Ditch the Razor
What is Laser Hair Removal?
At our med spa in Burbank laser hair removal works by using concentrated light to affect hair follicles, which are small cavities in the skin from which hair grows. The hair follicle absorbs the laser, which is attracted to the hair’s melanin pigment, and the hair vaporizes instantly.
The pigment in the hair attracts the laser, so darker hair absorbs the laser more effectively, which is why people with dark hair and light skin are ideal candidates for laser hair removal.
Patients with dark skin typically need to be treated with a special type of laser that detects the hair against their skin. Those with light hair make less ideal candidates, and they are also less likely to experience drastic results as the laser doesn’t focus well on non-pigmented hair. Laser hair removal is not effective on blonde, gray, or white hairs.

Peeling Process: Over the next 3-7 days, the skin may crust and peel, revealing smoother skin.
Skin Sensation: Your skin may feel warmer than usual, similar to a mild sunburn. This sensation is temporary and should alleviate within a day or two.
Crusting and Peeling: Over the next 3-7 days, you may observe crusting and peeling of the treated hair follicles. This is a positive sign that the hair is responding to the laser energy.

Discover Your Smooth Skin Potential
Am I a candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal can be a game-changer for many, but it's essential to know if it's right for you. Remember, everyone's skin and hair are unique. At Skinn Aesthete, we offer personalized consultations to determine if laser hair removal is right for you and to create a tailored treatment plan for your specific needs.
Here's a quick guide to help you determine if you're an ideal candidate:
Perfect for You If:
- You're tired of constant shaving, waxing, or plucking
- You have unwanted hair on your face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, or back
- You have dark hair and light to medium skin tones (traditionally best results)
- You're looking for a long-term solution to hair removal
- You have realistic expectations about the treatment process and results
May Not Be Suitable If:
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have certain skin conditions or are prone to keloid scarring
- You're taking medications that increase light sensitivity
- You have very light blonde, red, or gray hair (less responsive to laser)
What to Expect:
- A series of treatments (typically 6-8) for optimal results
- Gradual reduction in hair growth over time
- Possible need for occasional maintenance treatments
- Minimal discomfort during the procedure
The Science Behind the Smoothness
Aftercare | Laser Hair Removal Recovery
The recovery time after the procedure is minimal and most patients can return to life as normal directly after. Just as wearing sunscreen before the procedure is important, so is continuing to wear it after the procedure. This will help prevent further irritation.
You can expect to see a reduction in the number of hairs in the treated area immediately after the procedure. Two to eight weeks after laser hair removal, you may begin to notice an increase in hair growth in the treated area. The reason for this is that not all hair follicles respond equally to the laser. Most Burbank laser hair removal patients see a 10 to 25 percent reduction in hair after the first treatment. It typically takes between three and eight sessions for permanent hair loss. The evaluation with your specialist before the procedure will give you a better idea of how many treatment sessions you may need. Also, you will likely need a touch-up session yearly to maintain effect.
Knowing how to care for your skin after laser hair removal is crucial to reducing side effects, but you should also know what not to do after your procedure.
- Space recurring treatments no sooner than 4 to 6 weeks apart. It may take multiple treatments spread out over time to achieve your desired results.
- Don’t tan. This may increase your risk of hypopigmentation (light spots), as well as burns.
- Don’t use tanning lotions. While seemingly harmless, these products can be irritating to skin that’s just undergone laser therapy. You may experience rashes, burns, and bumps.
- Don’t apply lotions with fragrances or perfumes to the treatment area. These may cause skin redness, discoloration, and irritation.
- Don’t apply deodorant to the underarms if laser hair treatment was targeted in this area. These products may also cause skin irritation.
- Avoid body scrubs for at least a few days, as it can irritate your skin.

Laser Hair Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal is generally described as causing minimal discomfort. Many patients compare the sensation to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The level of discomfort can vary depending on the treatment area and individual pain tolerance. At Skinn Aesthete, we use advanced cooling systems and can provide numbing creams for sensitive areas to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Most patients require 6-8 sessions for optimal results. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hair in the active growth phase. By spacing treatments 4-6 weeks apart, we can target hair in different growth cycles, leading to comprehensive hair reduction. Some areas might require more or fewer sessions depending on individual factors like hair density and color.
Advancements in laser technology have made it possible to treat a wide range of skin types safely. At Skinn Aesthete, we use state-of-the-art lasers that are effective on various skin tones, from very light to dark. However, laser hair removal is most effective on darker hair colors (black, brown, dark blonde) as the laser targets the pigment in the hair. Very light blonde, red, or gray hair may not respond as well to treatment.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, but it's not always permanent. Most patients experience significant and long-term reduction in hair growth. However, some hair follicles may become active again due to hormonal changes or other factors. Occasional maintenance treatments can help maintain your smooth, hair-free results indefinitely.
For safety reasons, we do not recommend laser hair removal during pregnancy. While there's no evidence that the procedure harms the fetus, most medical professionals advise waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to undergo laser hair removal. This is partly due to increased skin sensitivity during pregnancy and the body's changing hormonal balance, which can affect treatment efficacy.
To prepare for your laser hair removal session:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before treatment.
- Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for at least four weeks prior to treatment.
- Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of lotions, creams, or makeup.
- Inform us of any medications you're taking, as some can increase light sensitivity.
At Skinn Aesthete, we'll provide you with detailed pre-treatment instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible results from your laser hair removal sessions.
