Effective and Gentle Laser Hair Removal Services in North Bay & Sturgeon Falls

We at Luxurious Laser and Cosmetics pride ourselves on providing best in class technology, which is why we use the LightSheer Diode XC laser.  The Lightsheer Diode laser is specifically designed and has the sole purpose of removing unwanted hair and has become the "Gold Standard" for hair removal from its unsurpassed clinically documented sucess.  This is a class IV medical device, not to be confused with a class II medical device known as Pulsed Dye, IPL, or BBL that uses radio frequency and is not specialized for hair removal.  This devicealso has an advanced Sapphire ChillTip handpiece which provides continuous contact cooling of the epidermis, which ensures patient safety and comfort.  Treatment can be done on all skin types (I-VI), as well as tanned skin.

How Does it work?

During your treatment, the laser emittes light which is then absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles.  The laser will pulse for a fraction of a second, which will be long enough to heat the hair.  This will impede the follicle's ability to regrow.  This is why laser cannot work on white or blonde hairs as there is no pigment in the hair.

How long does a session last?

It all depends on the area, can be a few min for small areas, whereas a full body treatment can be anywhere from 1.5-2 hours.

How often can I do treatments?

You can do treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.

Is it painful?

Most people do not find it painful, however everyone is different.  Waxing is more painfull then laser hair removal.

What preparation is needed for my appointment?
