Why I Finally Did It
For years, I danced around the idea of laser hair removal. I’d Google it late at night, then back out like I was committing to a tattoo. Shaving was quick but annoying. Waxing was expensive and felt like a weird punishment. And let’s not talk about ingrown hairs. Just don’t. But then I found KANDL, the medical aesthetic clinic in Montreal. They do laser hair removal all the time, and more importantly, they do it well. My friend went for underarm laser and called it “the best breakup of her life.” She dumped her razor for good. So I booked a consultation. Just like that. Bikini and underarms. Go big or go home.
My First Visit to KANDL
I don’t know what I expected. A scary machine? A lab coat and a warning label? Nope. KANDL is warm, clean, professional, and shockingly relaxing for a place that involves lasers near your lady parts. The staff? Angels. Kind, discreet, and not even remotely fazed that I was asking them to zap hair off my inner thighs. They explained the whole process. The laser targets the pigment in the hair, weakens the follicle, and over time, reduces growth dramatically. And no, it wouldn’t burn my skin. It’s medical-grade equipment in the hands of people who know what they’re doing.
What It Felt Like
Let’s cut to the chase. Does laser hair removal hurt? A little. But not like you think. My underarms felt like tiny snaps, over in less than three minutes. Bikini took longer and yeah, there were some wince moments. But the laser they use at KANDL has a built-in cooling system. So it zaps and soothes at the same time. Genius. It wasn’t relaxing exactly, but I’ve had facials that hurt more. And this one gave me actual results.
Post-Treatment: The Glow-Up Begins
After my first bikini and underarm laser session at KANDL, I was fine. No redness, no irritation. Just a bit of sensitivity that faded in a few hours. I used aloe like they suggested, skipped hot showers for a day, and that was it. About two weeks later, I noticed something. The hair started falling out. Not all at once, but in patches. It was bizarre and amazing. My armpits? Smooth. Like, smooth-smooth. Bikini area? Already lighter, softer, less prickly. Also, no more ingrown hairs. None. That alone was worth the price.
How Many Sessions Does It Take?
Everyone’s hair is different, but most people need eight to ten sessions. I did six. The team at KANDL spaced them out monthly. Each time I came in, there was less to treat. Less hair, less pain, less shaving between visits. By the fourth session, I wasn’t even reaching for a razor. The results just kept getting better.
Why KANDL?
Because results matter. And because I trust them with a laser. KANDL isn’t one of those pop-up places with a flashy Instagram and no credentials. It’s part of Clinique Medic Elle, so you’re getting medically supervised care with high-end equipment and trained professionals. No weird up-selling. No sketchy discounts. Just real, safe, effective laser hair removal in Montreal. They’re also discreet. Like, really discreet. You could be in and out in 20 minutes and no one in the waiting room would know what you were zapping. I appreciated that.
Was It Worth It?
A hundred times yes. Laser hair removal at KANDL gave me something I didn’t expect: not just smooth skin, but relief. Relief from the constant upkeep, the shaving rash, the razor burn. I don’t think about hair anymore. I just… go. Vacations are easier. Tank tops are stress-free. Even laundry day is less risky. I wouldn’t call it life-changing, but I’d call it lifestyle-changing.
Thinking About It? Just Do It
If you’re on the fence about laser hair removal in Montreal, let this be your sign. KANDL is the place. You’ll be treated like a person, not a walking coupon. You’ll get real results. And you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. Also, your future self will thank you every time you lift your arms or put on a swimsuit. Trust me. I’ve been her.
