Laser Hair Removal in Maitland, FL
About Laser Hair Removal
If you live with unwanted hair, you’ve probably tried some of the typical solutions, such as tweezing, shaving, waxing, and electrolysis. These treatments worked but with short-term results. Intense pulsed light plays a key role in removing unwanted hair safely with outstanding results that last.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
- Long-Term Results: Can result in permanent hair reduction, meaning less frequent shaving or waxing.
- Precision: Targets dark, coarse hairs while leaving surrounding skin undamaged.
- Speed: Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at once.
- Cost-Effective: Can be more cost-effective in the long run compared to waxing or shaving over time.
- Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Significantly decreases the occurrence of ingrown hairs.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The Palomar hair removal handpiece emits pulses of light into the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the pigment in follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.
What Are Laser Hair Removal Treatments Like?
A topical gel will be applied and Dr. Serrão will move the handpiece over your skin. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin into the hair follicle. A flashing light, audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed. Most patients experience a little discomfort. Some patients may feel heat or a slight stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The Pro-Nox device is available for patients who desire addition comfort during the procedure
How Long Does the Treatment Usually Last?
The duration varies depending on your individual needs and the size of the area to be treated. Appointments usually range from a half hour to an hour. Small areas, such as the underarms or upper lip, can be treated in ten minutes or less, and even large areas, like the back or legs, can be treated in about one hour.
What Body Areas Can I Get Treated?
Any area may be treated, except directly around the eyes. The upper lip, face, neck, underarms, bikini line, chest, arms, back, and legs can all be treated.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts two to twenty-four hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs. The treated hair will continue to appear for seven to 30 days post-treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin. At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth. Therefore you will need more than one treatment to affect the growth of all your unwanted hair. Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Because hair can only be affected during certain growth cycles, several treatments are necessary. Usually five to seven sessions are required to achieve the desired effect.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The hair reduction should be permanent, though it will not eliminate 100 percent of hair growth, and occasional touch-ups may be necessary.
