DPC Laser Hair Removal in Toronto, ON
Discover a World Without Waxing, Plucking, or Shaving
The average person shaves over 7,718 times in their lifetime. Let that sink in. Between razor burns, ingrown hairs, and the constant cycle of regrowth, unwanted hair isn’t just inconvenient; it’s exhausting. Maybe you’ve tried everything: painful waxing appointments, irritating creams, razors that leave stubble by dinner. You’re tired of temporary fixes that never actually solve the problem.
What makes us different at Vertex Aesthetics is that we don’t do quick fixes or promises we can’t keep. We take time to understand your skin, your hair growth patterns, and what’s realistically achievable for you. Because your genetics, hormones, and skin type play a role in how hair grows and responds to treatment. There’s a reason our patients see results after trying laser elsewhere without success.
You’ll leave knowing exactly why we’re recommending what we’re suggesting, without feeling like just another appointment. You’ll understand how the treatment works, why multiple sessions aren’t a sales tactic but actual biology, and what results you can realistically expect. We’re here to solve the problem correctly, even if that means telling you when laser hair removal isn’t your best option.

Unwanted hair on any body area requiring constant, frustrating maintenance
Persistent ingrown hairs and razor bumps, particularly in sensitive areas
Coarse, resistant hair that grows back quickly despite regular removal
Time-consuming removal routines that interfere with your life
Skin damage from repeated waxing or shaving, hyperpigmentation, scarring, or irritation
Hormonal hair growth conditions like PCOS that cause excessive or unexpected hair growth
Hair grows in three cycles: active growth, transition, and resting. Only 20-30% of your hair is in the active phase at any time, which is why multiple sessions spaced weeks apart are necessary for comprehensive, lasting results. There’s no shortcut to this biological process.
Here are factors that influence your treatment outcomes:
- Genetics and Ethnicity
Determine hair color, thickness, and growth patterns that affect response to treatment.
- Hormonal Fluctuations
PCOS, thyroid conditions, pregnancy, or medications can trigger increased hair growth.
- Hair and Skin Color Contrast
- Previous Hair Removal Methods
Waxing or plucking removes follicles temporarily, which interferes with the laser if done too close to the treatment.
- Treatment Area Characteristics
Coarse, dark hair responds faster than fine, light hair; hormonal areas may need more sessions.
- Complete your digital consultation form with hair removal history, medical conditions, and medications
- Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before; hair should be short but visible
- Do NOT wax, pluck, thread, or use hair removal creams for at least 4 weeks prior
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment
- Arrive with clean skin free of lotions, deodorants, or products
- Apply a minimum of SPF 30+ daily to treated areas for at least two weeks
- Avoid heat activities, including intense exercise, saunas, and hot showers, for 24-48 hours
- Keep skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free products
- Shave if needed between sessions, absolutely no waxing or plucking during treatment series
- Expect hair shedding over 1-2 weeks; this is normal and means it's working

We’re your biggest cheerleaders throughout this process. You’ll have our support between appointments, answers to your questions without making you feel lost, and adjustments if your needs change.

If it is, we’ll create a skin program that solves the problem long-term, not temporarily masks it.

FAQs
Most patients describe it as a quick, momentary tingling or warm snap lasting 1-2 seconds per pulse. It’s significantly less painful than waxing. Sensitivity varies by area; bikinis or underarms feel slightly more intense than legs or arms. Our DPC technology minimizes discomfort, and most find it very manageable.
Hair grows in three cycles, and a laser destroys follicles only during active growth, when melanin is present. Only 20-30% of your hair is in this phase at any time. We space treatments 4-12 weeks apart to catch different follicles as they enter their growth phase. This ensures a comprehensive, lasting reduction. There’s no shortcut to this biological process.
No. Waxing removes the entire follicle from the root, which is what the laser needs to target. You must wait at least 4 weeks for regrowth before treatment. You can shave during this time; shaving only removes surface hair, leaving the follicle intact.
Yes, our DPC technology is safe for skin types I to V when assessed and treated correctly. However, we do not recommend it for type VI, especially for darker skin tones. It’s essential to adjust the settings properly to ensure safety and effectiveness.
When you’re ready to solve unwanted hair permanently, you deserve a clinic that respects you enough to tell the truth, even when the truth is that you’ll need more sessions than you hoped, or that results take time, or that no magic discount makes biology work faster.
At Vertex Aesthetics, we’ve built our reputation on proper assessment, Health Canada-licensed technology, and treating clients the way we’d want to be treated. Your consultation is an honest conversation about what’s realistic for your specific situation. We’re here to solve the problem correctly, support you throughout the process, and earn your trust through results, not marketing hype.
