Laser Hair Removal in North York: What to Expect, Cost & Safety

The Ultimate Doctor-Led Guide to Permanent Hair Reduction at ReJoo Clinic

Unwanted hair can be frustrating, time-consuming, and irritating to the skin. If you’re constantly shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs, you’re not alone.

At ReJoo Clinic in North York, Toronto, our physician-led team offers advanced laser hair removal treatments designed for long-term hair reduction with safety, precision, and comfort in mind.

This comprehensive Q&A guide answers everything you need to know before booking your consultation.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical-grade treatment that uses targeted light energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth.

The laser targets melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle, converting light into heat energy that damages the follicle while protecting the surrounding skin. Over a series of treatments, this significantly reduces regrowth.

At ReJoo Clinic, we customize settings based on:

• Skin tone

• Hair thickness

• Treatment area

• Hormonal factors

• Sensitive level

This ensures maximum effectiveness with minimal risk.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do I Need?

Hair grows in three phases:

• Anagen (growth phase) – most responsive to laser

• Catagen (transition)

• Telogen (resting)

Because only hairs in the active growth phase respond to treatment, multiple sessions are required.

Most patients need:

• 6–8 sessions

• Spaced 4–6 weeks apart

• Gradual thinning after each visit

• Noticeably smoother skin by session 3–4

Areas like the face may require slightly more sessions due to hormonal influence.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for All Skin Types?

Modern laser technology allows treatment of a wide range of skin tones, including darker complexions.

At ReJoo Clinic:

• We use medical-grade lasers

• We adjust wavelength and energy based on your Fitzpatrick skin type

• We perform a consultation before treatment

If you are on certain medications (e.g., isotretinoin) or have active skin conditions, we will assess suitability beforehand.

Safety and skin integrity always come first.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, not 100% permanent hair removal.

What this means:

• Most treated follicles stop producing hair

• Some may regrow finer and lighter

• Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, PCOS) may cause new growth

For maintenance, we typically recommend:

• 1–2 touch-up sessions per year

Compared to waxing or shaving, laser is significantly more cost-effective long term.

Can I Return to Work After Treatment?

Yes — there is no downtime.

You may resume normal activities immediately, but we recommend:

• Avoiding hot yoga, sauna, or intense workouts for 24 hours

• Avoiding waxing or exfoliating treated areas

• Wearing broad-spectrum SPF daily

• Minimizing direct sun exposure

Mild redness is normal and typically resolves within a few hours.

Laser Hair Removal vs Waxing: Which Is Better?

Waxing	Laser Hair Removal
Temporary results Painful every visit Causes ingrown hairs Repeated skin trauma Ongoing lifetime cost	Long-term reduction Becomes more comfortable  over time Reduces ingrowns Skin-friendly over time Cost-effective long term

If you struggle with:

• Ingrown hairs

• Razor bumps

• Hyperpigmentation

• Thick regrowth

Lasers are typically the superior solution.

What Should I Do Before My Appointment?

To optimize results:

✔ Shave the area within 24 hours

✔ Avoid waxing, plucking, threading for 4 weeks

✔ Avoid sun exposure

✔ Pause retinol, AHA/BHA on the treatment area

✔ Inform us of medications or skin treatments

Proper preparation improves safety and effectiveness.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe During Pregnancy?

Most medical clinics, including ours, recommend postponing treatment during pregnancy.

This is not due to known harm, but because:

• Hormonal changes can alter hair growth

• Effectiveness may be reduced

You may resume treatments postpartum.
