Hear From Our Clients
A reputation built on 350+ client experiences across our premier locations.
You’re tired of the endless cycle. Shave today, stubble tomorrow. Wax this week, regrowth next month. The razor burn, the ingrown hairs, the constant maintenance that eats up your mornings and your budget.
Laser hair removal changes that equation completely. After your treatment series, you wake up smooth. No razor. No cream. No five-minute detour in the shower every single day.
Your legs stay smooth for beach season without the pre-vacation panic. Your underarms don’t need a touch-up before that sleeveless dress. You stop planning your schedule around hair growth cycles and start planning around what actually matters to you.
We bring serious medical credentials to Fort Greene’s aesthetic scene. Jennifer DiLandro, our founder and lead practitioner, spent years as Director of Nursing at a major surgical center before dedicating herself to cosmetology services.
That medical background matters when you’re trusting someone with your skin. Jennifer has performed thousands of treatments over 18 years, earning recognition as an Allergan Top 250 Injector nationwide. She’s not just following a script – she’s adapting techniques based on real experience with real results.
Fort Greene residents appreciate that level of expertise close to home. No need to trek to Manhattan for professional-grade laser treatments when you can get the same quality care right in your neighborhood, often at more competitive prices than you’d find across the bridge.
Your first visit starts with a consultation where we assess your skin type, hair texture, and treatment goals. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a medical evaluation to determine the best approach for your specific needs and hair removal goals.
During treatment, our FDA-approved laser targets hair follicles with precise pulses of light energy. Most people describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap, but much briefer. The laser destroys the follicle’s ability to produce new hair without damaging surrounding skin.
You’ll need multiple sessions because hair grows in cycles, and we can only treat active follicles. Most areas require 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Between sessions, you can shave normally – in fact, we recommend it. What you can’t do is wax or pluck, since we need those follicles intact for the laser to target effectively.

Every laser hair removal session at Dolce Aesthetics includes a thorough skin assessment and customized treatment settings for your specific skin type and hair color. We use medical-grade equipment that’s safe for all skin tones, something that wasn’t always possible with older laser technology.
Fort Greene’s diverse community needs practitioners who understand different skin types and hair textures. Our team has extensive experience treating clients with varying skin tones, adjusting laser wavelengths and energy levels accordingly for optimal hair removal results.
You’ll also receive detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions to maximize your results and minimize any temporary side effects. Most clients experience only mild redness that fades within hours, allowing you to return to work or social activities the same day. We’re always available for questions between appointments – this is medical treatment, not just a beauty service.
Most clients need 6-8 sessions for optimal results, though this varies based on your hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated. Hair grows in cycles, and laser can only target follicles in the active growth phase – typically 10-15% of your hair at any given time.
Coarse, dark hair responds fastest, often showing significant reduction after 3-4 sessions. Finer or lighter hair may require additional treatments. Hormonal areas like the face might need touch-up sessions annually to maintain completely smooth results.
We space treatments 4-6 weeks apart to catch new hair cycles as they become active. Consistency is key – skipping appointments or spacing them too far apart can extend your overall treatment timeline and reduce effectiveness.
Most clients find laser hair removal significantly more comfortable than waxing. The sensation is brief – like a quick rubber band snap – and lasts only milliseconds per pulse. Waxing rips hair out by the roots and can leave you sore for hours or even days.
Our laser system includes cooling technology that protects your skin’s surface during treatment. For sensitive areas, we can apply topical numbing cream beforehand. The discomfort is momentary, unlike waxing where you feel pain during hair removal and often experience irritation for days after.
Many clients are surprised by how tolerable the process is, especially when they consider they’re getting permanent results rather than temporary hair removal that needs repeating every few weeks. The brief discomfort during treatment is worth months of smooth, hair-free skin.
Yes, modern laser technology is safe and effective for all skin types when performed by experienced practitioners. We use advanced systems that can adjust wavelengths and energy levels based on your specific skin tone and hair color.
Earlier laser technology was limited to light skin with dark hair, but today’s equipment safely treats darker skin tones that were previously considered high-risk. The key is having a practitioner who understands how to calibrate settings appropriately for different skin types.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type using the Fitzpatrick scale and explain exactly how we’ll customize your treatment. Brooklyn’s diverse population means we regularly treat clients across the full spectrum of skin tones with excellent results and no complications.
Yes, you should continue shaving between laser sessions – it’s actually recommended. Shaving only removes hair above the skin’s surface, leaving the follicle and root intact for the laser to target during your next appointment.
What you cannot do is wax, pluck, tweeze, or use depilatory creams. These methods remove the entire hair follicle, which means there’s nothing for the laser to target. If you accidentally wax or pluck, that area won’t respond to laser treatment until the follicle regenerates completely.
We recommend shaving 24-48 hours before each appointment. This gives the laser a small amount of hair to target while keeping the treatment area comfortable and effective. Many clients find their shaving routine becomes much easier as treatments progress and hair grows back thinner and sparser.
After your first session, you might notice mild redness or slight swelling in the treated area, similar to a light sunburn. This is completely normal and typically fades within a few hours. Some clients don’t experience any visible reaction at all.
You won’t see immediate hair loss – that’s not how laser works. Over the next 1-3 weeks, treated hairs will gradually shed as the damaged follicles release them. This is often called “pepper spotting” because dark hairs appear to push out through the skin.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see dramatic results after one session. Laser hair removal is a process that builds with each treatment. Most clients notice significant reduction after their third or fourth session, with optimal results achieved after completing the full series of 6-8 treatments.
Laser hair removal pricing varies based on the treatment area size, your hair density, and how many sessions you’ll need. Small areas like the upper lip might cost $75-150 per session, while larger areas like legs can range from $300-600 per session.
We offer package pricing that reduces your per-session cost when you commit to a full treatment series. Many clients find this more economical than paying for individual sessions, plus it ensures you complete your treatment plan for optimal results.
During your consultation, we’ll provide exact pricing based on your specific needs and treatment goals. We also offer financing options to make laser hair removal more accessible. Remember, you’re investing in permanent results – when you calculate the lifetime cost of razors, shaving cream, and professional waxing, laser often pays for itself within a few years while saving countless hours of your time.
