We use advanced laser hair removal technology for permanent hair reduction, offering several benefits over older or less targeted methods. Laser treatments deliver highly focused energy to the hair follicle, allowing for precise, effective results with minimal discomfort. Many of our clients report that laser sessions feel more comfortable and controlled compared to traditional hair-removal alternatives. Laser hair removal is also a cost-effective long-term solution, reducing the need for frequent maintenance treatments. It is highly effective across a wide range of skin and hair types, thanks to its customizable settings and targeted approach. With little to no downtime required, you can return to your daily routine immediately after your session.

Hair removal prices range from $75–95 for small areas, $120–175 for medium areas, and $250–350 for large areas per session. We offer 15-20% discounts on packages of 6 or more.

The number of laser hair removal sessions needed to achieve long-lasting, permanent hair reduction varies from person to person. On average, most clients experience significant results after 6 to 8 sessions, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in cycles, and laser technology is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen). Multiple sessions are necessary to target each follicle during this optimal stage. Factors such as hair colour, skin type, treatment area, and individual response to laser treatment can all influence the total number of sessions required. At Vanity Touch in Edmonton, we customize every treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals. Our advanced laser technology is highly effective, comfortable, and efficient, helping you achieve smoother skin with minimal maintenance. Over time, you’ll notice finer regrowth, slower hair return, and ultimately, long-term hair reduction.

Most clients see significant results after 6–10 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your hair type, colour, and the area being treated. Maintenance sessions may be recommended for long-term results.

Laser energy targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, heats it, and disables its ability to regrow. Key Benefits: • Long-term or permanent hair reduction • Treats large areas efficiently • Minimal maintenance after full treatment • Reduces ingrowns and improves skin texture Considerations: • Multiple sessions required • Works best with contrast between hair and skin • Higher upfront cost, but more cost-effective over time 2. Waxing How it works: Hair is pulled out from the root using wax. Pros: • Immediate smooth results • Works on all hair and skin types • Can be done at home or professionally Cons: • Painful for many people • Only lasts 3–6 weeks • Can cause ingrown hairs, irritation, and skin sensitivity • Costs accumulate long-term 3. Shaving How it works: Cuts hair at the surface of the skin. Pros: • Quick and painless • Very inexpensive • Easy to do at home Cons: • Results last only a few days • Can cause razor burn, cuts, and ingrown hairs

Laser hair removal offers long-term, often permanent hair reduction—but it’s not usually considered 100% permanently hair-free for everyone. What “permanent” really means: • Laser treatments destroy or disable many hair follicles, so they no longer grow hair. • Some follicles may only be weakened, producing finer, lighter, slower-growing hair over time. • Most clients experience an 80–95% permanent reduction after completing their sessions. Will hair ever come back? • Some hair may slowly return due to hormones, genetics, or new follicle activation, but it’s usually: • Much finer • Much lighter • Sparse and easy to maintain • Occasional maintenance sessions (once or twice a year) help keep the area smooth long-term.

It safe for most skin types, but safety and effectiveness depend on the technology used and the experience of the provider. Is it safe for all skin types? Yes — with the right laser. Modern lasers are designed to treat a wide range of skin tones, from very fair to deep skin tones. How skin type affects treatment • Lighter skin tones: Most lasers work very effectively because there is high contrast between the hair and skin pigment. • Medium to deep skin tones: Certain lasers (such as Nd:YAG lasers) are specifically designed to bypass the skin’s pigment and safely target the hair follicle without causing burns or discoloration. These lasers greatly reduce risks for darker skin types. The key is using the right technology Safe treatment depends on: • The type of laser used • Proper settings and technique • The experience of the technician Potential risks when treated incorrectly If the wrong device or settings are used, darker skin types may be more prone to: • Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin • Mild burns • Increased sensitivity With the correct laser and skilled provider, these risks are minimal.

It can be used on almost all areas, including the face, underarms, arms, chest, back, bikini line, Brazilian, legs, and more. We also offer multi-area packages for better value and convenience.

You can shave between sessions, but do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory creams during your treatment plan. These methods remove the hair from the follicle, which is needed for the hair removal to be effective.

1. Avoid sun exposure or tanning for 2 weeks before your session 2. Shave the treatment area 24 hours beforehand 3. Don’t use any lotions, deodorants, or skincare products on the treatment area before your appointment 4. Let us know about any medications or skin conditions in advance

Side effects are usually minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or slight sensitivity in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few hours.
