The timeslots are long enough, to accommodate each patient’s tolerances. So they should not have to feel like they are being rushed through the treatment. Or proceeding when they are not 100% comfortable.
Laser Hair Removal in Edmonton | Understanding How Permanent Hair Removal Works
For people who have been trying to eliminate unwanted hair, laser hair removal in Edmonton. Can seem too good to be true. Especially if they already tried other methods. That were supposed to be permanent as well.
However, it is not too good to be true. And there is science to backup why. How laser hair removal in Edmonton works. Is by using a laser called an intense pulse light, or IPL for short.
This laser is designed to target pigmentation in the layers of skin. As the laser shines into the layers of skin. It will find the hair follicles. By the pigmentation in the cells of the root of the hair.
When the laser finds the pigmentation. It will literally explode of the cells. Destroying the hair, and the hair follicle on contact. It will then take the body a long time. To be able to regrow a destroyed hair.
Much longer than the amount of time that it takes the body. To regrow hair that has been pulled out by the route. And shaving, simply cuts the hair off. And does not actually impact the root of the hair at all.
This is why laser hair removal in Edmonton. Is a much better alternative. To waxing, shaving and even plucking. While people will need more than one treatment. In order to generate permanent results.
People can typically expect results. After three, two eight treatments. Depending on where on the body they have unwanted hair. The more vascular the area is. Meaning the more blood vessels in the area.

The more stubborn the body will be at trying to regrow hair. Which is good news for people who want to get rid of hair in their underarms. And even people who want to get rid of their leg hair.
That will have to undergo anywhere between 6 to 8 treatments. That is still a much better scenario. Then having to shave their legs every other day. Or go to a salon once a month.
In order to have the hair ripped out by the roots. But they need to remember, before they start their first laser hair removal in Edmonton treatment. Is to stop plucking and waxing immediately.
Since the laser actually targets the hair route. If the route has already been pulled out through waxing or plucking. Then the treatment will be less effective than it could be, if all hair roots were present
Something else that people should keep in mind. Is that twenty-four hours before their first treatment. They need to shave area. In order to get the best results. But not shave any sooner than that.
Otherwise, they might risk making their skin sensitive. Which could make the laser treatment more uncomfortable. On their razor burned skin for example.
