Concerns Laser Hair Removal Treats
Unwanted Hair
Coarse terminal hair on the face, underarms, bikini, legs, back, or chest, including hormonally driven facial patterns from PCOS or perimenopause. The Cynosure Triton platform combines three wavelengths so settings can be calibrated per Fitzpatrick type, hair density, and area. Reduces hair density progressively across a full course, with most patients seeing permanent reduction after six to eight sessions and occasional maintenance for hormonally active patterns.
Treatments+
Wavelength selected per skin type: 755 nm Alexandrite for fair skin, 810 nm Diode for mixed tones, 1064 nm Nd:YAG for Fitzpatrick V to VI. Six to eight sessions four to eight weeks apart depending on area, with contact cooling on every pulse. Lower fluence on facial skin, test patches on darker tones when warranted, and conservative settings for ingrown-prone areas to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Causes+
Active growth-phase follicles cycle on a predictable timeline, which is why a single session never clears the whole area. About twenty to twenty-five percent of follicles sit in the active phase at any time, and a full course catches the rest as they cycle through. Hormonal shifts during PCOS, perimenopause, or certain medications can keep new follicles activating, which is why annual maintenance is often part of the long-term plan for facial patterns.
What every appointment looks like.
Every setting is dialled to your Fitzpatrick type, hair density, and area, on the day.
Crystal reviews your hair history, prior laser experience, current medications, recent sun exposure, and the areas you want treated. She classifies your skin on the Fitzpatrick scale and assesses whether the hair is terminal (coarse, pigmented) or vellus (fine, light). A test patch is run on darker skin types when the situation calls for it. The full course (typically six to eight sessions, four to six weeks apart for face and six to eight weeks for body) is mapped out before any treatment begins.
Details+
- • Fitzpatrick skin type (I through VI) and recent sun exposure
- • Hair type assessment: terminal versus vellus, density, colour
- • Medication review (photosensitisers, isotretinoin recency, gold therapy)
- • Test patch on Fitzpatrick V to VI when warranted
- • Realistic course design (sessions, spacing, expected reduction)
When Triton Isn't the Right First Call
Defer or decline
Recent tan or self-tanner within two weeks. Photosensitising medications including certain antibiotics. Active pregnancy (deferred, not declined). Active herpes simplex or cold sores in the treatment area. Isotretinoin use in the past six months. Patients on gold therapy. Blonde, red, white, or very fine vellus hair, since the laser cannot target what is not there.
We screen at consultation
Crystal screens for each of these at the first visit and again at the start of every session. A test patch is run on Fitzpatrick V to VI when warranted. If anything in your medication list, recent sun history, or hair type makes laser the wrong call that day, the recommendation is to reschedule or defer. Appropriate scope of practice, not a hedge.
Sometimes another approach is better first
Hormonally driven facial hair (PCOS, persistent chin growth, perimenopause) often warrants a dermatology or endocrinology workup alongside the laser plan. Blonde, red, white, or very fine vellus hair will not respond to laser at any wavelength and is better handled with electrolysis. Crystal will tell you that directly at consultation if it applies.
One Medical Laser Technician. One assessment-first standard.
Every laser hair removal session at Essential Health is performed by Crystal Tait. As a trained Medical Laser Technician, Crystal is qualified to assess your skin on the Fitzpatrick scale, select the wavelength, set the energy, and adjust mid-session based on what the skin is showing. No fixed protocol sheet. Each session starts with a check of your current skin condition before the device is switched on.
Medical Laser Technician · Co-Founder
Crystal Tait, RMT
Co-founded the clinic in 2016. Delivers every Triton laser hair removal session, with the same assessment-first approach across patients from Fitzpatrick I to VI. Particularly sought out by patients with darker skin tones who have been turned away from older single-wavelength devices, and by patients with hormonally driven hair patterns who have tried other approaches without lasting result.

Steps to your first consultation.
Step Two
Your first visit runs thirty to forty-five minutes. Crystal classifies your skin on the Fitzpatrick scale, reviews your medications and recent sun exposure, assesses the hair type in each area you want treated, and runs a test patch on darker skin types when warranted. The full course, including session count and spacing, is mapped out before treatment begins.
Step One
No referral required. Book at essentialchirormt.janeapp.com or call 905-856-2299. Same-week appointments are typically available.
Step Three
The standard course is six to eight sessions. Face sessions are spaced four weeks apart; body sessions sit at six to eight weeks. By session four to six, most patients are seeing seventy to ninety percent reduction. Hormonally driven patterns may need one or two maintenance sessions per year after the initial course. Crystal flags that pattern at consultation if it applies.
