This state-of-the-art platform combines dual wavelengths, allowing us to safely treat a wide range of skin tones with precision and efficiency.

Our beautiful and serene Burbank laser hair removal med spa is the perfect place for you to invest in your comfort and confidence.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal sets you free from the cycle of shaving or waxing by providing long-lasting to semi-permanent hair removal. The treatment involves directing a laser at the hair follicles. The laser’s wavelength specifically targets the pigment in the hair shaft, damaging the follicle to inhibit hair growth.
Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the surface, or waxing, which painfully pulls it from the root, laser treatment targets the hair follicle to slow regrowth. Modern devices distinguish between skin and hair pigment for precise, comfortable results and less irritation than traditional methods. Because different follicles are continually entering different stages of their growth cycles, a series of laser sessions is typically scheduled to target the maximum number of follicles. Our experienced Burbank laser hair removal technician will provide you with safe and non-invasive treatments that let you enjoy smooth, silky skin anywhere on your face or body!
What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal at The Skinn Suite
Your laser hair removal journey at The Skinn Suite is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and results-driven. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are necessary to effectively target follicles during their active growth phase. Most patients achieve optimal, long-term reduction with a series of 6–8 treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated and individual hair growth patterns.
Treatments are typically quick, and thanks to the advanced cooling technology of the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, sessions are well tolerated with minimal discomfort. You may experience slight redness or mild sensitivity immediately after treatment, similar to a light sun exposure, which usually resolves within a few hours. Each treatment plan is fully customized based on your skin tone, hair type, and aesthetic goals to ensure safe, effective, and beautifully smooth results.
How Long Does a Laser Hair Removal Appointment Take?
Appointment length depends on the area being treated:
-
Small areas (upper lip, chin, underarms): approximately 10–15 minutes
-
Medium areas (bikini line, half arms): 15–30 minutes
-
Large areas (full legs, back, chest): 30–60 minutes
Your first visit may take slightly longer to allow time for consultation, assessment, and customized treatment planning. Most follow-up sessions are streamlined, making it easy to schedule treatments during a lunch break or between daily commitments.

Area Descriptions
Each body area has its own characteristics and responds differently to laser technology. That’s why every session at The Skinn Suite is tailored to match the skin type, hair density, and sensitivity of the specific zone being treated. Many patients choose to combine multiple areas for a smoother, more even finish across the body.
Face & Neck
Removing facial hair creates a smooth, refined look while reducing irritation caused by daily shaving. Treatments can also help contour beard lines for men who want a cleaner jawline.
Upper Body
Chest, shoulders, and arms are common areas for both men and women. For men, it means less body hair maintenance. For women, it creates a polished and smooth upper body appearance.
Lower Body
Legs and bikini treatments are among the most popular. They eliminate the need for constant shaving and reduce the risk of bumps or ingrown hairs that often occur in these sensitive regions.
Back & Torso
Especially popular with male clients, back treatments free patients from the inconvenience of waxing or having to ask someone else for help with hard-to-reach areas.
Full Body Options
Comprehensive packages combine multiple areas for total convenience and transformation. These are ideal for individuals looking for consistent results across the entire body.
Laser Hair Removal Results
Experience New Freedom
Achieving optimal results usually requires multiple sessions spread over several weeks to target hair in different growth cycles. Occasional maintenance sessions are sometimes necessary. Overall, this approach drastically reduces regrowth, delivering silky smooth skin you can enjoy every day. Most people see noticeable results after the first few visits, with a significant reduction in hair growth.
The most dramatic changes are typically noticed after the third or fourth session, when the cumulative effect of treatments becomes clear.
Patients often report shaving less frequently and enjoying smoother, more comfortable skin, especially during summer or vacations, when confidence matters most.
Many of our clients are amazed by the difference in their before and after experiences—smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and less irritation are just a few of the transformations you can expect. It’s important to understand that treatments do not always result in complete hair removal. However, any hair remaining grows in much finer and lighter.
How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment
Proper preparation is essential for safe, effective results from your laser hair removal treatment at The Skinn Suite. At least 2 weeks before your appointment, avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners. Tanned or sunburned skin increases the risk of irritation and pigmentation changes. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is strongly recommended.
Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior to your appointment. Shaving allows the laser to effectively target the hair follicle beneath the skin without surface hair interfering with the energy delivery. Do not wax, tweeze, thread, or use depilatory creams for at least 2–4 weeks prior, as the hair root must be intact for the laser to work.
On the day of treatment, arrive with clean skin free of lotion, oil, deodorant, perfume, or makeup in the treatment area. Avoid applying numbing creams unless specifically instructed by your provider. If you are taking any medications, especially antibiotics or other photosensitizing drugs, please inform your provider before your appointment. Following these guidelines ensures optimal energy delivery, improved results, and a safe treatment experience.
Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Stop the Growth Cycle
During your laser hair removal appointment, your Skinn Suite aesthetic specialist directs a laser over the treatment area. They will expertly target specific areas of hair growth for precise removal. The laser emits concentrated light that is absorbed by the pigments in the hair follicles. This inhibits their ability to grow. Most Burbank laser hair removal patients experience a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin but describe it as tolerable. The length per session will vary depending on the areas being treated, with appointments usually lasting between 15 minutes and one hour.
Your Laser Hair
Removal Procedure
Removal Procedure
After your laser hair removal treatment at The Skinn Suite, proper aftercare is important to protect your skin and optimize results.
For at least 48 hours after treatment, avoid:
- •Direct sun exposure and tanning
- •Hot showers, baths, saunas, or steam rooms
- •Intense workouts that cause excessive sweating
- •Harsh skincare products, exfoliants, retinoids, or acids in the treated area
- •Waxing or tweezing between sessions
Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling around hair follicles is normal and typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Apply a gentle moisturizer and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect the treated area.
Over the following 1–2 weeks, treated hairs will gradually shed, this is a normal part of the process. Avoid picking or scrubbing the area; allow shedding to occur naturally

