Here's what to expect during your Toronto Cosmetic Clinic laser hair removal appointment.
How Laser Hair Removal at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic is Performed
At the beginning of the laser hair removal procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, the unwanted hair to be removed should be shaved. In most cases this should be done at home the day before the procedure. Once that is completed, the area will be cleaned and dried. To protect both the technician's and your eyes, special eye protection is worn for the duration of the laser hair removal procedure.
Depending on the area, the thickness of the hair, your skin and hair colour, your technician at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic will adjust the laser hair removal device so that it is set appropriately for you. They may adjust the power of the laser or its frequency. The size of the area exposed to a single pulse of light will also be adjusted for optimum effectiveness and safety. A cooling window is attached to the laser device to protect the skin, however a gel can also be applied topically for additional protection.
Prior to performing the full treatment, a couple of test spots might be done. The test spots will be observed by your technician to ensure that the laser is set correctly and that your skin does not react negatively to the laser hair removal treatment.
It is typical that following the laser hair removal procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, ice and cooling lotions or creams are applied to the area targeted by the laser to soothe the skin. This will help relieve any discomfort felt. As skin will be more sensitive to light, a soothing cream will most likely contain sunscreen.
A successive laser hair removal procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic can be scheduled 4-6 weeks later, if further unwanted hair growth appears. Should you wish to remove unwanted hair in the treated areas before the next laser hair removal procedure, only shaving is permitted.
At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, our cosmetic surgeons always recommend that before a patient undergoes any type of procedure it is thoroughly researched. That way, the body and mind are prepared for the procedure. Call 416-221-5554 to find out more about Laser Hair Removal in Toronto.
