Unwanted hair can be more than a nuisance; it’s time-consuming to manage and often frustrating to keep up with. Laser hair removal at Clark Institute for Aesthetics offers a powerful, long-lasting alternative to shaving, waxing, or creams, allowing you to delay hair growth for months or even years.

A Sophisticated Solution to Everyday Hair Removal

For busy individuals, regular hair removal can quickly become a chore. Traditional methods require attention every 1–2 weeks, and missed appointments often mean irritation or uneven results. Laser hair removal is a modern solution that significantly reduces the need for constant maintenance, making it one of our most popular non-surgical treatments.

Patients turn to Clark Institute for physician-led precision, customized treatment plans, and results that feel nearly permanent—without the hassle of daily upkeep. Our expert team in Winter Park, FL, uses advanced laser technology to safely target unwanted hair in a private, luxury medical environment led by board-certified physicians.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal uses high-powered, concentrated light energy to target melanin (pigment) within the hair follicle. As the pigment absorbs the light, it converts to heat, damaging the follicle to inhibit or delay future growth.

Because the laser targets hair in the active growth phase, multiple sessions are typically needed for full results. Over time, treated hair becomes finer, lighter, and sparser, with many patients enjoying long-term smoothness after completing their series.

What Causes Excess Hair Growth?

Unwanted hair can occur for many reasons:

Genetics
Hormonal fluctuations
Certain medications
Metabolic issues
Malnutrition
Tumors or endocrine disorders

During your consultation for laser hair removal in Orlando & Winter Park, FL, our physicians will evaluate potential underlying causes to ensure the best and safest treatment plan for your specific needs.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, previous hair removal methods, and assess:

Tattoos or moles
Skin tone and tanning history
Hair thickness, color, and type
Any history of scarring, cold sores, or skin conditions

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal in Orlando

Before your first session, you’ll receive pre-treatment instructions to minimize risks and optimize results:

Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanners
Use SPF 30+ when outdoors
Shave the treatment area; avoid plucking, waxing, or electrolysis
Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or anti-inflammatories, if possible

After treatment, applying cold compresses and continuing sun protection is key. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure for several weeks to minimize the risk of pigmentation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Laser hair removal sessions are typically brief, lasting 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may feel a warm snapping sensation as the laser pulses, but discomfort is minimal and requires no anesthesia.

Areas with thinner skin and finer hair (like the armpits or bikini line) usually respond fastest, while areas with coarse hair (like the legs or chest) may require additional sessions. On average, you can expect:

10–20% reduction in visible hair after the first treatment
Noticeable thinning and slower regrowth with each session
Best results after a series of 6–8 treatments, spaced several weeks apart

Risks and Side Effects

Laser hair removal is generally safe, but following pre- and post-treatment instructions is essential to minimize complications. Possible side effects include:

Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness (usually resolves within hours)
Temporary skin lightening or darkening, especially if sun exposure isn’t avoided
Follicular swelling or redness for a few days
Rarely, blistering, acne flare-ups, or infection

Your provider will discuss your unique risk profile and provide clear guidance on aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions

How permanent is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth long-term, but it isn’t technically “permanent.” Most patients enjoy smooth skin for months to years, with occasional maintenance treatments to address minimal regrowth.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin tones?

With the right technology and settings, yes. Our providers select laser parameters carefully based on your skin tone and hair contrast to minimize pigmentation risks and maximize effectiveness.

How soon will I see results?

You’ll see thinner, finer regrowth within a few weeks of your first session. Most patients notice a visible reduction after 2–3 sessions, with optimal results after completing the full series.

Does it work on light or gray hair?

Laser hair removal works best on dark hair, as it relies on pigment for targeting. Light blonde, red, or gray hair may not respond well. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations based on your hair color.

Can I get laser hair removal if I have tattoos or moles in the area?

Yes, but these areas are typically covered or avoided during treatment to prevent pigment changes or burns. Our experienced team will map the area carefully before starting.

Is there a preferred time of year for treatment?

Fall and winter are ideal seasons since reduced sun exposure lowers the risk of pigmentation, but treatments can be performed year-round with diligent SPF use and compliance with pre- and post-care instructions.
