Hear From Our Clients
A reputation built on 350+ client experiences across our premier locations.
You wake up with smooth skin every morning. No more razor burn on your legs or painful waxing appointments that leave you red and irritated for days.
Beach days become spontaneous instead of planned around hair removal schedules. You slip into that sleeveless dress without checking the mirror twice or running your hands along your arms.
The time you used to spend shaving, waxing, and dealing with ingrown hairs? That’s yours again. Most clients save 2-3 hours per week once their laser hair removal series is complete—time you can spend doing things that actually matter to you.
Dolce Aesthetics NY has been serving the Hillcrest community and surrounding NYC areas since 2009. Every laser specialist on our team is both a Licensed Esthetician and Certified Laser Technician—not just someone who took a weekend course.
Our treatments are supervised by board-certified medical professionals, including our Medical Director Dr. Sophia Lubin. We use the Cynosure Apogee Elite, the gold standard in laser hair removal technology that’s proven safe and effective for all skin tones.
Hillcrest residents choose us because we understand that your time is valuable and your skin deserves expert care. We’re not a chain operation with rotating staff—we’re your local specialists who know this community.
Your first visit starts with a consultation where we assess your skin type, hair color, and treatment goals. No pressure, no sales pitch—just honest answers about what laser hair removal can do for you specifically.
During treatment, our dual-wavelength Cynosure laser targets hair follicles with precision while the built-in cooling system keeps you comfortable. Most clients describe it as a quick snap followed by cool relief—much less painful than waxing.
Sessions typically last 15-60 minutes depending on the area. You can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Most clients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction.

We treat every area from small spots like upper lip and underarms to full legs, back, and Brazilian areas. Our Cynosure Apogee Elite works on all skin tones, including darker complexions that many other lasers can’t safely treat.
Hillcrest clients appreciate that we offer package pricing that makes sense for your budget. Unlike some competitors who lock you into expensive contracts, we provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees.
Your treatment plan is customized based on your hair type, skin tone, and personal goals. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available to answer questions between sessions—something you won’t get from larger chain operations.
Laser hair removal pricing varies based on the treatment area size and your individual hair characteristics. Small areas like upper lip or underarms typically start around $75-150 per session, while larger areas like full legs range from $300-500 per session.
Most clients need 6-8 sessions for optimal results, so we offer package pricing that provides better value than paying per session. During your free consultation, we’ll provide exact pricing for your specific needs and treatment areas.
Unlike temporary methods that cost hundreds annually, laser hair removal is a one-time investment. When you calculate the lifetime cost of razors, shaving cream, waxing appointments, and your time, most clients break even within 2-3 years and save thousands long-term.
Yes, our Cynosure Apogee Elite laser system is specifically designed to safely treat all skin types, including darker skin tones. The dual-wavelength technology combines 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers, allowing us to customize treatment for your specific skin and hair combination.
The Alexandrite wavelength works best on lighter skin tones, while the Nd:YAG wavelength is ideal for darker complexions. This versatility means we can provide safe, effective treatment regardless of your skin tone—something not all laser systems can offer.
Our licensed specialists assess your skin during consultation and select the appropriate settings for maximum safety and effectiveness. The built-in cooling system also minimizes any discomfort and protects your skin throughout treatment.
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, meaning the treated hair follicles are destroyed and won’t regrow. Most clients achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction after completing their full treatment series of 6-8 sessions.
Some fine, light hairs may eventually regrow due to hormonal changes or aging, but they’re typically much thinner and lighter than original hair. Many clients find they need only occasional touch-up sessions every 1-2 years to maintain completely smooth skin.
The permanence depends on completing your full treatment series and following aftercare instructions. Unlike shaving or waxing where hair returns within days or weeks, properly completed laser hair removal eliminates the need for regular hair removal maintenance.
Your first session begins with final preparation—we’ll have you change into a treatment gown and provide protective eyewear. The treatment area is cleaned, and we may apply a cooling gel depending on the laser settings needed for your skin type.
During treatment, you’ll feel the laser pulse followed by the cooling system activation. Most clients describe it as a rubber band snap followed by cool relief. Sessions last 15-60 minutes depending on the area size—small areas like upper lip take just a few minutes.
Immediately after treatment, the area may appear slightly red, similar to mild sunburn, but this typically fades within a few hours. You can return to normal activities right away, though we recommend avoiding sun exposure and hot showers for 24 hours.
Yes, you can and should shave between laser hair removal sessions. In fact, we require you to shave the treatment area 12-24 hours before each appointment. Shaving removes the hair above skin level while leaving the follicle intact for the laser to target.
What you cannot do between sessions is wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams. These methods remove the entire hair follicle, which the laser needs to be present to effectively destroy it. Shaving only cuts the hair at skin level, leaving the root for treatment.
Many clients are surprised that they can shave between sessions, but this actually helps the laser work more effectively. The goal is permanent follicle destruction, not temporary hair removal, so maintaining the follicle structure through shaving only is essential.
Most clients need 6-8 sessions to achieve optimal results, but the exact number depends on your hair type, skin tone, treatment area, and individual response to laser therapy. Hair grows in cycles, and laser only affects hair in the active growth phase.
Coarse, dark hair typically responds faster than fine, light hair. Hormonal areas like the face may require additional sessions compared to areas like legs or underarms. Your laser specialist will provide a personalized treatment plan during consultation.
Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to target new hair growth cycles. Consistency is key—skipping sessions or spacing them too far apart can extend your overall treatment timeline and reduce effectiveness.
