What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses concentrated light to target the pigment in hair follicles, damaging them so hair grows back finer, sparser, and eventually not at all in treated areas. Because the laser only affects follicles in their active growth phase, a course of multiple sessions is needed to catch every hair. The result is long-term hair reduction that replaces the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and ingrown hairs.
At Mosaic Hair Salon & Medical Spa in Ottawa, laser hair removal is overseen by Heather, our Medical Aesthetician & Wellness Specialist, and covers 18 body areas, from upper lip and chin to underarms, bikini, Brazilian, and full legs. Per-session pricing starts at $65, and every area is also available as a 3-session package that saves roughly 15%. A consultation always comes first, so settings are matched to your skin tone and hair type.
Ottawa clients choose laser over repeat waxing for a simple reason: the math. A full leg wax repeats every few weeks forever, while a completed laser course means most of that hair simply stops coming back. Treatments are quick, the sensation is a brief snap rather than a sustained pull, and there are no ingrown hairs afterwards. Winter is an ideal time to start, since treated skin needs to stay out of strong sun.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in Ottawa?
Laser hair removal at Mosaic is priced per area, per session, with 3-session packages that save about 15%. Small facial areas are the most affordable: upper lip is $65 per session ($166 for 3 sessions) and chin, cheeks, or sideburns are $70 ($179 for 3). Underarms and bikini are each $100 per session ($255 for 3), Brazilian is $200 ($510 for 3), and larger areas scale up to full leg at $400 per session ($1,020 for 3). Your consultation confirms the exact plan before anything is booked.
What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment
Consultation & Assessment
Every laser plan starts with a consultation. We review your skin tone, hair colour and thickness, medications, and recent sun exposure, then confirm which areas are suitable and what realistic results look like for you. This step is required for all laser treatments, and it is where we set honest expectations about how many sessions your hair will need.
Prepping Your Skin
You will shave the treatment area within a day of your appointment so the laser energy reaches the follicle instead of singeing hair above the skin. Avoid waxing, plucking, and sun exposure in the weeks before treatment, since the laser needs the hair root present and works most safely on untanned skin.
The Treatment Session
During the session, the laser handpiece moves across the area in quick pulses. Most clients describe each pulse as a hot snap, like an elastic band, that fades immediately. Small areas like the upper lip take only minutes, while full legs take longer. Settings are adjusted to your comfort throughout.
Aftercare Between Sessions
Treated skin may look slightly pink for a few hours. You will avoid hot tubs, intense workouts, and direct sun briefly, and use sunscreen on exposed areas. Over the next two weeks, treated hairs shed on their own. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to catch new growth cycles.
Results Over the Course
Hair grows back visibly finer and patchier after each session, and most areas show major reduction as the course progresses. Most areas need 6-8 sessions for optimal results, which is why our 3-session packages, saving about 15%, are a practical way to start. Occasional touch-ups keep results smooth long-term.
Laser is where honesty matters most, so I start every client with a real consultation, not a sales pitch. I will tell you if your hair colour will not respond, how many sessions to genuinely expect, and which areas give the best value first. During treatment I adjust settings constantly for your comfort and your skin. Smooth results come from doing this carefully, every session.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Ottawa, laser hair removal is typically priced per body area, per session, and Mosaic follows the same model with transparent rates. Upper lip is $65 per session, chin, cheeks, or sideburns are $70, underarms and bikini are $100 each, Brazilian is $200, lower or upper leg is $220, and full leg is $400 per session. Every area also has a 3-session package saving about 15%, for example $166 for three upper lip sessions or $510 for three Brazilian sessions. Since most areas need 6-8 sessions in total, compare the total course cost when shopping around, not just the single-session price.
