Laser Hair Removal & Laser Treatments in Côte Saint-Luc, Montreal

Laser hair removal is an aesthetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to target and destroy hair follicles beneath the skin's surface. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light, which converts to heat and damages the follicle, inhibiting future regrowth. It is the most effective and lasting method for permanent reduction of unwanted hair.

At Réhabital clinic in Côte Saint-Luc, we use SharpLight's Rapid DPC Pro, a latest-generation Israeli technology that combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and diode laser. This system effectively treats all skin types, including darker skin tones (phototypes I to VI), thanks to its multiple wavelengths and integrated cooling system that protects the epidermis during treatment.

Unlike shaving, waxing or electric epilators that offer temporary results, laser hair removal targets the hair directly at the root during its active growth phase (anagen phase). That's why multiple sessions are needed — each session treats hairs in this active phase, and since not all hairs are synchronized, a cycle of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally recommended to achieve 80 to 95% hair reduction.

Laser hair removal suits women and men of all ages who wish to get rid of unwanted hair permanently. It is especially popular among people tired of repetitive shaving or waxing, those suffering from ingrown hairs or folliculitis, athletes seeking smooth skin, and professionals wanting a polished appearance without daily maintenance.

The most requested areas for women include the Brazilian bikini line, legs, underarms, upper lip and chin. For men, popular areas are the back, chest, shoulders, neck and beard. Our SharpLight Rapid DPC Pro technology can treat all body areas, from the smallest (upper lip) to the largest (full legs).

Safety is our absolute priority. The SharpLight Rapid DPC Pro is a certified medical device, approved by Health Canada and FDA, used in thousands of clinics worldwide. Our laser technician is trained and certified for the use of this specific technology.

Before any treatment, a free consultation and skin patch test are performed to evaluate your skin type, hair color and determine optimal parameters for your treatment. This personalized assessment ensures effective results while minimizing risks. Contraindications include pregnancy, certain photosensitizing medications and recent tanning.

The effectiveness of laser hair removal is solidly documented by clinical research. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology confirmed that diode laser and IPL offer a permanent hair reduction of 70 to 95% after a cycle of 6 to 8 sessions. The SharpLight Rapid DPC Pro technology we use in Côte Saint-Luc combines both approaches for optimal results on all skin phototypes.

For skin rejuvenation, studies published in Dermatologic Surgery demonstrated that intense pulsed light treatments stimulate type I and III collagen production, visibly improving skin texture, elasticity and luminosity. Laser vascular treatments have a 75 to 90% success rate for reducing telangiectasias (facial spider veins) and rosacea, according to research published in the British Journal of Dermatology.

These scientific results confirm that laser hair removal and aesthetic laser treatments are medically validated, safe and effective procedures when performed by trained professionals with certified equipment — exactly what we offer at Réhabital clinic in Montreal.
