What Sets Us Apart

Why Calgary Women Choose Lavish Beauty for Laser Hair Removal

When you search for laser hair removal in Calgary, you will find dozens of clinics. So why do over 500 women rate Lavish Beauty 4.9 out of 5 stars on Google? It comes down to technology, expertise, and an environment built entirely around women's comfort and results.

Most laser clinics in Calgary own a single laser device that works well on some skin tones but not others. At Lavish Beauty, we invested in two of the world's most advanced laser platforms — the Candela GentleMax Pro and the InMode DiolazeXL — so we can customize every treatment to your unique skin tone, hair colour, and body area. That dual-laser advantage means faster treatments, better results, and safety for every Fitzpatrick skin type from I to VI.

Advanced Technology

Our Laser Technology: GentleMax Pro & DiolazeXL

At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, we believe that the quality of your laser determines the quality of your results. That is why we invested in not one, but two of the most powerful and proven laser hair removal systems available anywhere in the world. Our dual-laser approach means we never have to compromise — we always have the right tool for the job, regardless of your skin tone, hair type, or treatment area.

The Gold Standard

Candela GentleMax Pro

Considered the gold standard in medical-grade laser hair removal worldwide, the GentleMax Pro combines two wavelengths in a single device:

  • 755nm Alexandrite Laser: Optimal for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III). Delivers exceptional speed and efficacy on fine and coarse hair alike.
  • 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser: Specifically designed for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). The longer wavelength bypasses epidermal melanin, targeting only the hair follicle for safe, effective treatment on dark skin.
  • Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD): Sprays a burst of cryogen milliseconds before each pulse, protecting the skin surface and making treatments virtually painless.

Speed & Power

InMode DiolazeXL

The DiolazeXL is one of the most powerful and fastest diode lasers available, designed for maximum efficiency on larger treatment areas:

  • 810nm Diode Wavelength: Highly effective for a broad range of skin tones and hair types. The diode wavelength penetrates deep into the follicle for thorough treatment.
  • Largest Spot Size in Its Class: Covers more skin per pulse than almost any other laser on the market. Full legs and full back treatments become significantly faster.
  • Built-In Sapphire Cooling Tip: Provides continuous contact cooling throughout the treatment, keeping the skin comfortable even at higher energy levels for better results.

Why a Dual-Laser Approach Matters

No single laser is perfect for every skin tone, hair colour, and body area. By combining the GentleMax Pro and DiolazeXL, our Calgary clinic can match the ideal laser, wavelength, and settings to your unique needs. Lighter skin with fine hair? Alexandrite. Dark skin with coarse hair? Nd:YAG. Large area that needs speed? DiolazeXL. This level of customization is rare among Calgary laser hair removal clinics and is a key reason our clients see superior results with fewer sessions.

Inclusive & Safe

Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin Tones in Calgary

Finding a laser hair removal clinic in Calgary that safely treats dark skin can be challenging. Many clinics use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices or single-wavelength lasers that are not suitable for higher Fitzpatrick skin types. Using the wrong device on dark skin can result in burns, hyperpigmentation, or ineffective treatment. At Lavish Beauty, we have specifically invested in technology that changes this.

Our Candela GentleMax Pro's 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength is specifically engineered for darker skin tones. This longer wavelength penetrates deeper into the dermis, bypassing the melanin in the epidermis (the outer layer of skin) to target only the melanin concentrated in the hair follicle itself. This means effective hair destruction without damaging the surrounding darker skin.

We treat clients of South Asian, Black, Middle Eastern, East Asian, Latin, Indigenous, and mixed heritage backgrounds every single day at our Calgary clinic. Our technicians are specifically trained in adjusting laser parameters — fluence, pulse duration, and spot size — for each skin tone to maximize efficacy while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Your Journey

What to Expect: Laser Hair Removal at Lavish Beauty Calgary

1

Free Consultation

Your journey begins with a complimentary, no-obligation consultation at our Calgary clinic. We assess your skin type using the Fitzpatrick scale, examine the treatment area, discuss your goals and medical history, and create a personalized treatment plan. We will explain which laser we recommend for your skin tone and give you a clear cost estimate with no surprises.

2

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before your appointment, shave the treatment area 24-48 hours in advance. Do not wax, pluck, or thread, as the laser needs the hair root intact. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for two weeks. Discontinue retinol one week before. Arrive with clean, dry skin free of lotions and deodorant on the treatment area.

3

Your Treatment Session

Your technician selects the appropriate laser and calibrates settings for your skin and hair type. The GentleMax Pro's Dynamic Cooling Device or the DiolazeXL's sapphire cooling tip keeps you comfortable throughout. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap. Small areas like upper lip take 5-10 minutes, while full body sessions take 60-90 minutes.

4

Post-Treatment Care

Immediately after, you may notice mild redness similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours. Avoid heat, sweating, hot showers, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours. Apply aloe vera or the soothing products we recommend. Treated hair will begin shedding naturally within 1-3 weeks.

5

Follow-Up Sessions

Return every 4-6 weeks for your next session. Each treatment targets a new cycle of hair growth, progressively reducing hair density. After 6-8 sessions, most clients achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction. Some areas may need occasional maintenance sessions once or twice a year.

Treatment Timeline

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do You Need?

