Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment when performed by trained professionals. At CosMedics Edmonton, we use advanced laser technology designed to minimize discomfort while safely targeting unwanted hair with little to no downtime.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, damaging it and reducing future hair growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to target follicles during their active growth phase.
Does laser hair removal work on all skin and hair types?
Our advanced laser systems can safely treat a wide range of skin tones. The best results are typically seen on darker hair, as the laser targets pigment. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and hair type to determine the best treatment plan for you.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Modern laser technology includes cooling features to improve comfort, and treatments are generally well tolerated.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require 4–7 treatments for optimal hair reduction, although the exact number varies based on the treatment area, hair colour, skin type, and individual hair growth patterns. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help maintain long-term results.
What should I do before my appointment?
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for at least 4 weeks beforehand, as the hair follicle must be present for the laser to be effective. Limit sun exposure and avoid self-tanners before treatment.
What should I expect after treatment?
You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours after your appointment, similar to a slight sunburn. Hair will gradually shed over the following 1–3 weeks. Your provider will review personalized aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
