Eliminate unwanted hair
At Dermapure Edmonton Downtown (Lucere), Laser Hair Removal offers a safe and effective way to achieve smoother skin and long-lasting results. This treatment targets the hair follicle to slow and reduce regrowth over time, helping to minimize the need for shaving or waxing while keeping the skin soft and even.
Laser Hair Removal in Edmonton is available at our Downtown (Lucere) clinic, where each treatment is performed by experienced medical professionals and personalized to your skin and hair type.

Ensuring that the skin is smooth before treatment begins takes just a few seconds. Your technician will use a razor to make sure that no hair interferes with the treatment area; this action also stimulates the pigment of the hair and helps avoid the risk of micro burns.
Outlining the treatment area with a white cosmetic pencil serves as a guide for your technician. It helps ensure the entire surface is treated without going over the same area twice.
At the start of each session, an aqueous protective gel is applied on the entire surface of the treatment area, helping the applicator slide smoothly and protecting the skin from burns. In addition, the gel increases comfort during the session by offering a refreshing contrast to the heat delivered by the applicator.
Protective eyewear helps protect eyes from light rays. While it is perfectly normal to perceive several flashes of light during the session, your eye protection ensures complete safety at all times.
Adjusting the parameters of the device is part of the treatment process. Since every person is unique, your technician will consider several factors when assessing your individual needs; including the treatment area, your phototype (skin colour) and the texture and colour of your hair. This is why a test is done a few days before your first complete session. The technician will ask for your hair to be visible then test a few pulses to ensure the best settings for your treatment.
Treatment begins as soon as the applicator touches the skin and delivers its energy to the treatment area. This process is repeated by gently and gradually sliding the tip over the entire area until it has been completely covered. With pulsed light, the treatment is practically painless; a sensation of diffused heat is felt, that on occasion can cause some patients to flinch slightly. With laser, the same heating effect is felt and the sensation of pinching is intensified. In both cases, temporary swelling around the hair follicles may appear immediately after treatment; this indicates a good response to the treatment.
When your session is over, the gel is removed and your skin is cleansed. To help calm the “warming” sensation felt after treatment and to help protect your skin, a hydrating cream is applied carefully to the entire treatment area, followed by a mineral sunscreen.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
Once the sessions are completed, in some cases, a minimal annual maintenance is required before the summer season for a very few stubborn hairs that may have remained. Electrolysis for lighter hairs may be something to consider, as well.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should postpone this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has been exposed to the sun the month before and after each session. The use of tanning booths, self-tanning products or photosensitizing medication is prohibited as are waxing and tweezing. It should be noted that people with blonde, red or white hair cannot obtain satisfactory results.
All areas of the body and face that have hair can be treated with our permanent hair removal technologies. The most common areas include underarms, groin, legs (half or full), arms and upper lip. For our male clients, popular treatment areas include the chest, back and beard. One or more areas can be treated during the same session. Depending on the technology used, 6 to 10 consecutive treatments may be necessary to completely eliminate hair. Sessions should be scheduled 6 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area. It should be noted that shaving is permitted between sessions and the skin must be shaved before each appointment.
