At Cardiff Medical Skin Centre in Oakville, we offer safe, effective laser hair removal for all skin types using medical-grade technology. Say goodbye to waxing, shaving, and ingrown hairs — and hello to lasting results with minimal discomfort.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses targeted light energy to destroy hair follicles at the root. This results in long-term hair reduction and smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs or irritation.
It works best on dark hair but is safe for most skin types with the right laser technology.
We commonly treat:
Face (upper lip, chin, jawline)
Underarms
Bikini line & Brazilian
Legs
Arms
Back & chest
Abdomen & shoulders
Our medical-grade laser emits a specific wavelength of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft. The heat damages the follicle, preventing future growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to treat all follicles effectively.
Technology used: We use advanced, FDA- and Health Canada–approved laser systems that are safe, precise, and suitable for a range of skin tones.
Consultation: Dr. Al-Hakeem or a trained laser specialist will assess your skin and hair type, goals, and medical history.
Treatment: Each session takes 10–60 minutes depending on the area. Protective eyewear is worn, and mild snapping or warmth may be felt.
Post-Treatment: You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours. Avoid sun exposure and hot showers immediately after.
Treatment plan: Most areas require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with occasional maintenance sessions as needed.
