Laser Hair Removal Questions

  • Is laser hair removal permanent?

    Laser hair removal is best described as permanent hair reduction. The treatment targets the hair follicle to significantly reduce growth, but you may still need occasional touch-up sessions down the road. Most people experience significant hair reduction and minimal side effects.

  • What is the average cost of laser hair removal in Ottawa?

    Prices vary based on the area size and the number of sessions needed. Generally, a small area can start around $100 per session, medium areas around $300, and large areas may be $400 or more per session.

  • How many sessions will I need for full results?

    Most clients require an initial series of six to eight treatments to see a significant reduction. This varies because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is only effective on hair in the active growth phase

  • Does LCI Skincare Therapy’s laser hair removal work for all skin types?

    Yes, our certified specialists are trained to customize treatments for all skin types and tones. We use advanced laser technology that ensures safety and effectiveness across diverse complexions.

General Medispa and Aesthetics Questions

  • What is the difference between an IPL Photofacial and a regular facial?

    An IPL Photofacial uses Intense Pulsed Light to target and correct pigmentation, sun damage, and redness beneath the skin’s surface. A regular facial is a surface-level treatment focused on cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating.

  • What are cosmetic injectables, and are they safe?

    Cosmetic injectables, such as fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments, are safely administered by our trained specialists to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore volume. A consultation will determine the best product for you.

  • How is a HydraFacial different from Microdermabrasion?

    Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation to polish the skin. A HydraFacial is a patented, multi-step process that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with antioxidants and hydrating serums.

  • What is the downtime after a Micro-Needling session?

    Downtime is minimal, typically involving a few days of redness similar to a mild sunburn. Over the counter products, such as soothing creams or gentle moisturizers, may be recommended to help calm the skin and manage any mild discomfort. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, which improves skin over the following weeks.

  • Does LCI Skincare Therapy use medical-grade products?

    Yes, we use only cosmeceutical-grade products from lines like Vivierskin and GM Collins. These products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and can only be sold under the direction of a health care practitioner.

  • Can I combine different services in one visit?

    Combining services is possible and often recommended for optimal results, depending on the treatments. We will discuss a strategic plan for combining treatments during your personalized consultation.
