Laser hair removal is a medical-grade treatment that uses targeted light energy to reduce and remove unwanted hair. At Sol Skin Spa, we use state-of-the-art technology to deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting results in a luxury setting—trusted across Mississauga (Port Credit, Streetsville, Lakeshore and Cawthra), Burlington, and Oakville.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
A specialized laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair. The light energy converts to heat, which damages the hair follicle at the root. This inhibits future hair growth, making it an excellent solution for clients seeking long-term hair reduction.
Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal targets the source of the hair and can treat large areas quickly, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. That’s why it’s one of our top-requested hair removal services in Mississauga and Burlington.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Laser hair removal is ideal for:
- Arms
- Underarms
- Legs
- Back
- Chest & Abdomen
- Bikini Area
It’s safe for almost every area—except the eyelids or tattooed skin.
Who Is It Best For?
Laser hair removal works best on clients with dark hair and light skin, but new technology now allows us to treat all skin types safely. While it may not be as effective on light-colored hair (blonde, red, gray), ongoing advancements are closing the gap. At Sol Skin Spa, we customize your plan to your skin tone and goals—whether you visit us from Oakville, Port Credit, or Streetsville.
What You Can Expect During Treatment
Most clients need 4–8 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective during the active growth stage. Maintenance treatments may be required for long-term results.
During each session:
- You’ll wear protective eyewear
- The technician may apply a cooling gel or use a laser with a cooling tip
- You’ll feel a light snap—like a rubber band
Sessions range from 10 minutes for small areas to over an hour for full-body treatments.
Aftercare & Results
After your session, you may notice some redness or swelling, which usually subsides within hours. Use ice packs or a cool compress if needed. We also recommend:
- Avoiding sun exposure for 1–2 weeks
- Applying SPF30 daily
- Skipping the gym or heat-based skincare for 24 hours
Hair will shed gradually over days or weeks. What looks like new growth is often the shedding process in action. Over time, regrowth becomes finer, lighter, and less dense.
Risks & Safety
At Sol Skin Spa, all treatments are performed by certified technicians using medical-grade equipment. Side effects are rare but can include:
- Temporary redness or irritation
- Skin lightening/darkening (especially with sun exposure)
We always conduct a full pre-treatment consultation to ensure your safety and customize your care plan—just one of the many reasons we’re trusted as a top Burlington medical spa and Oakville medical aesthetics clinic.
