I am a trained, certified, and licensed laser technician, and my goal is to offer laser services that are safe, affordable, and fully personalized to each client. If you are considering laser treatments, you are welcome to book a free, no-pressure consultation, where I take the time to answer your questions and help you decide whether laser hair removal is right for you.
For laser hair removal, the laser light targets the melanin pigment in the hair, which absorbs the laser light and converts it into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. After each laser treatment, the hairs may shed or grow back finer with slower regrowth over time.
I use a Sharplight Rapid DPC device which is Health Canada and FDA approved. This technology features a Sapphire cooling tip that cools the skin before, during, and after each pulse of light, helping keep treatments comfortable throughout the session. Sharplight’s proprietary Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) technology allows for precise customization of treatment settings based on your skin type, hair color, and how your skin responds over time.
Each appointment is carefully tailored to account for differences in hair thickness, hair color, and treatment areas, as well as the natural changes that occur throughout your treatment plan. This individualized approach helps deliver more effective results in fewer sessions. The Sharplight Rapid DPC is a non-invasive, non-ionizing laser that has been clinically proven to be safe and effective, with over 100 million treatments performed worldwide.
This page provides detailed information about laser hair removal, IPL photofacials and pigmentation removal, laser safety for men, FAQs, and what to expect during your consultation and treatments.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a proven method of achieving long-term hair reduction on almost all areas of the body. When performed using advanced technology and customized settings, it offers effective results with a high level of safety and comfort.
My laser system features a sapphire cooling tip that cools the skin before, during, and after each pulse of light. This helps protect the skin and makes treatments much more comfortable compared to traditional hair removal methods.
Laser hair removal can also save you time and money compared to shaving, sugaring, or waxing. Over the course of a typical treatment series, the total cost is often comparable to approximately two to two and a half times what you might spend on regular sugaring or waxing during the same period. However, laser hair removal offers longer-lasting results, reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
After completing a treatment series, many clients notice smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs, reduced irritation, and less razor burn or waxing-related bumps.
Most people experience little to no downtime, allowing them to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Laser Hair Removal for Men and Women
At Lendrum Sugaring and Laser, I provide laser hair removal services in Edmonton for men and women, treating most areas of the body from the forehead to the feet, including intimate areas. Each treatment is approached professionally, discreetly, and with respect for your comfort and privacy.
Laser Hair Removal For Men:
Laser hair removal is increasingly popular among men who want a cleaner look, reduced irritation, and less time spent shaving.
Common treatment areas include the back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms, neck, and intimate areas
Laser hair removal can help reduce ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and skin irritation caused by frequent shaving
I have over nine years of experience providing sugaring hair removal for men, and over four years of experience providing laser hair removal for men, including treatments for sensitive and private areas
Treatments are performed in a professional, judgment-free environment — your comfort and dignity are always a priority
For men who shave frequently, the cost and time commitment can add up quickly. For example, daily facial shaving over many years often involves ongoing expenses for razors and products, as well as repeated skin irritation. Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution that significantly reduces the need for constant maintenance.
Laser Hair Removal For Women:
Women choose laser hair removal for a variety of reasons, including convenience, comfort, and smoother skin.
Popular treatment areas include the bikini area, underarms, lower legs, and face
Bikini treatments are commonly chosen for aesthetic reasons, improved hygiene, or to reduce razor burn and ingrown hairs
Underarms are a popular option for those who want the freedom to wear sleeveless clothing without worrying about frequent shaving
Laser hair removal can help create smoother skin with less irritation compared to shaving or waxing
For women who regularly receive sugaring or waxing services, the long-term costs can be significant. Over several years, repeated treatments can exceed the cost of a laser hair removal treatment series, while laser offers longer-lasting hair reduction and reduced maintenance over time.
Laser Hair Removal Pricing
Pricing varies by treatment area. I offer transparent, competitive pricing for both men and women.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a light-based treatment used to improve skin tone and texture, including reducing fine lines and enlarged pores. It also reduces pigmentation such as sun damage and brown spots. IPL photofacial works by targeting pigment-producing cells while gently heating the skin to stimulate collagen production, helping to break up darker pigmentation, improve texture, and promote a smoother, more even complexion.
