Laser Hair Removal
About This Treatment
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles at the root, providing long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair growth. The laser selectively heats melanin in the hair shaft while leaving surrounding skin unharmed, making it safe and effective for most body areas including the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, and back. Multiple sessions are needed because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. Most clients achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction after a full course of treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does laser hair removal work and is it permanent?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated laser light energy to target melanin in the hair follicle, heating and destroying it at the root to prevent future growth. The laser selectively targets dark hair while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Most clients achieve 80 to 90 percent permanent laser hair reduction after a full course of six to eight laser sessions at our Coquitlam, BC laser clinic. Some fine or light hairs may remain, but they are typically much finer and less noticeable.
How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?
Most clients need six to eight laser hair removal sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart for optimal permanent laser hair reduction. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase. Only about 20 percent of hair follicles are in this phase at any given time. Our Coquitlam laser clinic will create a personalized laser hair removal schedule based on the treatment area and your individual hair growth cycle.
What areas of the body can laser hair removal treat?
Laser hair removal can safely and effectively treat virtually any area of the body where unwanted hair grows. Popular laser treatment areas at our Coquitlam, BC laser clinic include the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, bikini line and Brazilian, full legs, arms, back, chest, and abdomen. The laser technology we use can treat both small precision areas and large body areas quickly and efficiently.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most clients describe laser hair removal as feeling like a quick rubber band snap against the skin. Discomfort varies by treatment area, with more sensitive areas like the bikini line feeling slightly more intense than areas like the legs or arms. Our Coquitlam laser clinic uses cooling technology during the laser treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients find the sensation very tolerable and much less painful than waxing.
How much does laser hair removal cost in Coquitlam, BC?
The cost of laser hair removal at our Coquitlam, BC laser clinic depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of laser sessions required. Small areas like the upper lip require fewer laser pulses and cost less, while larger areas like full legs or back require more time. We offer competitive laser hair removal pricing with package discounts for a full course of laser treatments. Contact us for a free laser consultation and personalized quote.
