What is Laser Hair Removal?
Now, exclusively at The First Glance, we offer two of the latest laser hair removal systems that reduces unwanted facial and body hair from all skin types and all skin tones by 75-95%.
Laser Hair Removal is a quick, convenient, and safe way to remove unwanted hair permanently. You can treat large areas with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Talk about freedom! You’ll no longer have to deal with shaving, tweezing, waxing, bleaching, or skin irritations due to ingrown hairs. Your unwanted hair doesn’t stand a chance with our high tech hair removal systems.
The laser emits light energy absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, destroying them and preventing further growth. The result is a long-term and in some cases, a permanent reduction in hair growth in the treatment area.
Your treatment will take place with a Certified Laser Technician in a private treatment room at our award-winning Aesthetic Clinic & Surgery Centre.
Key Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
- Permanent Hair Reduction: One of the main benefits of Laser Hair Removal is that it can provide permanent hair reduction in the treatment area. This means that after a few laser treatments, the hair in the treatment area will be much less dense than it was before. This can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on shaving, tweezing, and waxing.
- Safe and Effective: Laser Hair Removal is a very safe and effective way to remove unwanted facial and body hair. The laser used is specifically designed to target the pigment in the hair follicles, so it does not damage the surrounding skin. It also has a very low risk of side effects or complications.
- Fast and Convenient: Laser Hair Removal treatments are quick and convenient. Most treatments take 10-20 minutes.
- Cost-Effective: Laser Hair Removal is a cost-effective way to remove unwanted facial and body hair. Depending on the size of your treatment area, you may be able to get several treatments for the price of one waxing session.
- Versatile: Laser Hair Removal can be used to treat a variety of areas, including the legs, arms, back, chest, and face. It is also suitable for people of all skin types.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Hair grows in a continuous cycle that includes three distinct phases:
- Active Growth Phase:Â Â 90% of the time, hair is in the active growth phase. Laser hair removal is most effective during this time.
- Mature Phase: Hair has stopped growing. Â
- Dormant Phase:Â The follicle is preparing to shed (exfoliation) and cycles back to the active growth phase.
Laser Hair Removal treatments work by disabling the hair that is in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter the active growth phase at different times, multiple sessions are required to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.
Number of TreatmentsÂ
Most areas need 6-8 treatments for optimal results. Treatments are typically booked every 4 weeks for the face, and 8 weeks for treatments on the body. The number of treatments is determined by multiple factors – hair thickness, the area treated, and your hair’s growth cycle.
Laser Hair Removal treatments work best when done consecutively. At the time of your consultation, your Certified Laser Technician will create a custom treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
Two Types Of Laser Hair Removal Systems
Vectus
The Vectus diode laser emits laser energy that targets the hair follicle causing permanent damage. This highly effective laser comes with 2 different hand pieces that allow the technician to treat a wide variety of areas.
Depending on the area, the treatments are anywhere from 4-8 weeks apart for best results. Most patients require anywhere from 6-8 treatments. This is because there are different cycles of hair growth, and we need to specifically target one phase. Your technician will go over a treatment plan for you.
Vectus hair removal treats medium brown to black hair. Hair that is blonde, red, white, or grey cannot be treated with laser hair removal.
The treatment itself is described as a prickling sensation and can be uncomfortable for some people. Most patients however have a high satisfaction rate.
Fotona
