Facial Laser Hair Removal in Moncton & Dieppe

Laser hair removal is best described as long-term hair reduction, not guaranteed long-term removal. Treated hairs may reduce significantly over a series, but maintenance may be needed and results vary by hair colour, hair thickness, hormones, skin type, and consistency.

Darker, coarser terminal hairs usually respond best because they contain more pigment for the laser to target. Fine, light vellus hair or peach fuzz is less responsive and may not be a good laser target.

Usually not well. Peach fuzz or vellus hair is often too fine and light to absorb laser energy. Your provider can assess whether laser, dermaplaning, waxing, threading, or another option is more appropriate.

Common areas may include upper lip, chin, jawline, sideburns, and selected cheeks when the hair is appropriate. Sparkle does not treat directly around the eyes, orbital bone, or eyebrows due to eye safety risk.

Laser treatment near the eyes carries serious eye safety risks, even with protective eyewear. For eyebrow shaping or hair around the orbital bone, waxing, threading, plucking, or other non-laser options are typically recommended.

Candidacy depends on skin tone, hair colour, tanning history, medications, photosensitivity, skin condition, and laser settings. GentleMax Pro can treat a wide range of clients when settings are chosen appropriately, but not everyone is a candidate at every visit.

Comfort varies. Many clients describe the sensation as a quick snap with cooling support from the GentleMax Pro Dynamic Cooling Device. Facial areas can be sensitive, and settings may be adjusted for comfort and safety.

The source page states sessions are typically 15–30 minutes depending on the area treated and the amount of hair.

Arrive with clean skin and no makeup, lotion, or oils. Avoid retinoids or acids for 48 hours before if directed, avoid sun and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment, and avoid waxing or tweezing for 4–6 weeks. Shaving is usually recommended the day before.

Avoid heat, sweating, hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24–48 hours. Use gentle skincare, avoid exfoliants, acids, or retinoids for a few days, and protect the area with SPF.

Most clients need a series because hair grows in cycles. The number of sessions varies by area, hair colour, hair thickness, hormones, skin type, and response.

Possible risks include redness, swelling, tenderness, burns, blisters, pigment changes, irritation, crusting, paradoxical hair growth, eye injury if treated too close to the eyes, under-response, or unsatisfactory results. Proper screening, eyewear, settings, and aftercare reduce risk but cannot eliminate it.
