Say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and unwanted hair with Venus Velocity™ Laser Hair Removal at Level Laser Med Spa in York Region. Enjoy fast, comfortable treatments for long-lasting hair reduction and beautifully smooth skin.
Hair grows in a cycle of three stages: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). The Venus Velocity™ laser uses technology to target the hair follicle in the anagen phase, which is when the hair responds best to the treatment. About 30% of hair is in this phase at any given time, which is why you need multiple treatments to see results. The Venus Velocity™ diode laser works by delivering energy to the hair follicle, where it’s absorbed by the hair pigment. This destroys the follicle so that the hair cannot grow anymore, resulting in permanent hair reduction.
Enjoy fast, effective laser hair removal in York Region with Venus Velocity™, delivering smooth, long-lasting results in less time, even for larger treatment areas.
Treatments are safe for all skin tones, even tanned skin. The advanced cooling system of the diode laser hair removal machine works on contact to ensure your skin is always protected, so you can enjoy a more comfortable treatment.
Return to your regular routine immediately after your treatment sessions.
Laser hair removal in York Region is ideal for individuals looking to achieve long-lasting hair reduction on the face or body. At Level Laser Med Spa, our Venus Velocity™ treatments offer a fast, effective alternative to shaving, waxing, and plucking.
For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:
Venus Velocity™ hair removal treatments can be done on darker skin tones, even tanned skin, but using different settings, as there is a higher risk of discoloration (since darker skin has more pigment in it). The technician will perform a test spot and wait between 15 minutes to 48 hours, depending on your skin tone, to assess your reaction to the laser. He/she would know best what treatment parameters are most appropriate to use for your skin type.
Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person’s skin type, hair colour and texture, and the area being treated.
Treatments are done 6-8 weeks apart, however your service provider may suggest a different schedule based on your personal hair growth cycle.
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup before your session, and stop using any products that might irritate your skin 2-3 days before. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated. Please shave and clean the area 24 hours before starting your treatment. We will also ask about your medical history before the session, so it helps to have that information ready.
It depends on where you’re getting the treatment—an upper lip will be much faster than both legs.
Once the treatment starts, you’ll feel some heat in the area, but this will only last a short while, thanks to the real-time cooling system that kicks in right away to help minimize discomfort.
The applicator has a built-in cooling feature to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, but you might feel a bit of discomfort if you’re treating a more sensitive area, like along the bikini line. If you find it too uncomfortable, let your treatment provider know and they can adjust the settings accordingly.
You may feel like you have a slight sunburn around the treatment area, but this should go away after 1-2 days at the very most. You can use a cool compress to cool the area if need be. You may also see some hairs fall out more easily in the days following your treatment—this is perfectly normal. Some patients may also experience what appears to be a rash accompanied by some mild itching. This is also normal—it’s just the skin’s response to the energy. The redness and itching will subside over a few days. Cool compresses or antibiotic ointment can help speed up the healing process.
It depends on how your hair grows. Some people may see longer-lasting hair removal, while others who see sporadic hair growth in the area may need a touch-up treatment to maintain the results.
There is no downtime. You can return to your daily schedule immediately after your treatment.
Be sure to gently clean the treated area twice a day and apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 before going outside; however, avoid excessive sun exposure. You should also steer clear of hot baths, massages, or any treatment that requires direct contact with the skin for the first 2 days after your treatment.
Applying makeup to the treated area is not suggested on the same day.
