What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical aesthetic treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The diode laser emits wavelengths absorbed by melanin pigment within the hair shaft. This light energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle’s ability to produce new hair while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.

Why Multiple Sessions Are Required
Hair grows in three phases: anagen (active), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Laser treatment only affects hairs in active anagen phase, and only twenty to thirty percent of follicles are active at any time. Multiple sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart target all follicles through their growth cycles. Most patients require six to eight sessions for optimal permanent hair reduction.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal in Montreal
Laser hair removal treatment provides significant advantages over temporary methods like shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams. Clinique Face MD patients experience these key benefits:
Long-Term Hair Reduction
Diode laser technology targets hair follicles at their root, leading to permanent reduction in hair growth after completing a full treatment series. Most patients achieve smooth skin that lasts years with minimal maintenance.
Effective for All Skin Types
Advanced diode lasers treat skin types I through VI safely, including darker skin tones that older laser systems could not address effectively. Our technicians customize laser settings based on your individual skin tone and hair colour.
Prevents Ingrown Hairs
Laser removal eliminates the razor bumps, irritation, and ingrown hairs caused by shaving and waxing. Hair follicles treated by laser cannot produce the coarse regrowth that causes ingrown hair problems.
Fast Treatment Sessions
Small areas like the upper lip require just minutes, while larger areas like legs or back take thirty to sixty minutes. Integrated cooling systems minimize discomfort throughout each session.
Cost-Effective Over Time
Permanent hair reduction eliminates ongoing expenses for razors, waxing appointments, and depilatory products, providing long-term savings compared to temporary removal methods.
Medical Supervision
All laser hair removal treatments at Clinique Face MD are supervised by Dr. Sami Moubayed, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, ensuring the highest standards of safety and precision for every patient.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Areas
Laser hair removal effectively treats nearly any body area with unwanted hair. Clinique Face MD offers comprehensive treatment for the following zones:
- Face: Upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns, and full face treatments address unwanted facial hair with precision. Our expertise in facial anatomy ensures safe treatment near delicate structures.
- Underarms: This popular treatment area responds quickly to laser hair removal due to coarse, dark hair characteristics. Most patients see significant reduction within four to six sessions.
- Bikini and Brazilian: Laser treatment provides a clean, smooth result for the bikini line or full Brazilian area, eliminating irritation and ingrown hairs common with waxing.
- Legs: Full leg or half leg treatments remove unwanted hair from thighs, calves, and knees. Laser hair removal saves hours of shaving time each month.
- Arms: Both full arm and forearm treatments address fine or coarse arm hair effectively, leaving smooth skin without stubble.
- Back and chest: Popular among men seeking permanent reduction of dense body hair, these larger treatment areas benefit from our high-speed diode laser technology.
- Neck: Laser treatment refines the hairline and eliminates razor irritation for both men and women.
Note: Eyebrows and eyelashes cannot be treated due to proximity to the eyes.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works for most adults seeking permanent reduction of unwanted body or facial hair. Ideal candidates for treatment at Clinique Face MD include individuals who:
- Experience frustration with constant shaving, waxing, or tweezing
- Have dark hair on any skin tone from light to dark
- Want to eliminate ingrown hairs and razor irritation
- Seek long-term cost savings over temporary hair removal methods
- Maintain realistic expectations about gradual results over multiple sessions
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have not used tanning beds or self-tanners within two weeks of treatment
- Can avoid sun exposure on treated areas before and after sessions
Patients with blonde, red, white, or grey hair may not achieve optimal results because laser technology targets melanin pigment. During your consultation, our specialists assess your hair colour, skin type, and treatment goals to determine candidacy and create a personalized treatment plan.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery and Preparation
Before Your Treatment
Shave the treatment area one day before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for two weeks prior. Do not wax, pluck, or tweeze for four weeks before treatment as the laser needs intact hair follicles to target. Arrive with clean skin free of lotions, makeup, and deodorant.
After Your Treatment
Laser hair removal requires no downtime. Mild redness or slight swelling may appear for a few hours, indicating effective follicle targeting. Apply cool compresses or aloe vera gel if needed. Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Treated hair will shed naturally over one to two weeks.
