What is an IPL laser and why should I choose this treatment?
IPL laser is an intense pulsed light filtered through an engineered crystal, which varies in structure depending on the treatment. Different filters are required for each treatment: skin depth, wavelength and strength are all adjusted for individual clients and treatments. IPL is a form of permanent hair removal as opposed to other lasers focused simply on hair reduction. IPL penetrates deeper into layers of skin targeting hair roots which lie in the sub-dermal layers.
IPL is effective on dark and light skin tones and hair colour. The pulsed light targets the hair pigmentations and concentrates to destroy the hair follicle at the root. IPL does not work on grey hair as the hair has lost its pigmentation.

How many treatments will I need?
All treatments must be completed to experience long term permanent results. An average of 8 treatments are generally recommended. Individual treatment prices are available, although multiple treatments will most likely be required. Package offers are available at discounted prices. We take care of our clients and guarantee happiness with your results. If further treatment is necessary this will be at a substantially lower rate.

How does the treatment work?
Laser hair removal works as a permanent hair removal method once the roots have been targeted multiple times. Cycles of hair growth, combined with natural resilience of hair follicles, calls for an average of 8 treatments for a typical hair reduction of 70-99% in the affected area(s). Results vary for each individual due to hormonal and biological reasons and may require greater or fewer number of treatments.

Why should I choose Contour Laser and Skin Concepts?
The Lower Mainland and Surrey in particular has been subject to an increase in inexperienced, uneducated and sometimes careless laser hair removal businesses. Clients approach us regularly after trying out other laser centers and their major complaint is the lack of personal client needs and the general disregard for the client’s well-being and safety. At Contour Laser you are not just another paycheque, we value your skin and its safety. Over the years of having laser hair removal done our staff have personally heard negative experiences and sometimes permanent skin damage stories due to careless and uneducated laser technicians. Laser hair removal is a safe technique when applied correctly, but for many it has been a hazard to the skin leaving a select few with physical and mental scarring. Contour Laser is focused on giving personal, effective, safe and reliable skin care treatments.
