every 4 weeks

Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to effectively target all follicles. Most clients see a 70%–95% reduction in hair growth by the end of their treatment series.

Hormonal factors (such as PCOS or imbalances) can affect results, and some clients may require maintenance sessions.

Does laser hair removal work on all skin types?

Yes, our advanced laser technology is safe and effective for all skin types. We use two specialized wavelengths: Alexandrite for lighter skin tones and Nd:YAG for darker skin tones, allowing us to customize treatments for every client.

This ensures optimal results while keeping treatments safe and comfortable across all skin types.

How old do I have to be to get laser hair removal treatment?

You have to be 18 years old but you can start at 16 with a parent or guardian’s consent.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Yes, but this varies between clients. New follicles can always develop due to hormonal changes or shifts in weight. However, we recommend touch ups every 6-12 months for most clients.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

You may feel a slight pinch or gentle heat depending on the thickness of your hair but this just means the laser is working properly! We use a zimmer which blows cold air on the skin during the whole treatment – allowing it to be very comfortable.

When doesn't laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works best on dark, coarse hair. It is not effective on very light hair types such as gray, white, blonde, or red hair, as these hairs lack enough pigment for the laser to target.

It is also less effective on very fine, light hairs (often called peach fuzz or vellus hair) since they do not absorb enough energy to be permanently reduced.

During your consultation, we assess your hair type to ensure you’re a good candidate and create the safest, most effective treatment plan for you.

Is there any downtime?

There is little to no downtime after laser hair removal. Most clients experience mild redness, erythema or warmth in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours.

You can return to normal activities the same day, though we recommend avoiding excessive heat (such as saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and intense workouts) for 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.

Who is not a candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, have active skin infections, open wounds, or sunburn in the treatment area, or are using certain photosensitizing medications (such as some acne or prescription medications).

When will I see results?

Most clients notice a reduction in hair growth after the first 1–2 sessions, with hair growing back finer and slower. Results continue to improve with each treatment as more follicles are targeted during their growth cycle.

Optimal, long-term reduction is typically achieved after completing the full recommended series of sessions.

Who performs the laser treatments?

All laser hair removal treatments at Velour Laser are performed by trained and experienced laser technicians, using advanced medical-grade laser technology. Our team is fully certified and specializes in safe, customized treatments for all skin types.
