Condition: Excess Hair

Excess hair can be genetic, hormonal, or age-related. Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction by targeting hair follicles at the root.

Types Of Excess Hair

Coarse hair is thicker and may require more treatments than fine hair.

Hair growth can be influenced by hormones or inherited traits.

Hair color affects how easily it responds to laser removal.

Hair can appear in small spots or across larger areas of the body.

Common Causes Behind Excess Hair

The presence of excess hair can result from a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Differences in hair thickness, color, and growth patterns can influence how noticeable or persistent hair is. Key contributing factors include:

Excess hair can run in families due to inherited traits.

Hormonal changes can trigger increased hair growth in certain areas.

Hair patterns can change naturally as the body ages.

Different ethnic backgrounds can influence hair density and growth.

Signs of Excess Hair

Yes! Our lasers are authorized by Health Canada and have an excellent safety profile. Lasers work by selectively targeting dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Due to advances in technology, even dark-skinned patients prone to hyperpigmentation can be safely treated. Laser treatment does not increase your risk of diseases such as skin cancer. All treatments are medically directed by our in-house physicians, and our expert aesthetic technicians boast a safety record spanning years and even decades.

The sensations felt during laser hair removal treatment are described as little pinches or like snapping a rubber band against your skin. While it may be slightly uncomfortable, most patients say that this is far less painful than waxing in more sensitive areas of the body, such as the bikini line.

There are three hair growth cycles, and laser treatments must be scheduled to catch the growth phase, which occurs every 4–6 weeks. Following your consultation with one of EverYoung’s laser clinicians, a treatment plan will be put in place specifically for the density of the hair being treated. Typically, 6–10 treatments are required to target active hair follicles to achieve the best results and give you the hair loss you desire.

Laser treatment is not detrimental to your health or skin. Side effects are minimal but may include skin irritation, slight redness, or swelling that resembles a mild sunburn and typically subsides within 24 hours. After the side effects subside, you will be left with the desired results. Your skin will be smooth and free of any red spots.

All areas of the face and body (except the eye area) may be treated with laser hair removal. Even the most sensitive areas of the skin, including the bikini line, respond well to treatment with no pain or residual effects. Your laser clinician will perform laser hair removal on safe areas of the body.

It depends on the area of the skin being treated and the amount of hair that we need to remove. Please call us today to get more accurate pricing.

During laser hair removal, expect a sensation akin to a rubber band snap, redness, and mild swelling in the treated area, with gradual reduction in hair growth over subsequent sessions.

It’s uncommon for more hair to grow back after laser hair removal; however, perceived regrowth may be temporary shedding of treated hair before a more prolonged reduction in hair growth occurs, and individual responses can vary. Consult with the provider if concerned about unexpected outcomes.

After laser hair removal, maintain results by avoiding sun exposure, using sunscreen, avoiding plucking or waxing, and scheduling follow-up sessions as recommended by your provider.

Attempting laser hair removal without shaving beforehand can result in reduced treatment effectiveness, discomfort, and potential surface burning due to the laser energy targeting longer hair.

White, gray, or very light blonde hair lacks sufficient pigment for laser hair removal to be effective, as the laser targets melanin in the hair follicles, making it less suitable for individuals with lighter hair colors.

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, but results can vary; some experience extended periods of hair-free skin, while others may need occasional maintenance sessions to manage regrowth.

The duration of hair removal after laser treatments varies, with many individuals experiencing a significant reduction in hair growth that can last for several months to years, and some may require occasional maintenance sessions to manage regrowth.

Hair typically takes 1 to 3 weeks to fall out after laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is designed to reduce hair growth, but it may not permanently eliminate all hair, and some regrowth may occur over time.

It is generally recommended to wait at least 5 days before shaving after laser hair removal to allow the treated hair to fall out naturally.

Yes, you can shave between laser hair removal sessions, but it’s important to follow the specific guidelines provided by your practitioner regarding timing and methods for optimal results.

The greatest risk from lasers is potential eye damage, as exposure to certain laser wavelengths can cause injury to the eyes, including permanent damage to the retina. Eye protection measures are crucial when working with lasers.

You can assess the effectiveness of laser hair removal by observing a reduction in hair growth, finer and lighter regrowth, and smoother skin over the course of multiple sessions; however, individual responses may vary, and consultation with a professional is recommended to track progress.
