Laser Hair Removal | LCI Skincare Therapy

Laser hair removal at LCI Skincare Therapy Clinic offers a long-term solution to the hassle of daily shaving and painful waxing. Compared to other hair removal methods, laser therapy is more effective and can achieve longer-lasting results with fewer sessions. Since 1997, we have been the National Capital Region’s authority, pioneering the safest and most effective laser hair reduction treatments. Our experienced, physician-trained specialists use a medical-grade handheld device to deliver focused laser energy directly to hair follicles. This process damages the follicle enough to stop future hair growth, giving you smooth skin and lasting confidence. Laser hair removal can also help address certain skin issues related to hair removal, such as ingrown hairs and irritation. Our approach is customizable and safe for nearly all skin types.

Traditional hair removal methods offer only temporary relief. Shaving requires daily commitment and often leads to razor burn, bumps, and ingrown hairs. Waxing is a painful cycle that must be repeated every few weeks, creating inflammation and skin irritation. Laser hair removal is a precise process that eliminates the root of the problem. It is an investment that saves you time and improves your overall skin health. As pioneers in the field, we offer expertise that ensures maximum results with minimum discomfort. Our commitment to comfort, quality, and competitive pricing is what sets us apart in Ottawa, ON.

Lumenis Light Sheer Desire Laser and Splendor X- the first solid-state , synchronized laser emission Alexandrite and Nd:Yag system use clinically proven technology to remove unwanted hair. Both are FDA and Health Canada approved. Our process begins with a detailed consultation to assess your hair and skin type. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment, or melanin, in the hair follicle. This light energy is converted into heat, which safely and effectively disables the follicle’s ability to grow hair. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to treat all hairs during their active growth phase. Treated hair may shed in the following days to weeks, and regrowth is usually finer and lighter. Treated hair may shed in the following days to weeks, and regrowth is usually finer and lighter. Laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair. We tailor the specific laser settings to your unique complexion and hair color to ensure both safety and optimal efficacy. Our specialists are certified and highly trained in advanced laser procedures. We are proudly Canadian and committed to leading technology standards.

For the best results, we recommend a few simple preparation steps. The treatment area should be shaved clean the day before your appointment. Do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory creams for at least four weeks prior, as the laser needs the hair root to target the follicle. Preparation for laser hair removal includes trimming hair in the treatment area and potentially applying a topical numbing gel. Avoid sun exposure for two weeks before and after your treatment to prevent complications. Aftercare may involve avoiding sun exposure and using soothing ointments to promote healing and comfort. We will provide detailed pre- and post-care instructions to ensure a refreshing and comfortable experience.
