The Essential Living Centre is home to Daniela Hoffman and Freedom Medi-Spa - a boutique style medi-spa offering laser hair removal and a host of other laser based services, including spider and leg vein treatment, as well as treatments for Sun Damage, Skin Pigmentation, Broken Capillaries,  and Non-Invasive Anti-Aging Treatments. For more info about Daniela, please see bio here. Our laser hair removal service is done with the Apogee Elite laser, a Gold Standard Medical Grade Laser. With this machine, we are able to treat all skin types including tanned skins without damaging the skin.We are also able to treat lighter skins and permanently destroy even light brown hair, where other machines cannot.

About tanned skin - No laser machine is able to treat hair that is lighter in colour than the skin. If this is the case for you, you need to lighten your skin to close to its natural colouring to have great results.

Notes about Treatment - You must shave the area being treated, one day prior.  This way the laser energy is not being wasted on destroying the hair, instead it is focusing on the root and papilla.  The papilla is what produces a root. And this is what we want to destroy.  When the hair is in the growth cycle (anagen stage), and has a brown/black bulbous root, the laser is attracted and heats up that root.  In doing so, the heat cauterizes the papilla, leaving it unable to receive nutrients from the blood stream and therefore unable to produce a new root/hair.

Treatments should follow a fairly strict schedule.  The goal is to perform all your treatments at a time when the hair is most likely to be in the growth stage.  This will deliver  the best result.   Generally facial treatments are 4-6 wks apart and body treatments are 6-10 wks apart.

Consultations are always complimentary. Call to schedule a test patch and to see if this is for you! Please contact Daniela at 416-455-8535 or visit www.freedommedispa.com to book an appointment.
