Unwanted hair rarely starts as a major concern. For most people, it becomes one over time. Irritation from shaving. Ingrown hairs that keep returning. Waxing that works for a week and then doesn’t. Eventually, the routine itself becomes the problem.
Laser hair removal offers a more lasting way forward because it addresses hair growth at the follicle rather than at the surface. At Philosophy of Beauty, treatments are performed using the GentleMax Pro® laser system by Candela. This platform is widely used in medical aesthetic clinics because it allows treatments to be adapted, not forced, across different skin tones and hair types.
Patients come to our Toronto and Vaughan clinics for different reasons. Some want fewer ingrowns. Some want smoother skin. Others simply want a solution that fits into real life. Treatment plans are built with those realities in mind.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair gradually. The goal is not instant removal, but long-term reduction that improves with each session.
GentleMax Pro® is considered a gold-standard laser system because it combines two wavelengths in one platform: Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm). This matters. Skin tone, hair depth, and pigment vary significantly from person to person, and a single-wavelength system cannot safely or effectively address all of those differences.
For lighter skin tones, Alexandrite is often used due to its efficiency. For darker skin tones, Nd:YAG penetrates deeper and interacts less with surface pigment, improving safety. The ability to switch between these wavelengths allows treatments to be tailored rather than standardised.
For patients seeking laser hair removal in Toronto or Vaughan, this flexibility supports both safety and consistency. Every course of treatment begins with a consultation to assess suitability and align expectations.
Laser hair removal works through selective photothermolysis. In simple terms, the laser targets pigment within the hair shaft. That energy converts to heat and travels down to the follicle, reducing its ability to produce new hair.
Results develop over time. Hair regrowth becomes slower, finer, and less noticeable. Benefits commonly include:
For patients seeking laser hair reduction in Toronto, consistency matters more than speed. This approach supports that.
GentleMax Pro® can be used on most areas of the body. Treatments are adjusted based on sensitivity and hair density, not a fixed checklist.
Women often request laser hair removal for legs, underarms, bikini area, arms, upper lip, and chin. Men commonly choose treatment for the back, shoulders, chest, neck, and beard-line shaping. Facial areas and regions prone to ingrown hairs can also be treated safely when appropriate settings are used.
Each area is reviewed during consultation. Timing and expectations are discussed before treatment begins.
Most patients describe the sensation as brief and manageable. A quick snap. A moment of warmth. Sensitivity varies, especially on different areas of the body.
GentleMax Pro® is designed to minimise discomfort. The sapphire cooling tip and Dynamic Cooling Device® (DCD™) cool the skin before each pulse. Sessions are also relatively short, which many patients find makes treatment easier to tolerate.
If needed, settings can be adjusted while maintaining safety.
Hair grows in cycles. Laser hair removal works only when hair is actively growing. That’s why multiple sessions are required.
Most patients need six to eight sessions, spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart. The exact number depends on hair colour, thickness, skin tone, treatment area, and hormonal factors.
Some reduction may be noticeable after the first session. More visible changes usually appear after three to five treatments. Hair can still grow between sessions as dormant follicles become active. In certain cases, maintenance sessions are recommended.
Laser hair removal is suitable for most individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI when performed using GentleMax Pro® technology. Darker hair responds best because it contains more pigment.
Hair colours with little or no pigment — grey, white, blonde, or red — may not respond effectively. This is discussed during consultation. Suitability, limitations, and expectations are reviewed before treatment begins.

Preparation helps ensure safe treatment. Patients are usually advised to avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks, shave the treatment area if instructed, and arrive with clean skin.
Makeup, lotions, deodorants, and topical products should not be applied to the treatment area on the day of treatment. Medications, supplements, and recent skin treatments should be disclosed during consultation.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity is common and usually short-lived.
Rare side effects can occur, particularly if aftercare instructions are not followed. Aftercare typically includes daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoiding exfoliation or harsh products for several days, and following guidance provided by the clinic.