The number one question we hear at our Calgary clinic is: "How many sessions will it take?" The answer depends on several factors, but most clients achieve optimal results in 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Here is why multiple sessions are necessary: hair grows in three phases — anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). The laser can only effectively target hair during the anagen phase, when the hair is actively connected to the follicle and contains the most melanin. At any given time, only about 20-30% of your hair is in the anagen phase. Multiple sessions, spaced weeks apart, ensure we catch each follicle during its active growth cycle.

Typical Session Guidelines by Area

Upper Lip & Chin
6-8 sessions

Every 4 weeks

Underarms
6-8 sessions

Every 4-5 weeks

Bikini / Brazilian
6-8 sessions

Every 5-6 weeks

Full Legs
6-8 sessions

Every 6 weeks

Full Arms
6-8 sessions

Every 5-6 weeks

Full Back
6-8 sessions

Every 6 weeks

Factors that influence the number of sessions include hair colour (darker hair responds faster), hair thickness, hormonal conditions like PCOS, the treatment area, and your skin tone. During your free consultation at our Calgary clinic, we will give you a personalized estimate based on your specific situation.

After completing your initial treatment series, most clients enjoy long-lasting smoothness with only occasional maintenance sessions — typically once or twice a year — to address any hormonal regrowth. Compared to a lifetime of shaving every few days or waxing every month, laser hair removal is a time and cost investment that pays for itself many times over.

Common Questions

Laser Hair Removal Calgary: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does laser hair removal cost in Calgary?+
At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, laser hair removal prices start at just $25 for small areas like the upper lip or chin. Popular areas include underarms at $85, Brazilian at $150, full legs at $200, and full body at $499 per session. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and our loyalty program locks in your rate for life so your price never increases.
Is laser hair removal permanent?+
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction rather than absolute permanent removal. After completing a full series of 6-8 treatments at our Calgary clinic, most clients experience 80-90% hair reduction that lasts for years. Some fine or hormonal hair may regrow over time, which can be addressed with occasional maintenance sessions once or twice a year. The results are dramatically superior to shaving, waxing, or any other temporary method.
Does laser hair removal work on dark skin?+
Yes, absolutely. At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, we specialize in laser hair removal for all skin tones, including dark and deeply pigmented skin (Fitzpatrick types IV, V, and VI). Our GentleMax Pro features a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser wavelength specifically designed for darker skin tones, bypassing the melanin in the skin to target only the hair follicle. Our DiolazeXL also treats darker complexions safely. Many Calgary clinics cannot offer this, making Lavish Beauty one of the few that truly serves every skin tone.
How many sessions of laser hair removal do I need?+
Most clients at our Calgary clinic need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target follicles during the active growth phase (anagen phase). Multiple sessions ensure we treat each follicle during its growth cycle. The exact number depends on the treatment area, hair thickness, hair colour, skin tone, and hormonal factors. During your free consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan.
Is laser hair removal painful?+
At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, most clients describe our laser treatments as surprisingly comfortable. The GentleMax Pro features a built-in Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) that sprays a burst of cryogen milliseconds before each laser pulse, protecting the skin and minimizing discomfort. The DiolazeXL has one of the largest built-in cooling tips in the industry. Most clients say it feels like a quick, warm snap, far less painful than waxing. Sensitive areas like the Brazilian may feel slightly more intense, but the cooling technology makes a significant difference.
What is the difference between GentleMax Pro and DiolazeXL?+
The GentleMax Pro by Candela is a dual-wavelength laser combining the 755nm Alexandrite laser (ideal for lighter skin) and the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser (ideal for darker skin). It features Dynamic Cooling Device technology for comfort. The DiolazeXL by InMode is a powerful diode laser with one of the largest treatment spot sizes in the industry, allowing for faster treatments on large areas like legs and back. At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, we use both lasers to customize treatment to each client's unique skin tone, hair type, and treatment area for the best possible results.
Why choose a women-exclusive laser hair removal clinic?+
Lavish Beauty is Calgary's premier women-exclusive med spa, and there are meaningful reasons many women prefer this environment. A women-only setting provides a heightened sense of privacy and comfort, especially for intimate treatments like Brazilian laser hair removal. Our entire team understands the unique needs and concerns of women's skin and hair removal. Many of our clients tell us they feel more relaxed, can ask questions more freely, and enjoy the supportive atmosphere that a women-exclusive clinic provides.
How do I prepare for laser hair removal?+
To prepare for your laser hair removal appointment at Lavish Beauty in Calgary: shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your session (do not wax, pluck, or thread, as the laser needs the hair root intact). Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior. Discontinue self-tanners and retinol products one week before. Arrive with clean, dry skin free of lotions, deodorant, or makeup on the treatment area. Avoid caffeine on the day of treatment if you are sensitive. We provide detailed pre-care instructions at your consultation.
What is the best laser for hair removal in Calgary?+
The Candela GentleMax Pro is widely considered the gold standard in medical-grade laser hair removal worldwide. Its dual-wavelength technology (755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG) makes it the most versatile laser available, treating all skin tones from the fairest to the darkest safely and effectively. Paired with the InMode DiolazeXL for speed on large areas, Lavish Beauty in Calgary offers a dual-laser approach that most clinics simply cannot match. This is why we consistently deliver superior results across all skin types.
How long does a laser hair removal session take?+
Session length depends on the treatment area. Small areas like the upper lip or chin take just 5-10 minutes. Underarms take approximately 15 minutes. Brazilian treatments take 20-30 minutes. Full legs take about 45 minutes. A full body session is typically completed in about 60-90 minutes. Our DiolazeXL's large spot size allows us to treat large areas significantly faster than many other Calgary clinics.
