Laser Hair Removalin North Vancouver
Laser hair removal is a light-based treatment that may help reduce unwanted hair over time. At Nuevo Skin Lab, treatment is planned around your skin characteristics, hair colour and density, treatment area, medical history, and goals. Using Cutera Xeo and Fotona laser and light-based technologies, our approach is focused on careful assessment, personalised treatment settings, and realistic expectations.
Understanding Laser Hair Removal
Treatment recommendations are based on individual assessment. Not every treatment area, hair type, or skin concern is suitable for laser hair removal.

Important Considerations

A series of treatments is commonly recommended because hair grows in cycles
Temporary redness, swelling, warmth, or follicle-related bumps may occur
Sun exposure, tanning, certain medications, and recent skin treatments may affect suitability and timing
Laser hair removal may be less effective for very light, grey, red, or white hair
Laser hair removal may involve burns, blistering, infection, or changes in skin colour. Contact the clinic promptly if you experience persistent or worsening pain, blistering, crusting, unusual skin-colour changes, or other concerning symptoms after treatment.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Laser hair removal uses controlled light energy to target pigment in the hair follicle. The energy is converted to heat, which may damage the follicle and reduce future hair growth.
