Is it Permanent?

A question is often asked of us. Is Laser Hair Removal truly permanent?

The answer: 

Permanent Hair Removal is only made possible by being able to heat hair to a very high temperature with the laser. This results in the death of the cells that produce the hair, so no further hair can grow.

Only very powerful lasers are capable of heating the hair to a high enough temperature to achieve genuine permanent removal and this means that there a few things you must be aware of.


A laser converts the energy in electricity to high power light, of a single wavelength. In Laser Hair Removal we use the properties of specific wavelength and high power, to great advantage. Non laser light machines such as the IPL systems do not have these properties which make lasers so useful.


The laser light also heats the skin and this results in a sharp hot sensation similar to electrolysis.

This heating of the skin may produce some redness and a little swelling at the time of treatment. The next day there may be some fine superficial brown scaling on the area treated but this will go in under two weeks. Rarely the skin will react by going a little darker or perhaps a little lighter after the scale comes away. This can take up to three months or in some cases longer before the skin returns to its normal color.

Our next blog will contain additional information which you may find useful.

  2. Dear Ms Meade,

    We have over the past 12 years in Singapore, successfully treated countless clients / patients whom had expressed similar sentiments about their facial hair. We have now set up operations in Markham and only Specialize in permanent laser hair removal. Nothing Else!

    Skill, experience and powerful lasers are the three key components in making your choices. But before any of this, it must be ascertained by the service provider, whom ever it is that you entrust with this delicate task, whether you are suitable candidate for laser hair removal. Color of hair, density, color of skin and thickness, existing medical conditions all play an important part.

    Please consider making an appointment with us for your non obligatory consultation where we may assess your suitability for treatment and provide you with specific details on the nature of our service enabling you to make an informed decision moving forward.

    We look forward to welcoming you to our centre.

    Sincerely
