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.

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.
