Yes, all skin types are treatable at Mahaba Wellness Services Inc as we only use medical grade lasers with the most advanced technologies that allows us to do this safely and effectively.
By absorbing the laser’s light energy into the pigment of the hair shaft, the temperature of the hair follicle is raised to a point where the cells that are responsible for hair re-growth are destroyed, and therefore lose their ability to grow hair.
Most patients have satisfactory hair reduction or loss after 3-7 appointments.
We recommend you leave a minimum of 4-8 weeks between your treatment times initially; this depends on the area you are treating and your hair cycle. As the number of growing hairs begin to reduce, we may space your treatments out further to ensure we always catch the hair in the correct stage of growth the anagen stage.
Because laser hair removal is such an advanced technology, people automatically assume that it must be expensive. However due to the popularity of the procedure it has been made accessible to everyone on any budget! If you were to compare it to the cost of regular waxing for the rest of your life, thousands of dollars can be saved!
The complete opposite actually! Ingrown hairs are a common annoyance after shaving and waxing, but not after laser hair removal. By destroying the hair follicle, laser hair removal significantly reduces the chances of getting ingrown hairs.
Laser Hair Removal is no more painful than waxing. In fact most clients say that waxing is more painful as it pulls at the skin. Clients have described Laser Hair Removal as mildly uncomfortable and not unlike “the flick of an elastic band” which is a common description used. For those who find the procedure uncomfortable, a topical anesthetic is available.
