Laser Hair Removal Specialist in Orlando, FL

Laser hair removal helps your skin stay smooth all year long by destroying hair follicles so that hair cannot grow in the first place. The light pulses created by our laser system target the melanin in your hair follicles. The pigment in your follicles absorbs the light as it passes through your skin, damaging the follicles. Hairs that are already present are typically rejected and shed in approximately 2-3 weeks following your procedure.

To achieve complete hair removal, 4-6 treatments are required on average. However, the exact number of procedures you will need to achieve your desired results will vary based on a number of factors, including your skin tone and hair color, as well as the area(s) being treated. Laser hair removal sessions are generally scheduled about 6 weeks apart for maximum effectiveness. Laser hair removal is an excellent procedure for both men and women who are sick and tired of wasting their time by shaving, waxing, or tweezing the same parts of their body time and time again. Let Spa Blue help you save time, money, and energy by scheduling your laser hair removal procedure at our medical spa.

To prepare for your laser hair removal session at Spa Blue, there are several key steps you need to follow to ensure optimal and safe results. First, you must avoid sun exposure for at least a week or two before your appointment. If you cannot completely avoid the sun, consistently applying a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is highly recommended to protect the treatment area. Additionally, you should steer clear of certain skincare products leading up to your session.

When it comes to hair management, you must avoid waxing, tweezing, threading, or using depilatory creams for at least four weeks prior to your appointment. These methods remove the hair directly from the follicle, which interferes with the laser’s ability to effectively target it. However, you are required to thoroughly shave the targeted treatment area about 24 hours, or the day before, your scheduled session. Following these specific guidelines helps ensure that your treatment is safe, effective, and as comfortable as possible.

Immediately after your laser hair removal session, it is completely normal to experience some temporary skin reactions. You might notice mild redness, swelling, warmth, or sensitivity in the treated areas, which often feels similar to a gentle sunburn. These symptoms are typically temporary and should subside within a few hours to a day. To ease any discomfort, you can apply cool compresses, fragrance-free moisturizers, or soothing aloe vera gel.

During the first 24 to 48 hours post-treatment, you must avoid direct sun exposure and activities that cause excessive heat or sweating, such as vigorous exercise, saunas, hot showers, and swimming pools, as heat can prolong inflammation. You should also wear loose clothing to prevent friction. Over the next one to three weeks, the treated hairs will appear to grow but will actually shed naturally. Remember to only shave—never wax or tweeze—between your sessions, and expect to need multiple treatments for the smoothest, long-lasting results.

At Spa Blue, your laser hair removal journey begins with a thorough, personalized consultation with Janet Beres, PA-C. She will carefully evaluate your skin type, hair color, and medical history to customize a specific treatment plan for your target areas, whether that is your face, legs, underarms, or bikini line. Janet will take the time to explain exactly how the advanced laser technology works to disable hair follicles.

During the actual procedure, Janet will use concentrated beams of light to target hair follicles. The advanced laser technology utilizes specialized settings and built-in cooling methods to protect your skin and minimize discomfort. For particularly delicate areas, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied beforehand. As the laser works, you will likely feel a brief sensation of warmth or a mild pinching feeling that resembles a gentle rubber band snap. Under Janet’s highly experienced and expert care, the session is designed to be quick, safe, and relatively comfortable for all skin tones.