Frequently Asked Questions
Laser Hair Removal
Can I shave between treatments?
Yes. Shaving is the only recommended method of hair removal between sessions. Because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, the root must remain intact—so avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading during your treatment series.
Who is a candidate for hair removal laser treatment?
At The Skinn Suite, candidacy depends on several important factors. You may be an ideal candidate if you have unwanted dark, coarse hair, experience ingrown hairs or razor irritation, and are looking for a long-term solution instead of shaving or waxing. Individuals with lighter to medium skin tones and darker hair typically see the best results due to the contrast, and a willingness to complete a series of treatments is important for optimal outcomes.
What areas of the body can be treated with Hair Removal Lasers?
Laser hair removal is commonly used on the face, ears, neck, back, chest, underarms, abdomen, bikini area, legs, and the backs of the hands.
Are the results of Laser Hair Removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, but results may not be entirely permanent. Some hair regrowth can occur over time, requiring occasional maintenance sessions.
How many Hair Removal Lasers sessions will I need?
Removing hair often requires a series of treatments. Most patients can schedule sessions once every 4 to 6 weeks.
HOW MUCH DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL COST?
The cost of treatment can vary depending on the area treated.
Packages are usually more cost-effective than single sessions, and many patients find that laser hair reduction ultimately saves money compared to decades of waxing or purchasing razors. Ask about available discounts for multiple areas or full-body packages to maximize value.
Do You Offer Hair Removal Laser Treatments for Men?
Yes, we do! At The Skinn Suite, we proudly offer services for men seeking smoother skin, reduced maintenance, and greater confidence. Whether you’re interested in treating the back, chest, shoulders, beard line, or other areas, our advanced laser technology and experienced technicians ensure a comfortable, personalized experience. Men often choose this option to simplify grooming routines, reduce body hair, or prevent irritation from regular shaving. Whatever your goals, we’re here to help you achieve them. Laser treatment for men is one of the fastest-growing trends in grooming. Athletes, professionals, and everyday men appreciate the lasting smoothness and freedom from constant shaving. Our team tailors each session to suit male clients’ unique needs, delivering safe and effective results every time.
Will the hair grow back?
Laser hair removal provides long-term reduction, not temporary removal. After completing a full series, most patients experience significantly less regrowth. Any hair that does return is typically finer, lighter, and grows much more slowly.
Can laser hair removal be performed over a tattoo?
No. Laser hair removal cannot be performed directly over a tattoo. The laser targets pigment, and tattoo ink contains concentrated pigment that can absorb the laser energy, potentially causing burns, blistering, or distortion of the tattoo.
How long should I wait after finishing antibiotics?
If you are taking a photosensitizing antibiotic, we typically recommend waiting at least 10–14 days after completing the medication before proceeding with treatment. The exact timing may vary depending on the specific medication and your skin response.
