IPL SALE STARTS NOW 🚨

Sun damage, age spots, redness, rosacea, acne scars, uneven tone/texture, fine lines—if any of these are a concern of yours, it’s time to book your IPL treatment at our lowest price of the year: $199 (regularly $299). Offer valid for full-face IPL sessions booked in October 2026. This is the last time we will be running this promotion, so please do not hesitate to get in.

IPL laser skin rejuvenation uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to stimulate your skin’s natural repair process. The light targets pigment and tiny blood vessels, heating collagen fibres and activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin—resulting in smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin. Please read the preparation instructions AHEAD of booking. We just turned away a client today because they had sun exposure on the treatment area in the last couple of weeks, and moving ahead with the treatment would be dangerous.

The things we do to get your attention 😅

But now for the education piece.

1. Fall is often the best time to start—and prep matters.
Cooler weather doesn’t improve the laser; fall simply makes it easier to avoid tanning and complete a laser series safely and effectively. Avoid tanning and self- tanner, wear SPF 30+, stop waxing or tweezing and shave as directed.

2. The science of it all.
DiolazeXL uses an 810 nm diode laser. Melanin in the hair absorbs the energy and converts it into heat, damaging the follicle and reducing regrowth. Contact cooling helps protect the skin and improve comfort. Because hairs enter active growth at different times, several sessions are needed.

3. Not all technology is the same.
Wavelength, power, cooling, maintenance and the provider’s settings all affect safety and results. Ask for the exact device and whether it is licensed by Health Canada.

4. B.C. does not issue a specific government certification for laser hair-removal technicians.
That doesn’t make training optional. Ask about laser-safety training, device-specific education, hands-on experience and safety protocols. No government credential does not mean no standards.

5. If the price seems too good to be true, ask why. Laser hair removal at Clinic 5 Laser will not be the cheapest you can find, and there’s a reason for that. Always ask your provider who will perform your treatment, what device they use and how they choose your settings. Do not choose your laser hair removal provider based on the deal alone.

IPL NOW $199
(Regularly $299, Save $100)

Valid for IPL full face sessions booked in October.

With pricing this good, our schedule books up FAST. This is the last time we will offer this deal, only offered until mid-November. No further extensions this year as something new is in the works...packages? Maybe?

Book before it's too late and remember TO PREPARE PROPERLY for your session. Proper skin preparation helps ensure safer, more predictable results. If we don’t feel your skin is ready for treatment, we may need to postpone your session. This means: stop using any retinol, glycolics, peels or any skin thinning ingredients at least 5-7 days before your treatment; avoid all sun exposure for at least two weeks before your treatment; skin cannot be freshly tanned for your session (this includes spray tans, self tans, etc.).

WHAT IN THE IPL…

Everyone and their mother is booking IPL (intense pulse laser) sessions this fall, but no one is talking about THIS.

After your IPl session the brown, pigmentation spots can get darker before they get better. We refer to this as “peppering”” or something thar looks like coffee grounds on the skin. It’s not a big deal! (and can be covered with makeup) but we’d rather you know what to expect in advance.

When we, as laser technicians, see “peppering” post session, we get giddy! It’s proof that your unwanted pigment is leaving the building. This also goes for redness and vascular lesions. They can look worse before they look better. That’s part of the process.  

Here’s what you should know:

If you don’t get peppering, it does not mean the treatment didn’t work! Not everyone’s sun damage is the same. Your skin will appear brighter and more even after the 4 week mark! Peppering is alwats more likely on your first IPL session of your series.
