Treatment Overview

Section Separator Image

At NuDerma Laser Clinic in North Vancouver, we believe your skin deserves the highest standard of care and that includes freeing you from the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and threading once and for all. Our laser hair removal treatments are performed using the gold-standard Candela GentleMax Pro Plus and Cutera Excel HR dual-wavelength systems, trusted by leading dermatologists and aesthetic clinicians worldwide. Whether you are seeking silky-smooth legs, a flawless Brazilian, or a hair-free face, our certified laser specialists design a personalised treatment plan that delivers precise, lasting results with virtually no downtime and maximum comfort.

Laser hair removal works by delivering concentrated pulses of light energy directly into each hair follicle. The pigment (melanin) within the follicle absorbs this light, converting it to heat that permanently disrupts the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. Because human hair grows in three distinct cycles anagen (active), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) only follicles in the active anagen phase can be effectively targeted per session. This is why a series of 6 to 8 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is recommended to achieve comprehensive, long-lasting hair reduction across the entire treatment area.

What sets NuDerma apart is our commitment to technology that works for every skin type. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus features a dual-wavelength configuration 755nm Alexandrite for lighter skin tones and 1064nm Nd:YAG for medium to deeper complexions combined with a patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) that cryogenically cools the skin milliseconds before and after each laser pulse. The result is a safe, virtually pain-free treatment experience that delivers exceptional hair reduction without thermal damage to surrounding tissue. At NuDerma, every session is a blend of clinical excellence and genuine comfort.

A: Laser hair removal uses concentrated pulses of light to target and thermally disable hair follicles. At NuDerma, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus — a medical-grade dual-wavelength laser that delivers fast, safe, and permanent hair reduction for all skin types.

A: Most clients achieve optimal results with 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair colour, skin type, hormonal profile, and the area being treated. Your clinician will provide a personalised recommendation during your free consultation.

A: Laser hair removal provides long-term and, in most cases, permanent reduction. Some clients — particularly those with hormonal fluctuations — may benefit from occasional maintenance sessions once or twice a year to maintain their results.

A: Yes. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus features dual wavelengths — 755nm Alexandrite for lighter skin and 1064nm Nd:YAG for medium to darker skin tones — making it one of the safest and most effective systems available across the full Fitzpatrick scale.
A: Most clients describe the sensation as a brief, mild snap — similar to a light elastic band flick. The integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) sprays a cryogenic cooling burst before and after each laser pulse, significantly reducing discomfort and protecting the skin.

A: Treatment times vary by area: underarms 5–10 minutes, Brazilian 15 minutes, half legs 20–25 minutes, full legs 40–50 minutes, and full body 60–90 minutes. Our high-speed laser ensures efficient sessions without compromising results.

A: We treat virtually any area of the body, including face, neck, underarms, arms, chest, back, stomach, Brazilian, bikini line, legs, and feet. Both men and women are welcome.
A: Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, self-tanner, waxing, plucking, and retinoids for at least 2 weeks prior. Arrive with clean, product-free skin. Your clinician will provide full pre-care instructions at your consultation.
A: Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated area is normal and typically resolves within a few hours. Hair sheds gradually over 7 to 14 days. Avoid hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, and direct sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.

A: NuDerma uses the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus — widely considered the gold standard in laser hair removal. Our certified clinicians create personalised treatment plans, maintain strict safety protocols, and are committed to delivering visible, lasting results in a clean, welcoming, and professional environment in the heart of North Vancouver.
