Safe, Medical-Grade Permanent Hair Reduction
Laser Hair Removal in Burlington
Laser hair removal uses medical-grade lasers to target and disable hair follicles, delivering long-term reduction of unwanted hair for face and body. Treatments are personalized by hair thickness, skin tone and treatment area to maximize efficacy and safety—performed under board-supervised care with test-spot protocols, cooling measures, and clear pre/post instructions for the best long-term outcome.
Who this is for
Adults who want to reduce or eliminate routine shaving, waxing or plucking on areas such as face, underarms, bikini, legs, back or chest. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and will follow a recommended series of sessions; modern devices can safely treat many skin tones when evaluated by our team.
What to expect
Your pathway starts with a brief consultation and a small test spot to confirm the safest settings for your skin and hair. Treatments are delivered in short, office-based sessions—most plans require multiple visits (commonly 6–8) spaced several weeks apart to target hairs during their active growth phase. During each appointment you’ll feel brief, tolerable pulses; cooling measures and comfort protocols minimize discomfort. Downtime is minimal: mild redness or swelling can appear for a few hours to a day, and visible thinning usually appears after the first few sessions with progressive improvement over the course. Aftercare focuses on sun protection, avoiding waxing or plucking between sessions, and following any post-treatment instructions we provide to maximize results.

"After meeting her, I felt so calm and confident..."
Dr. Shih is the best! I was so anxious leading up to my appointment but after meeting her, I felt so calm and confident that I went to the right place. She immediately put me at ease, explained my situation and options, and answered all of my questions.
The surgery was a success, and I have my life back! The recovery was quick, I have almost no scarring, and full function back. She is truly gifted and I am so grateful. Her office was really nice, and the staff were lovely. All of the appointments were on time, and did not take a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Shih!

I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Shih, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation, Dr. Shih's expertise and attention to detail put me at ease.
Dr. Shih and her assistant, Andrea, took the time to understand my goals and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and the results are just fantastic—exactly what I was hoping for! Both Dr. Shih and Andrea were incredibly supportive and responsive at every step. They made the entire experience feel personal and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Shih for anyone considering this procedure!

I am so grateful for Dr. Shih - she changed my life! Throughout the whole process from my first consultation, to the surgery, and the follow up care after the surgery, she was so warm, relaxed and reassuring.
I had researched several surgeons in the area, met with four and decided that Dr. Shih was the right fit for me. I could tell during our first meeting that I was in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about Laser Hair Removal in Burlington
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target hair follicles, damaging the follicle to reduce future hair growth. Performed in a series, it delivers long-term hair reduction for face and body.
How does laser hair removal work?
The laser emits light that melanin in the hair shaft absorbs, converting to heat that disables the follicle. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to catch hairs in the active growth phase.
Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal?
Good candidates are adults seeking long-term hair reduction. Best results are typically achieved when hair contrast with skin tone is higher (darker hair on lighter skin), but modern devices and tailored settings can treat many skin and hair types—consultation confirms suitability.
How many sessions will I need and how often?
Most treatment plans require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart depending on the area and hair growth cycle. Maintenance or occasional touch-ups may be recommended annually.
Does laser hair removal hurt and what is the downtime?
Most patients feel brief, tolerable stinging or snapping sensations; cooling devices and topical measures reduce discomfort. Downtime is minimal — some redness or mild swelling may last a few hours to a day.
Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
Yes—many modern medical lasers have settings and wavelengths suitable for darker skin, but patch testing and device selection are essential to minimize pigment risk. A medical consultation and test spot are standard for safety.
How should I prepare for a laser hair appointment?
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2–4 weeks, stop self-tanning products, shave the area the day before (unless instructed otherwise), and avoid blood-thinning medications only if advised by your clinician.
What are the risks and side effects?
Temporary side effects include redness, swelling, or transient pigment changes. Rare complications can include blistering or scarring if protocols aren’t followed. Choosing an experienced, board-supervised provider and following pre/post care reduces risks.
What should I do after treatment (aftercare)?
Keep the area protected from sun with broad-spectrum SPF, avoid hot baths/saunas and aggressive exfoliation for a few days, and follow your clinician’s guidance on moisturizing and when to resume waxing or plucking (generally avoid between sessions).
