Unwanted Hair
The hair that keeps coming back.
You shave, you wax, you pluck, and within days the hair returns. Each one grows from a follicle with its own blood supply and cycle, so surface methods never reach the root. Laser hair removal works at that deeper level to reduce regrowth over a series of sessions.

CONCERN & CAUSES
Why Unwanted Hair Keeps Coming Back
Most patients arrive after years of shaving and waxing that never solved anything. The reason sits below the surface, in the follicle, and that is where laser treatment is aimed.
01
The Follicle Stays Active
Each hair grows from a follicle with its own blood supply and cycle. Shaving cuts the surface and waxing pulls the strand, but the follicle stays intact and grows a new hair within weeks.
02
Hormones and Genetics
Hormonal shifts, family history, and conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome can drive thicker, darker growth. These causes sit below the skin, so surface routines manage only the symptom.
03
The Surface-Only Trap
Shaving, waxing, plucking, and threading work at the surface or pull the strand free for a short window. None of them damages the follicle, so the same hair returns on its own cycle.
04
The Daily Cost It Adds
Razor burn before an event, ingrown hairs that leave dark marks for months, and waxing visits that eat time and budget. The upkeep compounds across face, underarms, bikini line, and legs.

FAQ
Common Questions About
Laser Hair Removal
Most patients need six to eight sessions for lasting results. Hair grows in cycles and laser only targets follicles in the active phase, so multiple sessions spaced four to six weeks apart catch each follicle at the right time. Victoria sets your session count around your hair density and the area treated.
Most patients describe it as a quick snapping sensation against the skin. Sensitive areas like the bikini line feel more intense than areas like the legs. Cooling technology built into the device reduces discomfort during the session.
Laser produces permanent hair reduction rather than total permanent removal. After a full course, most treated hair stops growing back, and an occasional maintenance session once a year keeps the area smooth. Results depend on your hair colour, skin type, and the area treated.
Yes. The laser devices at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering are suitable for a range of skin tones. Your practitioner adjusts the wavelength and energy settings based on your skin evaluation, and may run a small test patch first to confirm the right settings for you.
Small areas like the upper lip take five to ten minutes. Underarms take about fifteen minutes. Full legs can take forty-five to sixty minutes. Treatment time depends on the size and density of the area being covered.
Shave the treatment area the night before so the laser can reach the follicle. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for four weeks before your session, since those methods remove the root the laser needs to target. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner on the area beforehand.
Mild redness and slight swelling are common right after treatment and usually fade within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when treatment is performed by trained clinical staff who match the settings to your skin type.
Pricing depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions in your plan. We provide a detailed quote at your consultation so you know the full cost before starting, rather than session by session.
No. Laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy. We can plan your treatment for after delivery and any breastfeeding period, and your practitioner will help you map out a timeline at your consultation.
Laser targets the pigment in the hair, so it works well on dark hair against lighter skin. Light blonde, red, white, and grey hairs hold little pigment, which limits how much energy the follicle absorbs. Your practitioner assesses your hair colour at the consultation and tells you honestly what results to expect before you commit.
