Laser hair removal at Med Aesthetics Miami is a medical-grade permanent hair reduction treatment that uses concentrated laser energy to destroy hair follicles at the root.
Med Aesthetics Miami delivers laser hair removal across three South Florida locations — Coral Gables, Aventura, and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — using four clinical laser systems matched to each patient’s skin tone, hair type, and treatment area. Most patients require 6 to 10 sessions to achieve permanent hair reduction.
Laser hair removal is a permanent hair reduction treatment that delivers concentrated light energy into the hair follicle to destroy the follicle’s capacity to produce new hair. The laser targets melanin — the pigment inside the hair shaft — and converts light into heat at the follicle level. That localized heat disables the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
Hair grows in cycles, and only follicles in the active growth phase absorb laser energy effectively. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this biological fact explains why multiple sessions are clinically required. Med Aesthetics Miami spaces sessions every one to two months to intercept each follicle during its active growth window.
Patients at Med Aesthetics Miami average 6 to 10 sessions per treatment area to achieve significant permanent hair reduction.
Laser hair removal is the only non-surgical hair removal method that targets and destroys the follicle itself. Waxing, shaving, and threading remove the hair shaft but leave the follicle intact and active.
Laser hair removal at Med Aesthetics Miami eliminates ingrown hairs, reduces folliculitis, and removes the recurring cost and time of temporary removal methods — so patients achieve smooth skin without ongoing maintenance appointments.

Med Aesthetics Miami operates four clinical laser systems across three South Florida locations. A licensed technician performs a skin assessment before the first session and assigns the correct laser platform based on each patient’s skin tone, hair color, and treatment area.
Apogee Elite The Apogee Elite is a dual-capability laser that uses Alexandrite technology for patients with lighter skin and YAG technology for all skin types, including dark skin. The Apogee Elite allows the clinical team to tailor settings to each patient so the laser targets the hair follicle effectively across a wide range of complexions.
Syneron Candela GentleYAG — Aventura The Syneron Candela GentleYAG is available at Med Aesthetics Miami’s Aventura center. The GentleYAG uses a high-intensity beam that targets dark pigments in hair follicles, making it especially effective for darker skin tones and deep ingrown hairs.
Specialists tailor GentleYAG settings to each patient, ensuring effective hair removal across the full targeted treatment area.
Soprano ICE — Lauderdale-by-the-Sea The Soprano ICE is an FDA-approved diode laser available at Med Aesthetics Miami’s Lauderdale-by-the-Sea center. The Soprano ICE uses SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology — continuously emitting low fluence pulses at a high repetition rate — to gently heat the dermis to a temperature that damages the hair follicle and prevents regrowth.
The built-in ICE cooling technology cools the skin surface throughout treatment, preventing superficial burns and producing a sensation patients describe as a hot stone massage rather than discomfort.
The Soprano ICE treats all skin types, including tanned skin, making it a practical choice for South Florida patients who maintain outdoor activity year-round.
Aerolase Neo — All Three Locations The Aerolase Neo is a 1064nm YAG aesthetic medical laser available at all three Med Aesthetics Miami centers — Coral Gables, Aventura, and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The Aerolase Neo uses 650-microsecond technology that targets melanin, hemoglobin, and water in the skin tissue.
The Aerolase Neo is particularly effective for patients with folliculitis, deep ingrown hairs, pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps), and darker skin tones. The 650-microsecond pulse eliminates discomfort during treatment, making the Aerolase Neo the most comfortable option for pain-sensitive patients.
Med Aesthetics Miami also offers the Aerolase Neo Elite for hair removal, which patients consistently describe as gentler than other laser systems they have previously used.
