Diabetes and Medical Laser Hair Removal.

Hairaway Canada always assesses the clinical suitability of all its prospects at the time of initial consultation.  Diabetes is not an uncommon medical condition and therefore as professional medical laser hair removal specialists, it important to know whether our prospects have diabetes so we are able to administer to and provide them with effective and safe treatment. 

People suffering from diabetes need to control their blood sugar levels by balancing the amount of sugar in their diet with insulin injections. Diabetics undergoing long treatments, such as legs,  may go past a necessary meal time without realising it. If a diabetic client starts to feel or behave strange, we provide some glucose powder mixed with water or Glygocen syrup. Diabetics can become irrational when very hypoglycaemic. The problem may be that the blood sugar is high, diabetics always know the difference, but when there is doubt we always provide glucose.  Making blood sugar higher is much less dangerous than not treating a very low blood sugar. 

Diabetics are more sensitive to the discomfort associated with medical laser hair removal due to sensitive nerves and tissues. They also respond more vigorously and if treated by inexperienced hands or inferior technology more commonly used at beauty salons and non specialist centres or clinics can blister due to damage of their nerve endings. Diabetics are also more prone to infections.

Hairaway Canada assesses the clinical suitability of all its prospects at the initial consultation at its medical laser hair removal clinic in Unionville, Markham and if it is determined that the prospect is unsuited for medical laser hair removal and we feel we would be unable to provide a safe and effective treatment we will not offer treatment.
