The fundamental rule of laser physics is that the beam targets pigment.

• Ideal Candidates: Most people with brown or black hair, on a wide range of skin tones, tend to see the best results.

• Lighter Hair Shades: White, grey, very light blonde, or red hair can be more unpredictable. Results may vary, and effectiveness depends on individual hair characteristics. If you’re unsure, we recommend booking a free consultation—we’ll assess your hair in person and let you know honestly what kind of results you can expect and whether treatment is likely to work for you.

Yes. We use medical-grade, next-generation 4-wavelength Diode Laser technology featuring 755 nm, 808 nm, 940 nm, and 1064 nm. These combinations of wavelengths are the "Gold Standard" for safety across diverse skin tones. Unlike older Alexandrite or IPL machines that rely heavily on skin contrast (and can burn darker skin), our Diode system bypasses the surface pigment to target the melanin in the hair follicle directly. This allows us to safely treat Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-V and even sun-kissed skin.

Yes, and here is the science behind why: Our handpieces utilize Crystal Freeze Continuous Contact Cooling. The tip of the laser is chilled to sub-zero temperatures (-4°C to -10°C). Because this cooling tip touches your skin milliseconds before the laser heat energy is delivered, it numbs the pain receptors instantly. Most clients compare the sensation to a "cool stone massage" rather than the "rubber band snap" of older lasers.

We value transparency over sales pressure: most clients require 5 to 7 sessions to achieve 90%+ permanent reduction. Laser hair removal only works on hair that is in the Anagen (active growth) phase. Since only about 10-15% of your hair is in this phase at any given time, multiple sessions are required to catch every hair. Our $49/session "Pay-As-You-Go" model protects you from buying expensive 6-session packages you might not fully need.

To get the best results, please follow these three rules:

1. Shave close: Please shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment. The laser targets the root, not the surface hair.

2. No waxing/plucking: Do not wax or tweeze for 4 weeks prior. The follicle must be present for the laser to work.

3. Avoid active tanning: While our laser is safer for tanned skin than others, we cannot treat skin that is currently sunburned or "angry." Please avoid heavy sun exposure for 48 hours pre-treatment.
   

**Calgary Pro Tip: Laser Care for Calgary’s Dry Climate

Calgary’s low humidity means your skin is naturally thirstier. Laser hair removal requires hydrated skin for the best results.

1. We recommend using a heavier, fragrance-free cream (like Cerave or Cetaphil) 2x daily starting 3 days before your appointment.

2. Avoid exposure to windburn during Chinooks immediately post-treatment.