Laser System | Location | Technology | Best For |
Apogee Elite | Med Aesthetics Miami | Alexandrite (light skin) + YAG (all skin types) | Fair to dark skin, dual capability |
Syneron Candela GentleYAG | Aventura | High-intensity YAG | Dark skin, deep ingrown hairs, tailored settings |
Soprano ICE | Lauderdale-by-the-Sea | SHR diode + ICE cooling, FDA-approved | All skin types, tanned skin, and pain-free treatment |
Aerolase Neo | All three locations | 1064nm YAG, 650-microsecond | Folliculitis, dark skin, deep ingrowns, and pain-sensitive patients |
Med Aesthetics Miami’s four-platform approach allows the clinical team to match the correct laser to each patient’s skin tone and treatment concern — a capability that single-laser national chain clinics cannot replicate.
South Florida’s patient population spans a wide range of skin tones, and system matching at Med Aesthetics Miami is a clinical protocol applied at every first consultation.
Method | Result | Duration | Ingrown Hair Risk | Safe for All Skin Tones | Medical Supervision |
Laser Hair Removal | Permanent reduction | Lifetime after full series | Eliminates ingrown hairs | Yes, witha correct laser system | Yes — Med Aesthetics Miami |
Waxing | Temporary removal | 3–6 weeks | High | Yes | No |
Shaving | Temporary removal | Days | High | Yes | No |
IPL (non-medical device) | Long-term reduction | Variable | Moderate | Best for lighter skin tones | No |
Electrolysis | Permanent per follicle | Slow, follicle by follicle | Low | Yes | Varies by provider |
Laser hair removal achieves permanent follicle destruction across large treatment areas faster than electrolysis and with more clinical precision than consumer IPL devices.
Waxing and shaving remove only the hair shaft, leaving the follicle intact and requiring indefinite continuation.
Patients in South Florida managing folliculitis or deep ingrown hairs benefit from the Aerolase Neo at Med Aesthetics Miami, which addresses both the unwanted hair and the underlying skin condition in the same treatment session — so patients eliminate two concerns without booking separate appointments.
Med Aesthetics Miami performs laser hair removal on all major body areas. Session requirements vary by area based on hair density, follicle depth, and the regional hair growth cycle.
Treatment Area | Average Sessions Required | Interval Between Sessions |
Upper lip / full face | 6–8 | 4–6 weeks |
Underarms | 6–8 | 4–6 weeks |
Brazilian / bikini | 6–10 | 4–6 weeks |
Arms (full) | 6–8 | 4–6 weeks |
Full legs | 8–12 | 6–8 weeks |
Back — male patients | 8–12 | 6–8 weeks |
Chest — male patients | 6–10 | 6–8 weeks |
Neck/jawline | 6–8 | 4–6 weeks |
Patients diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hirsutism may require additional sessions because elevated androgen levels continue stimulating follicle activity between treatments.
The clinical team at Med Aesthetics Miami documents hormonal history at the initial assessment and adjusts the session plan accordingly — so patients with PCOS or hirsutism receive a protocol matched to their physiology rather than a generic package count.
Fair to medium skin. The Apogee Elite uses Alexandrite technology for patients with fair to medium skin and dark hair. Patients with lighter complexions and strong contrast between skin tone and hair color respond most strongly to Alexandrite-based treatment.
For patients with light skin seeking additional skin rejuvenation alongside hair removal, Med Aesthetics Miami’s advanced skin treatments offer complementary options in the same visit.
Dark skin. The Syneron Candela GentleYAG at the Aventura center and the Aerolase Neo at all three locations use YAG technology that targets the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin on darker complexions. The American Academy of Dermatology identifies YAG-based systems as the clinical standard for safe laser hair removal on darker skin tones.
Both the GentleYAG and Aerolase Neo are the systems of choice for Fitzpatrick IV through VI patients at Med Aesthetics Miami.
All skin types, including tanned skin, The Soprano ICE at Med Aesthetics Miami’s Lauderdale-by-the-Sea center treats patients with a gentle active tan between sessions. Patients with sunburn or very recent intense sun exposure should wait 48 to 72 hours before treatment to allow the skin to stabilize.
Gray and light blonde hai.r Laser hair removal requires melanin concentration in the hair shaft to convert light energy into follicle-disabling heat. Gray hair and very light blonde hair contain insufficient melanin to respond to laser treatment.
