How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal targets the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles. The laser energy heats and disables the follicle, preventing future growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to catch each follicle during its active growth phase.
At St. George Dermatology, we use medical-grade laser systems with built-in cooling technology for comfortable, effective treatments on a wide range of skin tones and hair textures.

Your Treatment Journey
What to Expect
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or flick on the skin—thanks to our advanced cooling technology, it's very tolerable. Treatments take 15 to 60 minutes depending on the area, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
You may notice some temporary redness or mild swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. Over the following weeks, treated hair will gradually shed as new growth becomes finer and sparser.
