Founder of Advanced Laser Clinic, a 2021 ThreeBestRated® award-winning Med Spa in Ottawa, to explains about laser hair removal

Almost all women and men would have considered getting a laser hair removal treatment at one point or would have plans to get one in the future. Thanks to the advancement of technology, the treatment that once seemed like a faraway dream for most people has now become more common and affordable.

Despite its popularity, people still don’t fully know about laser hair removal. Like does it permanently remove your hair? What about the side effects? Is it safe?

That is why ThreeBestRated® reached out to Anjalia Vaid, founder of Advanced Laser Clinic, a ThreeBestRated® award-winning Med Spa in Ottawa, to explain the things everyone should know before getting a laser hair removal.

1. Laser Hair Removal is an easy and safe option to remove hair. The procedure is safe when performed by skilled professionals and with the proper equipment.

2. The laser emits light energy that specifically targets the hair follicle and eliminates it. There is minimal discomfort as our lasers have DCD cooling, to cool the skin and make it comfortable. The feeling can be described as a rubber band slapping the skin.  

3. The laser procedure will permanently reduce the amount of hair growth. Some areas of the body experience permanent removal of hair, while other areas may need some maintenance from time to time.

4. If you are getting ready for your first laser hair removal treatment, you will have to stop waxing or plucking three weeks prior to your appointment. And make sure to apply a lot of sunscreen throughout the treatment to avoid any hypersensitivity to the skin.

5. We have several lasers, which is very important. If you have lighter skin, you will be on one wavelength, and if you have darker skin, you will need to be on a certain laser with a specific wavelength, we have been specializing in dark skin since the very beginning.  Having multiple lasers is important in allowing us to treat every skin type safely and aggressively. 

6. Since the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, if your hair is light in colour, it will be more difficult for the laser to detect the pigment and remove it. So, light blond and grey hair cannot be treated.
