To provide the best laser hair removal in Montreal, we use the newest technology. Laser hair removal treatments work by sending pulses of light to the root of the hair follicle. This causes the hair to fall out at the source, and also minimizes the chances of that particular hair regrowing. Because each hair grows at a different rate, multiple treatments are required to ensure that each hair is eliminated. To learn more about laser, read our blog post here.

Each of us has unique skin; therefore, we require precise and differentiated services to remove unwanted hair. Our system delivers flexible options, without compromising on quality or efficacy. As a dual wavelength laser system, our advanced technology can use one or both of the Alexandrite or Yag lasers to achieve desired results on all skin types. Experts in the field use a numerical system to determine which skin type they're working with: the scale ranges from 1-6, with 1 being the lightest skin tone and 6 being the most pigmented. For safety reasons, certain lasers should not be used on the 3 darkest skin tones, as this can cause burns or scarring. Choosing a professional clinic with experience in laser hair removal for all skin types is paramount when deciding on a laser hair removal procedure. Let's start with the Alexandrite laser, which utilizes an Alexandrite crystal to power safe, effective laser technology to stop the hair growth cycle. This laser targets hair follicles with light pulses, causing hair follicles to fall out and minimizing regrowth. After about 6-8 treatments, patients will see a drastic reduction in the amount of unwanted hair! It's safe to use this laser with skin pigment types 1-3. As it sends pulses of light to the root of each hair, the Alexandrite laser system uses a cooling cryogen gas, eliminating the need for messy creams or gels.The alternative is called a Yag laser: this is the leading technology for use on medium to dark skin types, or numbers 4-6 on the scale. Because of a higher melanin concentration in darker skin, some basic lasers can cause hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or even burns on darker skin. The pros at CHIC Laser Centre are well equipped to assess your unique skin and hair type prior to your laser session. The technology in this laser works much the same as the Alexandrite laser, though the wavelengths are able to penetrate the skin a bit deeper, allowing it to successfully bypass the skin's pigmentation to get to the root of each hair follicle.Both of these lasers are considered industry leaders in safety, effectiveness and performance when administered by a trained professional. When working with either laser, the technician will adjust the settings according to your unique skin type, allowing for the safest, most permanent removal of hair without damaging the skin. Selecting a clinic with outstanding professionalism and safety standards is of the utmost importance when considering laser permenant hair removal.
