PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION · BURNABY, BC
Laser Hair
Laser Removal
The most effective and lasting solution for unwanted hair. At Oak Skin in Burnaby, our advanced laser hair removal technology delivers permanent hair reduction across all skin tones — safely, comfortably, and with exceptional results.
Permanently reduce
unwanted hair
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin in hair follicles — heating and destroying the follicle's ability to produce new hair without damaging the surrounding skin. The result is permanent hair reduction that progressively improves with each session.
Because laser targets melanin in the hair shaft, it is most effective on darker hair. Multiple sessions are required to treat hair in all stages of the growth cycle — typically 6–8 sessions for optimal results, with annual maintenance for any regrowth.
At Oak Skin in Burnaby, all laser hair removal treatments are performed by trained specialists using technology safe for all skin tones — including darker Fitzpatrick types that require more careful wavelength and parameter selection.

Including Fitzpatrick types IV–VI — where most conventional lasers carry significant risks of burns, scarring, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
TIME & COST SAVING
The lifetime cost of laser hair removal is far less than years of waxing appointments — and frees hours of time spent on hair removal every week.
ALL SKIN TONES
Our laser technology is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types — including darker skin tones where older laser systems posed significant risks.
SMOOTH, EVEN SKIN
No stubble, no razor burn, no dark pores from shaving. Laser hair removal leaves skin genuinely smooth between sessions.
NO INGROWN HAIRS
Unlike shaving, waxing, and threading, laser hair removal eliminates ingrown hairs entirely — a significant benefit for clients prone to folliculitis.
COMFORTABLE
Modern laser hair removal is significantly more comfortable than waxing — most clients describe a mild snapping sensation.
