Imagine freedom from razors, tweezing, waxing, stubble and ingrown hairs. No more embarrassing moments, or forfeited outings because you didn’t, or couldn’t, shave. Not to mention, realizing you forgot to pluck those ugly devils FOLLOWING that special event! Besides… who wants to cuddle with prickly stubs?
Unlike waxing, threading or plucking, there is no need to grow-out your hair. As a matter of fact, you must be clean shaven prior to treatment.
With smooth skin, who benefits the most? The one being touched…or the one doing the touching?
In Laser Hair Removal, light energy from the laser targets the melanin (color) in the hair just below the skin, inflicting injury to the cells lining the hair follicle, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected, inhibiting future growth.
Many describe the sensation similar to a small rubber band snapping at the skin.
Our system features a patented cooling mist sprayed milliseconds prior to the laser pulse for patient comfort and epidermal safety. No need for messy gels.
Aloe may be applied following the treatment to relieve any temporary discomfort.
During your free consultation, we will demonstrate how the laser works and administer a few pulses to ease any concerns.
When treated by a skilled technician on the appropriate laser, most clients recognize 70%-98% permanent reduction. Any hair remaining will grow back lighter and finer.
No one can predict the exact amount nor guarantee that other factors such as hormonal changes and medical considerations will not affect future growth.
There is no clinical evidence that the Candela Alexandrite Laser beam breaks down Botox or fillers, but the heat from the laser might contribute to quicker break-down.
At Laser Affair, we ask you to wait 2 weeks following injectables if you intend to have laser treatments in these areas.
With our state-of-the-art laser, you can expect actual laser treatment time on underarms to take about 5 minutes, a Brazilian bikini treatment takes about 15 minutes, full legs takes about 90 minutes.
The laser targets the melanin (color) in the hair shaft. Increased melanin (color) in the skin will compete for the laser energy intended for the hair follicle beneath the skin.
The presence of a tan can lead to discoloration of the skin and blistering.
Recent exposure to the sun, or tanning beds, stimulates melanocytes increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation (increased color) in the shape of the laser gauge.
Adding sun exposure (or extreme heat) sooner than 1 week following your treatment may also lead to adverse reactions.
Hyperpigmentation is not permanent, but may take anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more to resolve.
The pigment from spray tans or lotions will also compete for the laser energy; however, these are perfectly safe “following” your laser treatment.
Only a MD, DO, ARNP, PA, or CME may legally perform Laser Hair Reduction in the State of Florida.
At Laser Affair, treatments are performed by highly skilled, experienced, medically licensed Laser Specialists, in a discrete, comfortable, and compassionate environment.
Laser Hair Removal is a safe, lunch-time procedure with no recovery or downtime. Some patients may turn pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn, and there may be some swelling around the follicle (a sign of a successful treatment). These symptoms are only temporary.
You may return to work or play immediately following the treatment, so long as you adhere to certain rules.
For example, no sun exposure, or intense heat such as saunas or hot tubs for a couple of days following treatment.
Although very rare, hyper/hypo pigmentation and blistering can occur.
Our informed consent will explain all of the possible risks.
There are two basic types of radiation, Non-ionizing radiation, and Ionizing radiation.
Hair removal lasers produce “Non-ionizing” radiation which is simply the radiation of light, and is FDA approved for your skin.
Ionizing radiation, which represents x-rays, ultra-violet and nuclear radiation, is a completely different type of radiation, and is not produced by hair removal lasers.
We ask that you come in pre-shaved with squeaky clean skin.
Hair above the surface of the skin will absorb laser energy intended for the hair follicle.
Avoid waxing, plucking or depilatory creams for 4 weeks prior to treatment. Shaving or clipping is fine and expected.
Skin types IV will be required to have a spot test done 1-2 weeks prior to treatment.
Wait 7-10 days following microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or injectables prior to laser treatment.
Sun exposure and tanning beds must be avoided. It is recommended that SPF 30 be worn throughout your laser treatments. Sunless tanning is OK following treatment, but not prior.
Don’t worry if you forget to remove makeup, deodorant, lotion or cologne. Baby wipes will be provided for you.
I have been looking for a safe, clean, and reliable place for over two years now. After checking out a couple of popular places near my house, I found this place from google. When I called in and spoke with Mary Beth, I knew it was the right place for me. First, I did not feel forced or rushed. During my consultation visit, Mary Beth took the time to first explain the procedure, and then allowed time for questions and concerns. Second, the place is super clean. Third, Mary Beth is very efficient--if you have a busy schedule, she will somehow fit you in (she texts you with possible times), and you receive no-nonsene treatment, you will be in and out (there is parking right in front of the facility, so you do not have to drive around hunting for a spot, sweating in the meantime over fear of being late back to work). Prices are very reasonable, and so far I have seen excellent results. Another positive aspect is that they work with a physician (a real one!) who can prescribe medication (I have been suffering from some painful skin issues, which are almost entirely under control now). Most importantly for me, I know I am receiving honest service. So glad to see there are still some places out there where you know you will walk in and out with 100% satisfaction.