For stubborn or deeper pigmentation, Pigmentation Spot Removal treatments are also available. These treatments use deeper wavelengths to more effectively target dark age spots, liver spots, and sun-damaged skin. Pigmentation spot removal can be performed on its own or combined with an IPL photofacial, depending on your skin and treatment goals.
IPL photofacials are typically performed in 30-minute sessions, with treatments spaced approximately one month apart. The light energy is powerful enough to reach deeper layers of the skin while remaining gentle on the surface, helping to minimize swelling, redness, and irritation. Because IPL uses broad-spectrum light rather than a concentrated laser beam, it is considered a lower-risk option for skin rejuvenation.
Most clients experience little to no downtime following IPL treatments. If side effects occur, they are usually limited to mild redness or temporary skin sensitivity. This makes IPL an appealing alternative to more aggressive skin treatments, such as deep chemical peels, which can involve extended recovery time and visible skin flaking.
During a consultation, I assess your skin and goals to determine whether IPL photofacial or pigmentation spot removal treatments are right for you.
IPL Photofacial and Pigmentation Removal
Is laser hair removal safe for men?
Yes, laser hair removal is safe for men when performed by a trained technician using approved technology and appropriate settings. I have nearly a decade of experience providing sugaring hair removal for men and four years of experience providing laser hair removal for men, including sensitive and intimate areas. Treatments are performed professionally, discreetly, and with your comfort in mind.
What areas can be treated?
Laser hair removal can be performed on most areas of the body, including the face and all intimate areas. Treatments are not performed on the eyelids or over tattooed skin. IPL Photofacial and Pigmentation Spot Removal can be done on the face, neck, decollete, lower arms and hands.
What can I expect at my consultation?
Your free laser consultation ensures that laser hair removal is safe, effective, and appropriate for you. During your consultation, you can expect:
A clear explanation of the laser treatment process and time to ask any questions
Completion of a medical and health history form
Guidance on pre- and post-treatment care
A skin typing assessment to determine the safe initial treatment settings
Laser spot testing to confirm the most effective and safe treatment settings
Consultations typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of areas you are considering for treatment.
What can I expect at treatment?
Before your treatment, you will need to shave the area within 24 hours.
During the session:
I will set the laser according to the settings determined during your consultation and spot test
The device cools your skin, delivers the laser pulse, then cools again
Each treatment is customized for your skin and hair type based on how your skin responds
Treatment times vary depending on the area:
Upper lip: ~5 minutes
Brazilian: ~25 minutes
Lower legs: ~35 minutes
Most clients experience little to no side effects or downtime.
Each treatment is customized based on your skin and hair type and how your skin responds to the laser. Laser hair removal pricing.
Can laser hair removal treat all skin types?
Laser hair removal can be performed on all skin types, but not all devices can treat every skin type safely.
The Sharplight Rapid DPC device I use safely treats skin types 1–5. Skin type 6 (the darkest skin tone) requires a device specifically designed for higher melanin levels. Skin typing is assessed during your consultation to ensure safe treatment.
You can learn more about me and my credentials on the About page.
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Hair follicles that are successfully destroyed during treatment are unable to produce new hair.
However, the human body contains dormant hair follicles that can be activated later due to hormonal changes, genetics, certain medical conditions, or medications. Because of this, some clients may choose occasional maintenance treatments to maintain their results.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal is generally very comfortable with the device I use. The Sharplight Rapid DPC features a sapphire cooling tip that cools the skin before, during, and after each pulse of light, helping to keep treatments comfortable throughout the session.
If any area feels more sensitive, I adjust the treatment settings immediately to reduce discomfort while still delivering effective results. Because each treatment is customized to your skin, hair type, and how your body responds, most clients experience only mild tingling rather than discomfort.
How many laser hair removal sessions are needed?
Most clients require 6–10 treatments to achieve approximately 85–90% long-term hair reduction.
Treatment spacing depends on the area being treated, since hair grows at different rates:
Facial areas are typically treated every 4–6 weeks
Bikini areas are typically treated every 6–8 weeks
Torso and limbs are typically treated every 8-10 weeks
