Laser Hair Removal & Electrolysis · Brandon, FL
FDA-cleared laser hair removal and FDA-approved electrolysis for smooth, hair-free skin. Physician-supervised. Safe for all skin tones.
At Florida Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer the two most clinically proven methods of permanent hair removal, laser and electrolysis, performed by licensed, experienced specialists under physician supervision.
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to disable hair follicles across large areas quickly and comfortably. It is the most popular method for legs, underarms, bikini, back, and chest. Electrolysis uses a fine probe to deliver a precise electrical current to each individual follicle, the only method FDA-approved for complete permanent removal, and the only option effective on light, gray, and red hair.
We work with every patient to determine the right method, or combination of methods, based on their hair color, skin tone, and the areas they want treated. Every treatment plan begins with a complimentary consultation.
FDA-cleared. Fast, comfortable, and effective on large and small areas alike
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft to heat and permanently disable the follicle, without affecting the surrounding skin. At Florida Aesthetics, our laser technology is calibrated for each patient's specific skin tone and hair color, making it safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types including darker complexions.
Our equipment cools and soothes as it glides along your skin, making the procedure one of our most comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, mild snap, nothing like the prolonged discomfort of waxing or electrolysis over large areas.
Back hair, chest hair, beard line ingrowns, shoulders, underarms, laser permanently solves all of it. Men now account for a rapidly growing share of our laser patients, and for good reason: no more shaving a full back every week, no more razor burn on the neck, no more ingrown hairs. Our providers adjust laser settings for the coarser, denser follicles men typically have, delivering the same 80 to 90 percent permanent reduction.
The only FDA-approved method for complete, permanent hair removal, works on all hair colors
Electrolysis is the only hair removal method with FDA approval for permanent removal. A fine, sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and a precise electrical current is delivered to permanently destroy the follicle's ability to produce hair. Unlike laser, electrolysis works on every hair color, including light blonde, gray, and red hair that contains too little melanin for laser to target effectively.
Many patients use a combination approach: laser for larger areas with dark hair, and electrolysis for fine facial hair or any remaining light or gray hairs after a laser series. Our providers will help you determine the most efficient strategy for your goals.
Both methods are safe and effective. The right choice depends on your hair color, treatment area, and long-term goals.

| Hair Color | Works best on dark, pigmented hair | Works on all colors (blonde, gray, red) |

| Sessions Needed | 6 to 8 sessions per area | Varies by density and area |

Many of our patients utilize a combination approach. We often recommend starting with a series of laser hair removal sessions to clear large areas of dark hair quickly. Once the majority of the hair is reduced, we use electrolysis to "clean up" any remaining stubborn, light, or fine hairs for a 100% smooth finish.
