Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is provided by Skins Derma Care with 4 locations accross Ottawa.
Diode laser hair removal is a widely recognized and highly effective method for achieving long-term hair reduction. This technique employs a diode laser that emits a concentrated beam of light, precisely targeting the melanin (pigment) within hair follicles. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the melanin, causing the follicles to heat up, which in turn damages them and prevents future hair growth. This process is both safe and efficient, offering a reliable solution for reducing unwanted hair over time, with results that improve after each session. Additionally, diode lasers are suitable for various skin tones and hair types, making it a versatile option for many individuals seeking smoother, hair-free skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Vectus laser work?
The Vectus laser uses advanced diode technology to deliver light energy directly to hair follicles. The pigment in the hair absorbs this energy, which damages the follicle and reduces future hair growth over time.
Most clients require 8 to 10 sessions for optimal results, spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart. Hair growth cycles vary by body area, so multiple treatments are necessary to target hair follicles during their active growth phase (anagen).
Does the Vectus laser treatment hurt?
The Vectus laser includes an advanced cooling system, making the process more comfortable. Some clients report a mild snapping or warm sensation, but the cooling feature significantly reduces discomfort.
When will I see results?
You’ll start noticing slower hair growth and thinning after 2 to 3 sessions, but full results are typically seen after completing the full series. Hair becomes lighter and finer with each session. Some maintenance treatments may be needed annually
Is the Vectus laser suitable for all skin types?
Yes! The Vectus laser is equipped with a Skintel™ Melanin Reader, which measures the melanin in your skin to customize the treatment settings. This ensures safe and effective results across a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin.
Are there any side effects or downtime after Vectus laser treatments?
Side effects are typically minimal. You may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day. There’s no downtime, and most clients can resume normal activities immediately after their session. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and apply SPF to protect the treated skin.
