Laser Hair Removal |
Are you bothered by unwanted hair or fed up with the hassle of shaving, waxing, or epilating? Do you want permanent hair reduction at a reasonable rate?
Our laser clinic at Integrative Healing Arts in Vancouver offers solutions with IPL permanent hair reduction.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
IPL or Intense Pulsed Light hair reduction is a very effective method of treatment using pulses of concentrated light that are absorbed by the hair follicles. The light energy destroys the hair follicle and the hair does not grow back. Pulsed light systems are similar to lasers, but with a larger, smooth beam and a long pulse for a safe, fast and comfortable treatment. The system used at Integrative Healing Arts also has the added benefit of contact cooling which allows for a safer treatment with less discomfort to the patient. The Palomar system is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction.

Less expensive in the long run – consider waxing which can be $30-$60 per treatment every month, over a ten year period you could spend $3600 to $7200 in waxing sessions and over a hundred hours in treatment time.
Pulsed light treatments are most effective on hair in the active growth phase, or the anagen phase. Multiple treatments may be necessary for permanent reduction of hair. The exact number of treatments varies depending on the person, the body part being treated, the colour of the skin and colour of the hair. Most patients are very happy with the results after 4-8 treatments, and experience around 70-80% hair reduction.
Our certified laser technicians will spend time with each patient doing an in-depth consultation and go over any cautionary criteria that the patient may need to be aware of. At this time the technician will also administer some test spots in order for the patient to experience what a typical treatment will feel like, as well as gauging the skin’s response.
