Laser Hair Removal Face East York Toronto
Angelite Esthetics in East York, Toronto, provides professional full body laser hair removal using the Athena Super ICE 808nm diode laser — a medical-grade system safe for all skin tones. Shivani Talwar, a certified medical esthetician, performs every session personally at 2217 Danforth Avenue.
About Full Body Laser Hair Removal
Full body laser is a comprehensive package covering all major areas in a coordinated treatment plan. Shivani stages the areas to treat them in the optimal order and session schedule.
How the Athena Super ICE Works on Full Body
The Athena Super ICE uses three wavelengths simultaneously — 755nm, 808nm and 1064nm. This triple-wavelength approach targets follicles at multiple depths, making it effective for different hair types and safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI (all skin tones including South Asian, Black and Middle Eastern skin).
The built-in sapphire contact cooling chills the skin surface to 4°C throughout the treatment. Full body treatment is done in phases — not all areas in one session.
What to Expect: Session by Session
| Session | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Session 1 | Baseline assessment, first pass — some immediate shedding begins |
| Sessions 2–4 | Hair noticeably sparser; shedding 7–14 days post-session |
| Sessions 5–6 | 60–70% reduction; sessions shorter as less hair remains |
| Sessions 7–8+ | Targeting remaining fine hairs and any regrowth |
Preparing for Your Full Body Laser Session
- Shave the area 12–24 hours before (never wax — the follicle must be intact)
- No sun exposure or self-tanner for 2 weeks before
- Arrive with clean, product-free skin on the treatment area
- Skip retinol or AHA products for 5 days before
Aftercare for Full Body
- Apply aloe vera gel or cold compress if the area is warm or red after treatment
- No gym, sauna or hot shower for 24 hours
- SPF 30+ on any treated area exposed to sun
- Hair will shed over 7–14 days — this is normal, do not wax or pick

Facial Laser Hair Removal — Area Guide & Session Count
| Area | Sessions (lighter skin I-III) | Sessions (darker skin IV-VI) | Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper lip | 6–8 | 8–12 | 4–6 weeks |
| Chin | 6–8 | 8–12 | 4–6 weeks |
| Jawline / sideburns | 6–8 | 8–12 | 4–6 weeks |
| Full face | 6–10 | 10–14 | 4–6 weeks |
Clients with PCOS or hormonal facial hair growth typically require more sessions — plan for the higher end of the range. Hormonal sessions may also require more frequent maintenance sessions (1–2 per year) after the initial course completes.
Is Facial Laser Safe for All Skin Tones?
Yes — with the right laser. The Athena Super ICE 808nm diode laser used at Angelite Esthetics is rated Fitzpatrick I–VI and includes a dual-wavelength 808nm + 1064nm option for darker skin tones. This is important for East York’s diverse population.
On darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), settings are calibrated conservatively with lower fluence and more sessions are needed as a result. This is the safe approach — the alternative (pushing high fluence on darker skin) risks burns and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Preparing for Facial Laser — Special Considerations
Facial laser requires extra care vs body laser because: (1) the skin is thinner and more sensitive; (2) the face is constantly sun-exposed; (3) makeup use can complicate healing. Shivani at Angelite reviews all skincare products before your facial laser session — retinoids, AHAs, and prescription creams must be paused for at least 1 week before.
Women with hormonal hair growth (PCOS, thyroid issues) may need more sessions on the face than the standard 6–8. Hormonal factors cause hair follicles to be reactivated by androgens, requiring periodic maintenance even after a complete course.
