Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Permanent Reduction in Hair Growth: Laser hair removal often leads to a significant reduction in hair growth over time. With multiple sessions, many people experience long-lasting or permanent hair reduction in treated areas.
Improved Skin Appearance: Laser hair removal not only removes unwanted hair but can also improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin. By reducing ingrown hairs, irritation, and pigmentation issues associated with other hair removal methods, laser treatment can leave the skin looking smoother, clearer, and more even-toned.
Time-saving: Compared to traditional methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal saves time in the long run. Since it targets multiple hair follicles simultaneously, larger areas can be treated in relatively short sessions. Many individuals find 5-8 sessions will accomplish their hair removal goals, which leads to limited maintenance and far less time and money spent on hair removal routines. Read more here.
Reduce Ingrown Hairs: Ingrown hairs can be a source of discomfort and annoyance. Laser hair removal often helps reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs, which are common with methods like shaving and waxing. By targeting the hair follicle directly, laser treatment inhibits hair growth, leading to smoother skin and fewer ingrown hairs.
Precision and Accuracy: Laser technology targets hair follicles precisely, ensuring that only unwanted hair is affected while leaving surrounding skin undamaged. Gentle pulses of energy pass through the skin and into the hair follicle. The follicle absorbs the energy and is destroyed, unable to produce hair again. Our 755nm Alexandrite laser is tailored for safe and most effective treatment for fair skin types, while our 1064nm Nd: YAG is tailored for safe and most effective treatment for darker skin types.
Versatility in Treatment Areas: Various parts of the body can be treated with Laser hair removal, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini region, chest and back. This versatility makes it suitable for targeting unwanted hair in almost any desired area.

Laser is faster and more efficient for large areas with medium to dark hair colour, though we treat all areas of the body effectively and safely using laser.Electrolysis is the only 100% permanent method for all hair colors, including blonde, red, and grey, however our goal is to achieve 80-90% of hair removal using laser for the right candidate. At Olakino, we may use a combination of both methods, to ensure every single follicle is treated. During your consultation, we will customize a plan that maximizes efficiency and results.
Most clients see visible improvements such as skin texture, wrinkles or acne scarring after just 3 treatments, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because SkinPen™ is the gold standard for collagen induction, your results will continue to improve as your body naturally produces new elastin and collagen.
Generally yes. The Hydrafacial™ is a non-invasive ‘skincare symphony’ that uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse and hydrate without irritation. It is highly effective for both calming sensitive skin and clearing congested, acne-prone skin. For those with specific concerns, we offer Deluxe and Platinum tiers that include tailored booster serums and LED light therapy.
Yes! Olakino Laser + Skin is proud to be one of the only approved providers on Vancouver Island for hair removal services with Trans Care BC. We specialize in gender-affirming hair removal (both Laser and Electrolysis) and provide a safe, compassionate, and private environment for our transgender clients.
Yes. Our Laser Age Spot + Sun Spot Removal targets melanin in the skin to break down pigmentation caused by sun exposure and aging. Most clients see a significant reduction in blemishes after just a couple of sessions, revealing a more even and youthful skin tone.
Our laser treatment for spider veins is quick and effective, using targeted energy to collapse the vein so it can be naturally reabsorbed by the body. The procedure is non-surgical with minimal downtime, making it a popular quick treatment for those looking to clear their legs or face of visible veins.
Definitely. We offer a curated ‘Just for Men’ menu that includes everything from permanent beard shaping and back hair removal to specialized facials designed for thicker, more oil-prone male skin. Our goal is to provide high-performance results in a professional, clinical setting.
Our Signature Facials offer two varieties: A luxurious, manual treatment designed for relaxation and deep nourishment and one designed as a quick ‘lunchtime’ peel. The Hydrafacial™, however, is a medical-grade treatment using a specialized device for deep extraction and serum infusion. For the ultimate skin health, many of our clients alternate between the two.
For hair removal, please arrive with the area cleanly shaved (unless doing electrolysis). For skin treatments like SkinPen™ or Hydrafacial™, avoid topicals such as Retin-A or exfoliants for 48 hours prior. You can book your consultation online today to receive a personalized pre-treatment guide tailored to your specific skin goals. Hair removal consultations on the other hand require 3-5 days of hair growth for us to assess the desired treatment area.

She is kind, efficient and professional! The space is always immaculate and inviting. Thanks Olakino!!Posted on Mads CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Olakino laser and skin has actually changed my life, I noticed differences from my laser appointments after one session. I have struggled with ingrowns for as long as I can remember, I’ve tried laser in the past and it has been nothing compared to this. Felipe is absolutely amazing, she is very knowledgeable and answers all my questions, she provides a comfortable environment with the utmost professionalism. The booking and checking in process is easier than ever and so fast, I was very impressed, I absolutely highly recommend Olakino!!!!!!Posted on Ayden MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience at my first consult! Suhas was so knowledgeable, validated my concerns, explained the options available, and conducted a test patch when I wanted to see how my skin would react. She talked me through the process and was so kind!!

From the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out my experience was lovely, professional & welcoming. Suhas performed my service, she was kind, caring professional and made sure I knew what was happening during every step of the procedure.

Suhas is so knowledgeable and kind, wonderful experience in every way and great results after my first treatment!Posted on Emma EatonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⚡⚡⚡Google review for ELECTROLYSIS ⚡⚡⚡ I never write these but, in this case, it is a special exception. I have been a patron of Olakino, formerly IGA's since January 3, 2022! I have lived in the battlefield of my facial hair since I was a child. It even at one point rivalled my very hairy brother (blame PCOS and life long trauma responses!) 4 years in, the destruction of each and every hair follicle has been worth it. There won't be day where I am not grateful for the dedication and hard work of both my pals Ana and KaitLynn. The contrast of the before and after still feels surreal. It doesn't feel like my face when I touch it, or look at it. I would have been terrified to take a before picture, it was that bad. But my words here are the after. If anyone is reading this review, I'm sure you can tell I highly recommend this excellent place of beauty commerce. ( I like to use fancy words for my own amusement) I have not sampled their other offerings; however, I also happen to know Felipee and Suhas are so pro-fesh and will provide you very rave worthy results as well 💫💫💫💫💫 🐙
