Laser Hair Removal

Unwanted hair can be frustrating, and traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are often time-consuming, painful, and temporary. If you’re looking for a long-term solution, laser hair removal is the answer!

At Balwin Aesthetics in Edmonton, we offer advanced laser hair removal that provides smooth, hair-free skin with lasting results. But how does it work, and is it right for you? Let’s dive in!

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal uses highly concentrated light energy to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The laser’s heat damages the follicle, slowing or completely stopping future hair growth.

Key Benefits:

• Permanent hair reduction with long-lasting results
• Minimal discomfort – no more razor bumps or painful waxing
• Precision & effectiveness – targets hair follicles without harming surrounding skin
• Safe for all skin types – advanced lasers for various skin tones
• Quick & convenient – sessions take just 15-45 minutes, depending on the area

Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions (usually 6-8) are needed for optimal results. Over time, treated hair becomes finer, lighter, and eventually stops growing.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To get the best results, follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before your session
• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment
• Do not wax, pluck, or thread at least four weeks before treatment (the laser needs active follicles to target)
• Avoid skincare products with retinoids or acids on the treatment area

What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment

1. Consultation – Our certified laser technician will assess your skin and hair type.
2. Preparation – laser by Splendor X which is dual frequency laser. Highly efficient. No messy gels. Virtually painless & safe for all skin types.
3. Treatment – The laser is adjusted to your needs, and pulses of high-energy light are delivered to the treatment area.
4. Sensation – You may feel a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band.
5. Duration – Sessions last 15-45 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Post-Treatment Care: How to Maximize Your Results

• Apply aloe vera or cooling gel to reduce redness.
• Use SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure.
• Skip hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24-48 hours.
• Exfoliate gently after a few days to prevent ingrown hairs.

Following these steps ensures a smooth healing process and enhances your long-term results.

Are There Any Risks?

Laser hair removal is safe and effective, but some people may experience:

• Temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity (subsides within hours)
• Mild skin irritation or dryness (rare cases)
• Hyperpigmentation or lightening of the skin if aftercare isn’t followed properly

Choosing an experienced provider like Balwin Aesthetics minimizes risks and ensures the best results.
