What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal in Winnipeg

At Glamorous Aesthetics & Laser Centre, we use the Venus Versa™ Epileve device utilizes Diode Laser which treats a variety of skin types most effectively. It offers two modes of operation: PULSE and SLIDE mode. PULSE delivers higher energy at a lower repetition rate, which leads to fewer treatment sessions. While SLIDE mode delivers a high repetition rate of short pulses, ensuring full treatment coverage with virtually no discomfort. This system provides revolutionary comfort in the industry with real-time cooling system – virtually painless. This process maintains effectiveness in delivering results, and even better, there is no downtime! Some hairs may emerge after your laser hair removal treatment, and we can treat those areas during a follow-up appointment. Over time, laser hair removal treatments may permanently reduce hair growth. Healing varies from person to person depending on skin colour or area of treatment. Slight redness or swelling is to be expected and lasts for a little while. You may still be able to see stubble for 2-3 weeks as old hair is being expelled from disables follicles. This hair generally goes away with gentle rubbing.

The Benefits

FAQ's

Is this treatment right for me?

Typically fair people with dark coarse hair are the best candidates for laser hair removal. As lasers target darker coloured hair, it may not be as effective with blonde or light hair.

How long is the treatment?

If it’s a smaller area, it may only take as little as 15-30 minutes. A larger area, like two full legs, may take up to 60 minutes.

How many sessions do I need to see results?

The number of treatments depends on many factors such as the area of treatment, hair growth, the colour of hair etc., which is why results are varying. Typically most body parts start to show results in five treatments. Hair grows in different stages and at different rates for everyone, so it depends again on each individual person and the area being treated.

What does it feel like? Will it hurt?

You’ll feel some heat in the area, but this will only last a short while, thanks to the real-time cooling system that kicks in right away to help minimize discomfort. The treatment itself feels like the light snap with an elastic band against your skin as the applicator moves around the treatment area. If you find it too uncomfortable, let us know, and we can adjust the treatment accordingly!

How will I feel after my treatment?

Your skin may look dry and feel a little itchy because the operator has to dry-shave the area before starting the treatment. Moisturizing can help relieve the itch. Other than that, you shouldn’t really feel any different after your treatment. In the case you got Face laser done, you can apply makeup directly after your appointment, however make sure to apply SPF beforehand.
