At drs skincare in Hamilton, Ontario, Dr. Rahul Shukla and his team specialize in providing advanced laser hair removal treatments. We assist patients in attaining silky, hair-free skin by utilizing cutting-edge technology for enduring results.

What are the indications for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is effective for a variety of conditions and purposes, including:

• Hirsutism and Hypertrichosis: Excessive or abnormal hair growth.
• Aesthetic Purposes: Hair-free skin that is smooth for a polished appearance.
• Medical Conditions: Treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae, pilonidal sinus, and acne keloidalis nuchae.

What are the Treatment Details?

• Recovery Time: 1 to 3 days.
• Number of Treatments: Typically, 2 to 12 sessions are recommended.*
• Best Results Seen: typically after completing a series of treatments

How do I prepare for laser hair removal at drs skincare?

Proper preparation ensures safe and effective treatment. Follow these steps:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning for 2-4 weeks before treatment. Always use SPF 30+ sunscreen if outdoors.
• Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the targeted area 1-2 days before your appointment. This allows the laser to focus on the hair follicle.
• Avoid Plucking or Waxing: Stop plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams at least 4 weeks before your session. The laser needs the hair follicle intact to work effectively.
• Discontinue Certain Products: Avoid skincare products containing retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or bleaching agents for at least one week before treatment.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and improve healing post-treatment.

What Should I Expect After Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal requires little to no downtime.

• Common Reactions: Mild redness or swelling, typically subsiding within 1 to 3 days.
• Post-Treatment Care: Avoid harsh chemicals and follow the aftercare guidelines provided by our team to ensure optimal results.

When to Contact Us

If you experience any of the following symptoms, reach out to us immediately:

• Excessive redness or swelling that does not improve within 48 hours.
• Blistering, severe pain, or signs of infection (e.g., pus, fever).
• Persistent discomfort that interferes with your daily activities.

In some cases, temporary folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles) may occur. If this happens, our team can prescribe medication to manage it effectively.
Our priority is your safety and comfort, so do not hesitate to contact drs skincare for guidance or further evaluation.

How many laser hair removal treatment sessions are needed for full hair removal?

Dr. Shukla and his team at our office often recommend a treatment series to get the best possible results. Each treatment results in fewer and fewer hair follicles in the area. Patients seeking a reduction in hair thickness need fewer treatments than patients who want complete and permanent removal of unwanted hair.
