Ask the Doc
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Q: Is laser hair removal permanent?
A: Our lasers result in permanent hair reduction. Although we cannot guarantee 100% of the hair will be gone, there will be an 80% - 90% permanent reduction. Any hair re-growth is significantly lighter in color and thinner.
Q: How does the LightSheer Duet compare to traditional laser hair removal?
A: Our LightSheer Duet is more comfortable and 75% faster than traditional laser hair removal. During consultation, a test area will be treated so you will know what to expect.
Q: Is a consultation before hair removal required?
A: Yes. During the consultation we perform a medical history and review of medication, view a short video, examine the area of unwanted hair, treat a small test patch in this area and provide an exact cost quote for treatment.
Q: What is the cost for laser hair removal?
A: It depends on the area to be treated. Comparatively, it has big advantages over traditional hair removal treatments such as electrolysis, pulsed light treatments, tweezing, waxing and shaving. Laser hair removal is safer, more reliable and more permanent while being less costly, time consuming and painful.
Q: What areas of the body cannot be treated by laser?
A: Most body parts can be treated, however some need to be avoided such as inside the nose and ears, eyebrows and any mucous membrane.
Q: I have darker skin, can I have treatments?
A: Yes. We are able to treat darker skin types.
SKIN RENEWAL CENTRE FACIAL TREATMENTS
Q: Will the facial treatments performed at the Skin Renewal Centre hurt or make my face red?
A: The facial treatments are designed to progressively renew skin over time. This allows for treatments that are effective, but also comfortable and even soothing. Any redness from procedures is minor and quickly goes away. You can resume with your normal activities immediately upon leaving our office.
Q: Does a doctor perform these procedures?
A: No, our technicians do these procedures. They are highly trained professionals who have several years of medical background. Our physicians are always available for consultation with the technicians when procedures are given.
Q: Is there an age limit for procedures?
A: Everyone from high-school age to senior citizens can benefit from many of our services. However, their reason for having the procedures done may be different. Which treatments, how many, and how frequently they have them will vary according to their goals for their skin.