Med Aesthetics Miami assesses hair color and melanin candidacy during the initial consultation before recommending a treatment series, so patients receive an accurate outcome forecast before committing to a package.
Shave the target treatment area 12 to 24 hours before each session so laser energy reaches the follicle rather than the hair shaft above the skin surface.
Avoid sun exposure, self-tanner, and tanning beds for at least two weeks before treatment.
Apply no creams, lotions, or perfumes to the treatment area on the day of the appointment.
Avoid waxing or plucking for six weeks before the first session — the follicle must remain intact for the laser to locate and destroy it. Review Med Aesthetics Miami’s preparation tips for a full pre-treatment checklist.
The Med Aesthetics Miami technician cleanses the treatment area and applies cooling gel or local anesthesia if clinically indicated.
Session duration ranges from a few minutes for small areas, such as the upper lip, to one hour for large areas such as full legs or a full back treatment.
Most patients describe the sensation as a light rubber band snap against the skin. The Soprano ICE — with its built-in ICE cooling — and the Aerolase Neo deliver the lowest discomfort levels and suit pain-sensitive patients at all three locations.
According to the Mayo Clinic, applying ice to the treated area after the session helps manage any mild discomfort.
Apply aloe vera gel or a refreshing moisturizing lotion to the treated area for the first few days post-session.
Avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas and apply SPF 30 or higher to any exposed skin.
Apply a cold compress to the area if mild redness or warmth persists. Contact Med Aesthetics Miami at 305-356-7402 immediately if prolonged redness, blistering, or an unexpected skin reaction develops.
Avoid chemical peels and microneedling on laser-treated areas for a minimum of two weeks post-session.

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?
Most patients at Med Aesthetics Miami require 6 to 10 sessions per treatment area to achieve significant permanent hair reduction. Session count depends on the treatment area, hair density, skin tone, and individual hormonal factors. Med Aesthetics Miami builds a personalized session plan at the initial consultation based on each patient’s specific profile.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal produces a permanent reduction, not complete elimination. A significant portion of treated hair will not regrow. Some patients schedule one to two annual maintenance sessions to address any minor regrowth over time.
Does laser hair removal work on dark skin tones?
Yes. The Syneron Candela GentleYAG at the Aventura center and the Aerolase Neo at all three Med Aesthetics Miami locations use YAG technology that is safe and effective for dark skin tones. Both systems target hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin in darker complexions.
Does laser hair removal work on gray or blonde hair?
No. Laser energy targets melanin in the hair shaft. Gray and very light blonde hair contain insufficient melanin to absorb laser energy and respond to treatment. Med Aesthetics Miami assesses hair color during the initial consultation before recommending a series of sessions.
Can I receive laser hair removal during pregnancy?
No. Med Aesthetics Miami does not perform laser hair removal on pregnant patients. The safety of medical laser treatments during pregnancy has not been conclusively established, and Med Aesthetics Miami follows a precautionary protocol for all expectant patients.
What should I do before a laser hair removal session?
Shave the treatment area 12 to 24 hours before each session. Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks prior. Apply no creams, lotions, or perfumes to the treatment area on the day of the appointment. Avoid waxing or plucking for 6 weeks before the first session to keep the follicle intact and targetable. Full preparation guidance is available at Med Aesthetics Miami’s laser hair removal tips page.
What is the aftercare protocol following laser hair removal?
Apply aloe vera gel or a refreshing moisturizing lotion to the treated area for the first few days. Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF 30 or higher to exposed treated skin. Apply a cold compress if mild redness or warmth persists beyond 24 hours. Contact Med Aesthetics Miami at 305-356-7402 immediately if blistering or prolonged inflammation develops.
How much does laser hair removal cost in Miami?
Small-area six-session packages at Med Aesthetics Miami start at approximately $240. Medium areas range from $275 to $400 per session. Large areas range from $375 to $600 per session. The April 2026 promotion offers 30 percent off all laser hair removal packages. Call 305-356-7402 or visit monthly promotions for current pricing.