Getting laser hair removal done is definitely an investment, especially if you want it done right but it has been hands-down one of the best investments I have ever made for myself. Mary Beth with Laser Affair has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has truly given me the best experience and results I could’ve ever imagined. I was very nervous about what kind of results I was going to get and if it was honestly going to be with it. Mary Beth completely understood my concerns and talked me through everything making me feel as comfortable as possible. To say the least I am so happy with my results and beyond thankful I’ve made the decision to do this for myself. Trust me when I say this though if you are going to do it don’t just go anywhere, if you want honest results Mary Beth from Laser Affair is hands-down the one to see.

This is the place to go: friendly, reliable, consistent, and knowledgeable. After six treatments of full legs, modified bikini, happy trail, and underarms I would never go anywhere else. Though a significant financial investment, if you can afford to follow through you’ll get exactly the results they tell you, and they are very flexible and reasonable with details such as particularly stubborn patches of hair or future touch-ups. They’ll do things right the first time, and for those fearful of the pain they use a laser that shoots a mist of cold air with each pulse of the laser which makes a HUGE difference.

I couldn't be more happy with my experience with Laser Affair. Not only is Mary Beth such a wonderful person, but she has the knowledge, experience and the credentials to back it up. It was very important to me to find someone who had the best training and certifications to perform electrolysis. I researched places for a very long time and non were as forthcoming with their training and equipment they used as Laser Affair. After Mary Beth explained the process so thoroughly I knew I had found the place for me! She really goes above and beyond to make sure you understand everything, and to make sure you are physically comfortable while getting an effective treatment. I can't recommend Laser Affair enough!!

I had been thinking about laser hair removal for years. As a Latin with thick dark hair living in Florida it seemed logical. I had a consultation at Ideal Image and was quickly turned off by there peer pressure sales tactics and lack of knowledge. I then Googled and found Laser Affair. I called them along with a few other places but Mary Beth's knowledge, patience with all my questions and overall kindness won me over. I have had my underarms done for a year now and couldn't been more thrilled with my results. I will be going back in a few weeks to start my full body. If you are on the fence do yourself a favor get a consultation, Mary Beth explains everything in detail and truly makes you feel comfortable with the process. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Ive been considering laser for years. Went in for a consultation at ideal image about 8 yrs ago and never followed through. I been doing more research over the years and I came across laser affair and all these raving reviews. What hooked me was the fact that many people said how personable and comfortable they felt here and I have to tell u the reviews on Mary Beth are spot on. She made me feel so comfortable and the fact that she sat down with me and went over everything and when i say everything I mean EVERYTHING! There were no shortcuts, she explained the hair growth process, explained what the lasers do and how everything would work. She didnt rush me and she answered every question I had. She truly made me feel so comfortable and I’m very shy and awkward so for that I’m thankful. I did one treatment on my face and I can already tell the difference. My facial hair was thick and grew in fast and the growth is already slower and my face feels smoother which is crazy bc of the fact that u have to shave in between treatments. So just the fact that my face feels smooth and i dont feel stubble with shaving alone makes me truly amazed. Before i would have to tweeze for a couple hours just to feel smooth so the fact that all it takes is a quick shave and I’m smooth is something I’m in awe about and I’m very excited for my other treatments. If you’re considering it I would definitely recommend coming in to see Mary Beth. Trust me you wont regret it!

So, to start, the price and ease is spot on. Compared to what I was quoted from ideal image I must have saved over 60%. But then to top it off, Mary Beth and Jeanette are some of the sweetest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. You can truly tell that they want to earn your business and they are just good people. 10/10, five stars, two thumbs up. I would and have recommended them to anyone and everyone who is thinking about hair removal.
Megan Carothers
Absolutely love going here! I felt so embarrassed about my undesired hair but Mary Beth and Jennette helped me gain back my confidence!!! I have been going here for about 2 years now and the results are FABULOUS!!! Totally recommend them for any undesired hair removal;)
You’re well groomed 24/7!
