Laser Hair Removal in Mississauga
Advanced Nd:YAG Laser Technology with Clarity II
Smooth, long-lasting results with medically guided laser hair removal at Skinfinity Aesthetics.
We use the Clarity II Nd:YAG laser, a gold-standard technology designed to safely and effectively treat unwanted hair on all skin tones, including darker skin types.
What Is Laser Treatment for Hair Removal?
Laser treatment for hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that reduces unwanted hair by sending concentrated light energy into the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs that energy, which heats and damages the follicle so it produces less hair over time.
Because only hairs in the active growth phase respond to the laser, a series of sessions is needed. With each treatment, regrowth becomes finer, lighter, and slower, and most patients see long-term hair reduction after completing a full course.
At Skinfinity Aesthetics, every laser hair removal treatment is performed with Clarity II Nd:YAG laser technology after a consultation that looks at your skin type, hair colour and medical history.
Why We Use Clarity II Nd:YAG Laser
Clarity II Nd:YAG is an advanced medical-grade laser designed to:
Safely treat all skin tones, including deeper skin types
Penetrate deeper to target stubborn hair follicles
Reduce the risk of burns, pigmentation, or irritation
Deliver consistent results with fewer side effects
This technology is a significant upgrade from traditional IPL systems and offers greater precision, safety, and effectiveness.
Many lower-cost clinics use IPL (intense pulsed light), which is not a true laser. IPL spreads light across a broad range of wavelengths and is less suited to darker skin. The Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper and bypasses much of the pigment in the skin surface, which is why it is a preferred option for South Asian, Middle Eastern, Black and Latin skin tones.
Areas We Treat
Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body, including:

How Laser Hair Removal Works
- Consultation and patch test. We assess your skin tone, hair type, medications and treatment goals, then test the laser on a small area.
- Preparation. You shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. We clean the skin and set the laser for your skin and hair type.
- Treatment. The laser hand piece passes over the area with built-in cooling. Most people describe a warm snapping feeling.
- Shedding. Over the following 1 to 3 weeks, treated hairs loosen and fall out.
- Repeat sessions. Sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the body area, to target hairs as they move into the growth phase.

Before and After Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Before your session
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours before.
- Avoid waxing, plucking or threading for 4 weeks beforehand, because the laser needs the hair root in place.
- Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 2 weeks.
- Let us know about any new medications, especially ones that increase light sensitivity.
After your session
- Mild redness or bumps are normal and usually settle within a few hours to a day.
- Use SPF 30+ on treated areas and avoid tanning for 2 weeks.
- Skip hot tubs, saunas and intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours.
- Do not pluck or wax between sessions. Shaving is fine.
Who Laser Hair Removal Is Not Suitable For
Laser treatment may need to be postponed or avoided if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- have an active skin infection, open wound or sunburn in the treatment area
- have recently used isotretinoin (Accutane) or other photosensitizing medications
- have a history of keloid scarring
- have very light blonde, grey, white or red hair, because there is little pigment for the laser to target
Your consultation covers all of this before any treatment is booked.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Hair grows in natural cycles, which is why multiple laser hair removal sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results. Most patients need approximately 6–8 treatments spaced several weeks apart to effectively target hair during its active growth phase. Results tend to improve progressively with each session, and occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended annually to help maintain long-term smoothness.
When performed using medical-grade technology and proper protocols, laser hair removal is considered safe and effective. The Clarity II Nd:YAG laser is FDA-cleared and clinically tested, and it is designed to minimize many of the risks commonly associated with older laser and IPL devices. A thorough consultation is required prior to treatment to assess your skin type, hair characteristics, and overall suitability, ensuring a safe and personalized approach.
