Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Hair Removal in Halifax, Answered

What are your hours?
Monday: Closed. Tuesday - Friday: 10am - 7pm. Saturday: 10am - 5pm. Sunday: 10am - 5pm by appointment only. Staff are onsite for scheduled appointments. Please book ahead.
Who provides injectable treatments at Apex?
Injectable treatments at Apex are provided by Max R, under the medical direction of Caitlyn S. Every treatment starts with an assessment.
Do you offer Botox?
APEX offers Dysport Aesthetic. Botox and Dysport Aesthetic are different brands.
How much do Dysport® and dermal filler cost?
The regular Dysport billing rate is $11 per clinic billing unit + HST; from September 29 to October 31, 2026, the promotional billing rate is $9.50 + HST. APEX currently offers Dysport, not Botox. The advertised rate is per clinic billing unit (a Botox-equivalent pricing convention), not per actual Dysport product unit. Product units are not interchangeable; your clinical dose and total price including HST are confirmed in a written quote before treatment. Dermal filler is $575 + HST for the first syringe and $475 + HST for an additional syringe in the same appointment. The product, amount and total price including HST are confirmed in a written quote after your assessment.
What should I know before booking injectables?
Contact to book: call or text APEX at 902-456-5488. You must be 19 or older. An initial injectable consultation is required before your first Dysport or dermal filler treatment at Apex Wellness Centre. If you proceed with an eligible Dysport or dermal filler treatment, the full $50 consultation fee is credited toward the cost of that treatment. If you choose not to proceed with treatment, the $50 remains the consultation fee and is non-refundable. Completing a consultation does not guarantee treatment. Treatment proceeds only when clinically appropriate, following assessment and informed consent. Assessment and treatment usually happen in the same visit. Injectable treatments are not provided during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Is there a follow-up after Dysport® or filler?
A follow-up review is booked about two weeks after Dysport treatment. Any further treatment requires reassessment, appropriate prescribing authorization and informed consent. Any included touch-up and any charge are confirmed in your written quote; a follow-up does not automatically include injections. Filler clients have a follow-up assessment about two weeks after treatment.
Is laser hair removal an option for darker skin tones?
It can be, after proper assessment. Apex Wellness Centre uses the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, which includes 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths, and the treatment plan depends on skin type, hair color, medical history, medications, and recent sun exposure.
What is the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus?
The GentleMax Pro Plus is a medical-grade dual-wavelength laser platform. It combines 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology with Dynamic Cooling Device comfort support, allowing the clinic to select settings based on the client and concern.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Sensation varies by person and treatment area. Many clients compare laser pulses to a quick elastic-band snap, and the Candela Dynamic Cooling Device adds a burst of cooling before each pulse for comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need a series because hair grows in cycles, but the number and spacing of sessions varies by area, hair, skin, and assessment. Your consultation is where the Apex team maps out a realistic plan.
Why do packages usually make sense for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal usually works best as a series. Apex offers 6-session packages where you pay for 5 and receive the 6th free, and 9-session packages where you pay for 7 and receive 2 sessions free. Six-session packages are valid for one year, 9-session packages are valid for two years, and all packages are paid in full upfront.
Does Apex offer payment plans?
Ask Apex about a flexible in-house 0% payment option for an eligible non-package treatment plan, with no third-party financing company. Package purchases are excluded and must be paid in full upfront.
How much does laser hair removal cost in Halifax?
Apex publishes transparent pricing before HST. Examples include upper lip at $39, underarms at $59, full face at $109, full legs at $229, and full body at $499. Package savings are shown in CAD before HST.
Are Apex prices before HST?
Yes. Published treatment and package prices are before Nova Scotia HST. The current Nova Scotia HST rate is 14%.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Preparation depends on the treatment and your skin. In general, avoid tanning and follow the clinic's shaving, skincare, and medication guidance before treatment. The Apex team confirms instructions during consultation.
Do I need a patch test?
A patch test may be required depending on the treatment area, skin type, recent sun exposure, medications, and clinical judgment. Apex includes a free consultation and patch test pathway before treatment when appropriate.
What are Fitzpatrick skin types?
The Fitzpatrick scale describes how skin responds to UV exposure and is commonly used in laser assessment. Apex considers Fitzpatrick I to VI, recent tanning, medications, and treatment goals before selecting settings.
Can laser treat pigmentation?
Laser may help suitable pigmentation concerns such as sun spots, age spots, and some uneven pigment. Suitability depends on the type of pigment, skin tone, history, and assessment. Some pigment concerns require medical referral instead of laser.
Can laser help rosacea or vascular redness?
Apex offers vascular laser options for suitable rosacea-related redness, facial veins, spider veins, and cherry angiomas. Treatment choice depends on the vessel, location, skin type, and consultation findings.
Can laser help razor bumps and ingrown hairs?
Laser hair reduction can help reduce the hair that contributes to razor bumps and ingrown hairs in suitable candidates. Apex offers beard/neck and bikini-area razor bump treatment, with assessment-led settings.
Do you offer skincare treatments beyond hair removal?
Yes. We treat pigmentation, rosacea and facial veins, razor bumps, and fine lines with laser. Advanced Skincare includes facials, dermaplaning and Vivier Glow Peels. Microneedling is coming soon and is not yet available to book. We also offer Dysport® and dermal filler after an assessment.
What happens during a free consultation?
The team reviews your goals, treatment area, skin type, recent sun exposure, relevant medications, and timing. You can ask about single sessions, packages, expected spacing, aftercare, and whether treatment is appropriate.
How can I contact Apex quickly?
