Minneapolis FAQs
How far is Aesthetic Beauty Lab from Minneapolis?
We are in Apple Valley, about 25 to 35 minutes south of Minneapolis depending on traffic. Cedar Avenue (Highway 77) runs from south Minneapolis almost to our door, and there is free parking right outside.
Is laser hair removal safe for dark and Black skin?
Yes, when the right laser and settings are used. We use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, which includes a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength that is commonly used for deeper skin tones, and we choose settings based on your skin type after a consultation and patch test.
Can you treat dark spots and melasma on darker skin?
Yes. Hyperpigmentation and melasma are some of the most common concerns we see. We start with a consultation and build a gentle plan, often with VI Peel and home care, because aggressive treatment can make dark spots worse on deeper skin.
Are your providers women? Do you have private rooms?
Yes. All of our providers are women, and every treatment is done in a private room. Our visits are hijab friendly: only the area being treated is uncovered.
Do you speak Swahili?
Yes. Our founder and lead nurse injector, Nikita Musta, RN, is from Kenya and speaks Swahili. Karibu!
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We offer payment plans through Cherry, CareCredit, PatientFi, Affirm and Klarna, plus memberships with monthly perks.
