How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser hair removal works by emitting highly concentrated light energy (known as intense pulse lighting) into the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The surrounding skin remains unharmed during the process. At Total Wrapture, built-in device cooling ensures the treatment stays comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my laser hair removal appointment?
Prior to your laser hair removal appointment, avoid sun exposure, tanning (including tanning beds, spray tan and self-tanner), as well as plucking, sugaring, or waxing the target area. Shave the area within 24h (the closer the better) before the treatment. If necessary, we offer an add-on shaving service.
Here are additional post-service instructions you will receive:
- Advise your Total Wrapture laser technician of all over-the-counter or prescription drugs that you are currently taking.
- Treatments can only be performed two weeks after completion of an antibiotic.
- Refrain from using any topical medication, exfoliating creams (such as retinol, AHA/BHAs, hydroquinone etc.), or active creams such as depilatory creams in the area to be treated.
Day of treatment:
- Remove any make-up, lotion, perfume, or deodorant from the area to be treated and wash and shave it with a razor.
- Do not take ibuprofen on the day of your treatment.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.
How long does laser hair removal take?
The duration of a laser hair removal session depends on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas such as the upper lip or underarms may take only a few minutes, while larger areas such as the legs or back may require around 30 minutes to an hour.
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
Multiple treatments are typically required for long-lasting results in laser hair removal. The exact number of sessions varies based on your unique skin factors such as hair type, skin tone, and the targeted area. On average, a series of 6 to 8 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for long-lasting hair reduction.
What is laser hair removal aftercare?
The treated area should be kept out of the sun for 4 weeks and you should avoid exercising and saunas for forty-eight hours after your treatment. If any treated area is momentarily exposed to the sun, be sure to apply sunscreen to it ahead of time.
Otherwise, there is no downtime after laser hair removal! Due to this, it is a popular, quick, lunchtime treatment to get and you can go right back to your day.
What is Brazilian Laser Hair Removal?
Brazilian laser hair removal refers to the permanent removal of hair in the area of the bikini, labia, scrotum, and anus. The term “Brazilian” originated from the popularization of this hair removal style in Brazil, where it gained popularity due to a prevalent beach-going lifestyle.
Brazilian laser hair removal is suitable for individuals of all genders. Your Total Wrapture laser technician is experienced with performing Brazilian laser hair removal on everyone and will put you at ease for this quick treatment.

Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal?
At Total Wrapture, our CynoSure laser hair removal is for all skin types and most hair colours. Your experienced laser technician will assess your suitability for the treatment during your complimentary consultation, providing personalized recommendations just for you.
What does laser hair removal feel like?
Laser hair removal may cause a mild warming sensation or a sensation similar to a single-second rubber band snapping. Our laser hair removal guests find it to be more comfortable than waxing or sugaring, but individual sensitivity can vary. Our advanced CynoSure system incorporates built-in cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Does laser hair removal save money?
Given the long-lasting effect of laser hair removal, you are likely saving quite a bit in the long run. The average person spends about $300 annually on budget shaving supplies. You tend to spend more than this amount if you buy name-brand or quality shaving supplies. These prices reflect 2021 pricing, and shaving supplies likely cost more today.
Additionally, most people who receive waxing or sugaring services spend about $1000/year when you add it all up. Most people who receive waxing or sugaring services report that they also shave at home in other parts of the face and body.
This brings the annual, temporary hair removal spend up to $1300.
Over the course of 5 years, you are spending $1500 on shaving supplies and $5000 on waxing or sugaring. Or, if you are like a lot of people who combine both, that’s $6500 spent on temporary hair removal every 5 years!
Then, let’s factor in time. A complete laser hair removal treatment plan lasts for approximately 6-8 sessions (about one a month) of 30-60 minutes each. That’s a total commitment of 3-8 hours for very long-lasting hair removal! After that, some people come in for about 1 maintenance session a year (30-60 minutes) to maintain results.
In contrast, the average person spends 17-52 hours a year just shaving legs…and that’s if you only shave twice a week! People spend 18-60 hours a year shaving their face and 10-22 hours a year shaving underarms.
Compared to a 3-8 hour commitment to long-lasting hair removal…you do the math!
Is there any downtime after laser hair removal?
There is typically no significant downtime after laser hair removal. Some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild irritation in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours.
The treated area should be kept out of the sun for 4 weeks and you should avoid exercising and saunas for forty-eight hours after your treatment. If any treated area is momentarily exposed to the sun, be sure to apply sunscreen to it ahead of time.
Otherwise, there is no downtime after laser hair removal! Due to this, it is a popular, quick, lunchtime treatment to get and you can go right back to your day.
What happens after laser hair removal?
After each laser treatment, it will take a couple of weeks for your hair to fall out. You’ll notice it getting lighter and sparser after each passing treatment. Eventually, your hair follicles will be completely inhibited and there will be little to no hair growth.
What should I do after my laser hair removal service?
After your laser hair removal treatment, you may notice that your hair is still present, but it will shed within approximately 2 weeks. In the meantime, feel free to shave the treated areas as needed.
- Refrain from waxing or tweezing between your laser hair removal appointments. Your next treatment will be booked for a strategic date to catch any remaining regrowth in the most vulnerable stage of its growth. Tweezing, plucking, or sugaring will lessen the effectiveness of your treatment.
- For the next 48 hours after your treatment, avoid sun exposure, hot tubs, saunas, exercise, massages, and wearing tight clothing.
- Use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on a daily basis. Protecting your skin from the sun’s rays is essential for maintaining the best results.
