Unwanted Hair
Unwanted body hair is something both women and men struggle with. Shaving and waxing are traditionally the go-to choices for dealing with unwanted body hair. Both sexes hate shaving or waxing areas of their body that they want to keep looking and feeling smooth.
Nobody wants the nicks and cuts from shaving, or the pain and irritation and ingrown hairs of waxing. Then there is the time factor. How many hours are you spending every year on shaving and waxing?

At our clinic, we offer treatments from 3 different types of machines for hair removal: the Soprano laser, the Gentle YAG laser and the Harmony IPL.*
Which type of machine is best for you will depend on a number of factors, which we will go over during your assessment.
The laser light energy targets pigment called melanin in hair. The laser light energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair root creating heat and destroying the hair follicle but preserving the skin.
Different lasers use different wave lengths to accommodate different skin pigments, which obviously can be determined by your race or tan.
The darker the hair colour the better. Dark hair absorbs more light, which makes more heat to damage the follicle. Coarse hair also generates a lot of heat, which helps to target the cells of the follicle that make the hair.
Laser treatment is ineffective on blonde and white hair, because it contains little or no melanin. Red hair is also difficult to treat.
Laser removal of unwanted hair is very safe, with absolutely no risk of skin cancer.
The wavelength of light that produces skin cancer is in the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. The Gentle YAG and Soprano produce light at the opposite end of the spectrum in the infrared range. The Harmony IPL has filters that block out the light in the ultraviolet range.
State of the art equipment, very experienced staff, physician supervision, competitive pricing, and a money-back guarantee make York Laser and MedSpa a great place to treat your unwanted hair.
