Laser hair removal is the process of hair removal by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle. Laser hair removal is an extremely effective, virtually pain-free alternative to shaving, waxing or epilation. At Oasis Laser + Aesthetics, we use advanced Soprano ICE technology to administer laser hair removal, guaranteeing premium results every time, and statistically proven to be more effective than standard IPL treatment. Laser hair removal can be safely used on a variety of both large and small areas, including the face, underarms, bikini line and legs.

Soprano ICE laser hair removal is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless. The unique laser wavelengths of Soprano ICE are able to effectively damage the hair follicle, whilst preventing injury and pain to the surrounding tissue. At the same time integrated ICE tech cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and the sensation of pain.

Using Soprano Ice by Alma Lasers, the treated areas will have the laser head pass back and forth multiple times, to provide controlled laser rays to target, and kill off, unwanted hair. These laser rays essentially cook off the hair follicle to a point of destruction, all without damage to the skin. The resulting damage to the hair follicles reduce the body’s ability to grow and hold hair in the treated area(s).

Men and women of all skin types can benefit from the best laser hair removal in Lower Mainland. Whether you have light hair and fair skin or have darker skin and thicker hair, our team of highly trained professionals can help determine which laser treatment is right for you. Those who have white, grey, blonde and red hair are advised against any kind of laser because the hairs can not be targeted to destruction. The hair removal laser generates a specific wavelength which can only be absorbed by a specific type of pigment, which is why laser matching is so important. Incorrect laser matching could result in burns, hyper and hypopigmentation. That’s why it’s essential to have such a highly trained and experienced team of professionals as ours at Oasis Laser.

The average person who wishes to do laser hair removal is recommended a base of 6-8 sessions in the same treatment area. Many patients wonder why there are 6-8 sessions recommended to complete the laser hair removal treatment. The reason for multiple laser hair removal sessions is that hair follicles develop in stages. The immature hair follicle is the farthest from the skin’s surface; therefore, laser light cannot destroy them. As the follicle grows, it starts to move up to the skin’s surface and becomes vulnerable to the laser light. In short, the laser can eliminate only the visible follicles, and it takes 6-8 cycles of successful treatments to have good visible results. Oasis Laser + Aesthetics is the best laser hair removal in Abbotsford and we can help you determine how many treatments are right for you. No more itching, bumps and dark spots after shaving or waxing. No more worries before vacations. Smooth, spotless skin – confidence all year round.

It depends on the size of the area to be treated. Again, during your consultation your laser care technician will be able to tell you more accurately, but to give you an idea, a small area such as the upper lip would take about 10 minutes, the actual lasering is 3-5 minutes.

Those with thick, dense hair may need 10 or more sessions. For example, men’s beard will almost always need 10+ sessions, with continued maintenance treatments. Teens may always require 10+ sessions. Those with active hormones may also need 10+ sessions with continued maintenance treatments. Women who become pregnant post treatment may require a new set of treatments. A person with ethnic backgrounds that have a propensity for more hair growth through the body may need 10+ sessions.

Male or female, body or face, with any skin color can receive successful, safe and effective treatments with our laser protocols. Since our lasers are known for bypassing pigment on the skin, those with dark pigment in their skin can receive laser treatment when they previously could not. Soprano ICE has proven to work on all skin types. We have delivered great results to clients of all skin tones, including Middle Eastern, African, Indian skin tone as well as those with fair skin. Those who have white, grey, blonde and red hair are advised against any kind of laser because the hairs can not be targeted to destruction.
