Looking for laser hair removal in Richmond Hill? We offer long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair on the face and body, planned around your hair and skin type.
Laser hair reduction uses light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The heat damages the follicle so it grows back finer, slower or not at all.
Hair grows in cycles and the laser works best on actively growing hair, so a series of sessions is needed. It works best on dark hair.
Laser hair reduction is one of our most-booked cosmetic treatments. If unwanted facial hair is new or sudden, we check for medical causes through our medical dermatology service. Many patients also add IPL for sun spots or Laser Genesis for texture, and our PicoSure Pro tattoo removal uses the same careful skin-typing approach.

It gives long-lasting reduction. Most patients need occasional touch-ups.
Most patients need 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, because the laser works best on hair that is actively growing. Occasional touch-ups may be needed after the series.
The laser targets pigment in the hair, so it works best on dark hair. White, grey, red or very blond hair usually responds poorly, and we will tell you honestly at your consultation if laser is unlikely to help.
Each pulse feels like a quick snap, and built-in cooling keeps sessions comfortable. Redness and small bumps usually settle within a few hours.
Yes. Shave the area on the day of your appointment, and do not wax, pluck or use other hair removal methods, as the laser needs the hair in the follicle to work.
Laser hair removal is priced by area and depends on how many sessions you need. We confirm pricing at your consultation and give you a written plan and quote before treatment. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.
Laser hair removal can be used on many skin tones when settings are matched to your skin type. Darker or tanned skin has a higher risk of pigment change, so we assess your skin and hair at your consultation and set the treatment accordingly.
You can, but tanned or recently sun-exposed skin has a higher risk of blistering and pigment change. Avoid tanning for 4 weeks before each session, protect treated skin from the sun and use SPF 30 or higher daily.
Because it reduces how much hair grows back, laser hair removal usually reduces ingrown hairs compared with shaving or waxing.
New or sudden facial hair can have hormonal causes such as PCOS, which our medical dermatology team can assess. Laser can reduce facial hair, though hormone-related hair may need more touch-up sessions.
We’ll assess your skin and give you a written plan and quote. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.
