Laser Hair Removal Burlington
Laser hair removal is a non-surgical solution for slowing and preventing the growth of unwanted hair. The experts at Flawless Medspa are considered top providers of laser hair removal in Burlington and have helped many men and women eliminate the inconvenience of frequent shaving, plucking, bleaching, and/or waxing.
What is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure offered by our experts that targets the melanin in hair follicles, heating them and selectively destroying these follicles while leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected. Typically 6-8 treatments are required per area.
Treatments are performed every 4-8 weeks depending on the area being treated. It is important to stay on schedule for best results. It is important not to tan between treatments, and daily use of sunscreen of SPF 45 or more is needed for maximum results

Preparing for your Treatment

We also advise you to shave the targeted area of hair before coming in for treatment. Skin must be completely clean, so please remove any creams, makeup, or products.
How does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Lasers safely remove unwanted facial and body hair by selectively targeting melanin (pigment) inside the hair follicle, generating energy in form of heat at the root of the hair and destroying the hair without damaging the skin.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
Laser hair removal treatments are extremely safe when pre and post-procedural instructions given by our certified laser specialists are followed.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
Some parts of the body do tend to be more sensitive than others and a topical numbing cream is available. Most individuals describe it as a “snapping” sensation against the skin.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Does It Take?
The number of visits is typically 6 to 12. The face may need maintenance over the years due to hormonal fluctuations.
Hair growth occurs in three stages: anagen (active), catagen (regression), and telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is designed to treat the hair in the anagen phase. This is why a series of treatments are necessary, so hair can be targeted as it moves into the growth phase.
When the laser hits your skin, the melanin, or pigment in your hair follicles, absorbs the energy and is destroyed. Once a follicle is successfully destroyed, it won’t grow back.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
The price of laser hair removal varies based on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. The cost and details of your procedure will be reviewed with you prior to scheduling your treatment sessions.
