Laser Hair Removal
Permanent hair reduction with diode and Nd:YAG lasers — safe and effective on all Fitzpatrick skin types, including richer Hispanic and Caribbean tones.
Areas we treat
- Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
- Underarms
- Bikini and Brazilian
- Legs (full or lower)
- Back, chest, abdomen
- Neckline and beard shaping for men
Why dermatology-grade matters
Many med spas only have one wavelength laser, which limits which skin types they can safely treat. We use both diode and Nd:YAG so we can match the technology to your skin type — critical for Miami's heavily Hispanic and Caribbean patient base, where lighter laser settings risk burns and scarring.
What to expect
Sessions take 10–60 minutes depending on the area. You'll feel a quick warm snap with each pulse — most patients describe it as totally tolerable. There's no real downtime, just sensitivity to sun for a few days.
