What Is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a procedure that works by sending a powerful beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles. The Laser disables or destroys the root, but does not harm the surrounding skin. This procedure can zap thousands of hair follicles in a mere second and can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, back, shoulders, chest, nipples and bikini line.
At the Thunder Bay Laser Clinic, we use the CoolGlide Laser System, considered the best laser hair removal system on the market for all skin tones, from light to dark, including tanned patients. Their unique design, longer wavelength, and innovative cooling design allow extremely effective, safe and permanent results.
Laser Hair Removal is preferred over other forms of hair removal, such as waxing, shaving and electrolysis, as 1) the hair will take a far longer amount of time to grow back, 2) there is considerably less pain and 3) there is less chance of ingrown hairs. Electrolysis works by removing individual hairs one by one, whereas Laser Hair Removal removes thousands in the same amount of time.
Some patients have enjoyed being hair-free for many years.
