Smooth, Hair-Free Skin Starts Here — at Dr. Burkenstock’s Skin Body Health
Are you tired of the never-ending cycle of shaving, waxing, and plucking? At Dr. Burkenstock’s Skin Body Health Med Spa, we offer safe, effective, and long-lasting laser hair removal treatments designed to give you smooth, confident skin without the daily hassle.
Serving New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, and surrounding communities, our expert team delivers personalized care using advanced laser technology that targets hair at the root for results no razor or waxing method can match.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated light energy to penetrate hair follicles and disable them at the root. The laser targets melanin (pigment) in the hair, delivering heat that reduces the follicle’s ability to regrow hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
As a result, laser hair removal helps achieve long-term hair reduction with greater precision and efficiency. Compared to temporary methods such as shaving or waxing, it offers more lasting results and can significantly reduce the need for ongoing maintenance. Additionally, this treatment is suitable for various areas of the body, making it one of the most trusted and effective solutions for achieving smoother, hair-free skin.
How Does It Work?
During your session at our laser hair removal in New Orleans med spa, a handheld laser device is passed over the treatment area. The energy is absorbed by the hair follicle, helping reduce future growth.
Because hair grows in cycles, only active follicles can be treated in each session, so multiple appointments are required for the best results.
Patients often describe the sensation as quick, light snaps similar to a rubber band. Treatments are fast, well tolerated, and require no downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately.
How Long-Lasting Are the Results?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair. In fact, most patients experience up to an 85% reduction in hair growth after completing their recommended treatment plan.
Although new hair may develop over time due to natural body changes, treated areas typically remain smoother and require significantly less maintenance. As a result, many patients enjoy the convenience of reduced shaving and waxing. Additionally, occasional maintenance sessions can help preserve optimal results and keep the skin looking smooth over the long term.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions varies depending on factors such as hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated. Because hair grows in different phases, multiple treatments are necessary to effectively target follicles during their active growth stage.
Typically, most patients require 4 to 6 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, individual treatment plans may vary based on personal goals and how the hair responds to treatment. As a result, following the recommended schedule can help maximize long-term hair reduction and treatment effectiveness.

As a result, patients can receive personalized care designed to achieve smooth, long-lasting hair reduction across various treatment areas.
What to Expect After Treatment
After your session, the treated area may appear slightly pink or feel mildly sensitive, similar to a light sunburn. However, these effects are typically temporary and usually fade within a few hours.
Fortunately, there is no downtime required, and most patients return to their normal activities the same day. Over the following days and weeks, treated hairs shed naturally as part of the hair growth cycle. As a result, patients often notice progressively smoother skin and improved results with each treatment session. Additionally, following your provider’s aftercare instructions can help support comfort and optimize treatment outcomes.
