Q: Is laser hair removal suitable for different skin tones?
Laser hair removal may be suitable for a wide range of skin tones. At Laser Aesthetics in Burlington, treatments are performed by Registered Nurses using the medical-grade GentleMax Pro laser. Every client is assessed for skin type, medications, medical history, recent sun exposure, and treatment suitability before starting.
Q: Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most clients describe laser hair removal at Laser Aesthetics as a quick “snap” or warmth on the skin that is very tolerable. The GentleMax Pro has built-in cooling to protect the skin, and treatments on small areas like the underarms or upper lip can be completed in just a few minutes.
Q: How many laser hair removal sessions are usually needed?
Most people need about 6–8 laser hair removal sessions at Laser Aesthetics, usually spaced every six weeks. This schedule targets the hair during its active growth phase and helps achieve up to 90% long-term hair reduction.
Q: What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?
We provide laser hair removal for almost every part of the body except the eyebrows. Popular areas at our Burlington clinic include the face (lip, chin, full face), underarms, bikini and Brazilian, legs, arms, chest, shoulders, and back.
Q: What should I do before and after my appointment?
Before treatment, we ask clients to shave the area, avoid moisturizers on the day of treatment, and avoid sun exposure, self-tanner, or tanning beds for about four weeks. After treatment, you can return to normal activities right away but should avoid hot tubs, saunas, or very hot baths for 24 hours. Mild redness like a light sunburn is common and usually fades within a few hours.
