Unwanted facial and body hair
The shaving, waxing and threading cycle, and the regrowth that starts before you have finished.
Laser hair removal acts on hair in its active growth phase, which is why it is always a course rather than a single appointment: hairs cycle independently, so repeated sessions are what catch them at the right moment.
How we approach unwanted facial and body hair
Our platform combines three wavelengths, which lets a single pass address hair of different depths and coarseness and widens the range of skin tones that can be treated. Settings are reviewed at every session rather than fixed at the first.
Common signs of unwanted facial and body hair
- Regrowth within days of shaving
- Ingrown hairs after waxing or shaving
- Coarse hair on the face, neck or body
- Irritation from constant hair removal
See a physician first. Skinholic provides cosmetic treatments only and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If anything on your skin is changing, painful, bleeding or will not heal, please see your family doctor or a dermatologist first.
What can contribute to unwanted facial and body hair
- Genetics and hair type
- Hormonal factors, which your practitioner will ask about
- Hair removal methods that irritate the follicle
- Naturally coarse or dense growth
Treatments that may help
At our Aldergrove clinic, these may help.
Which one suits you depends on your skin, your history and how much recovery you can take. A practitioner confirms the fit in person.

Let a practitioner look first.
The right treatment depends on what is driving the concern for you. A free consultation in Aldergrove is where that gets worked out.

Matching the method to unwanted facial and body hair
For unwanted facial and body hair, your practitioner looks at the colour, coarseness and density of the hair alongside your skin tone, since wavelength choice matters on deeper skin tones. They will ask about regrowth within days of shaving, ingrown hairs, irritation from constant hair removal, and hormonal factors, which can change how many sessions an area needs. Very light hair is noted early, because conventional laser needs pigment in the hair to work.
Triple Wavelength LHR is chosen for coarse and fine hair across a range of skin tones, ingrown hairs from shaving and waxing, and stopping the shaving cycle, with settings reviewed at every session. Hair Blanching is chosen for blonde, grey, red or white hair and fine hair laser cannot target, aiming to make it less visible rather than removing it. Only actively growing hair responds to laser, so a course is always required.
What happens when you come in?
Your first visit is a free consultation at the Aldergrove clinic. A practitioner looks at the area in good light, asks how long you have noticed it and what you have already tried, and checks anything that would affect which treatments are suitable: medication, recent sun exposure, previous treatments.
You then hear which of the options above suits your skin, what it realistically achieves, how many sessions it usually takes and what recovery looks like. If the honest answer is that none of them will give you what you want, or that something needs a doctor first, you will hear that instead.
Worth mentioning at your consultation
- When you first noticed it, and whether it has changed since
- Products and treatments you have already tried
- Any medication, supplements or diagnosed skin conditions
- Holidays, events or sun exposure you are planning around
Before you book
Questions clients ask about unwanted facial and body hair.
Only actively growing hair responds, so a course is always required. The number varies by area, hair type and hormonal factors. Your practitioner gives a realistic range after assessing you.
Wavelength choice is what determines this, and a triple-wavelength platform gives your practitioner more to work with. Settings start conservative and a patch test may be used first.
Conventional laser hair removal needs pigment in the hair to work, so very light hair is a poor candidate. Hair blanching aims at making it less visible instead: a different goal, and we are clear about that.
