Tired of the daily shave? Fed up with painful waxing appointments? You’re not alone. If you’re spending hours each month dealing with unwanted hair, laser hair removal at Manhattan Laser Spa in Sunny Isles Beach offers a better solution.
Here’s the thing: traditional hair removal methods are temporary, time-consuming, and often painful. Laser hair removal targets the root of the problem (literally) by destroying hair follicles with precision laser technology. The result? Long-lasting smoothness that saves you time, money, and frustration.
Whether you live in Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura, Bal Harbour, or nearby communities like North Miami Beach and Golden Beach, our medical spa provides FDA-cleared laser treatments that work for virtually all skin types and hair colors.
Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair removal doesn’t just remove surface hair. It uses concentrated beams of light that target the melanin (pigment) in your hair follicles. The laser energy gets absorbed by the pigment, which heats up and damages the follicle enough to slow down or stop future growth.
The science behind it is solid. Hair grows in three phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Laser treatments are most effective during the anagen phase, which is why multiple sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart give you the best results.
What does this mean for you? After a full treatment series, you’ll see a significant reduction in hair growth. Any regrowth tends to be finer, lighter, and much easier to manage. Many clients experience permanent hair reduction in treated areas.
Why Choose Manhattan Laser Spa for Laser Hair Removal?We’re not just another med spa. Manhattan Laser Spa operates under medical supervision with certified laser technicians who’ve treated thousands of clients across all skin types. Our team brings years of experience with advanced laser systems, including diode laser technology, alexandrite lasers, and Nd:YAG lasers.
Here’s what sets us apart in Sunny Isles Beach:
Medical-Grade Technology: We use only FDA-cleared laser equipment with built-in cooling systems to keep you comfortable during treatment. Our lasers are calibrated for effectiveness and safety across the Fitzpatrick scale (skin types I-VI).
Personalized Treatment Plans: Your skin is unique. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin tone, hair type, and treatment goals to create a customized plan. We’ll also perform patch testing to determine the optimal laser settings for your needs.
Experienced Technicians: Each member of our team is trained and certified to administer laser treatments safely. They understand how to adjust settings based on your hair thickness, density, and skin sensitivity.
Comprehensive Care: From pre-treatment prep to post-treatment skincare protocols, we guide you through every step. We’ll explain shaving requirements, sun protection recommendations, and how to get the most from your sessions.
Treatment Areas: From Face to Full BodyWe can treat virtually any area where you have unwanted hair. Common treatment areas include:
Face and Neck: Upper lip, chin, jawline, sideburns, and full face laser hair removal for those dealing with excess facial hair.
Body: Underarms, arms (full or half), legs (upper, lower, or full), back, chest, shoulders, and abdomen.
Bikini and Brazilian: From basic bikini line to full Brazilian laser hair removal, we offer comfortable treatments for sensitive areas.
The size of the treatment area affects session length. Small areas like the upper lip take just a few minutes, while larger areas like full legs or back might take 20-30 minutes per session.
Wondering what the process actually looks like? Here’s a realistic walkthrough:
Initial Consultation: We start with a thorough skin assessment. You’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns. We’ll explain how many sessions you’ll likely need (typically 4-8 for most areas) and what results to expect based on your hair and skin type.
Pre-Treatment Prep: Before your first session, you’ll need to shave the treatment area. Don’t wax or pluck—the laser needs the hair follicle intact. Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment, as tanned or sunburned skin can’t be safely treated.
During Treatment: Your technician will apply a cooling gel and provide protective eyewear. The laser device will be pressed against your skin, delivering quick pulses of light. You might feel a mild snapping sensation or warmth, but most clients say it’s far less painful than waxing. Our cooling systems minimize discomfort significantly.
Post-Treatment Care: Some redness or slight swelling is normal and typically fades within a few hours. You’ll need to avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to protect your skin and maximize results.
Follow-Up Sessions: You’ll return every 4-8 weeks for additional treatments. With each session, you’ll notice less hair growth. By your third or fourth session, many clients see a dramatic reduction.
Pain tolerance varies, but here’s what most people experience: laser hair removal feels like a rubber band snapping against your skin. It’s not pain-free, but it’s typically much more comfortable than waxing.
Areas with thicker, coarser hair (like the bikini area or underarms) tend to be more sensitive. Areas with finer hair (like arms or legs) are usually less uncomfortable.
The good news? Modern laser technology includes cooling mechanisms that make treatments significantly more comfortable than older systems. Many clients describe it as tolerable, quick, and definitely worth it for the long-term results.
If you’re concerned about discomfort, we can discuss numbing cream application for particularly sensitive areas.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?Most clients need 4-8 sessions for optimal results, but this varies based on several factors:
Hair Growth Cycles: Since hair grows in phases and not all follicles are active at once, multiple treatments are needed to catch them all during their growth phase.
Treatment Area: Areas with hormonal hair growth (like the face in women or back in men) may require more sessions.
Hair Color and Thickness: Dark, coarse hair responds fastest to laser treatment. Light blonde, red, or gray hair contains less melanin and may need additional sessions.
Skin Tone: Darker skin tones require specific laser settings and may need more treatments to achieve the same results safely.
During your consultation at our Sunny Isles Beach location, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Laser hair removal works best for people with dark hair and lighter skin, but advances in technology mean we can safely treat a much wider range of skin tones and hair colors.

Benefits Beyond Smooth SkinThe obvious benefit is permanent hair reduction, but there’s more:
Time Savings: Think about how much time you spend shaving or scheduling waxing appointments. Laser hair removal eliminates this ongoing maintenance.
Cost-Effective: While the upfront cost is higher than a razor or wax appointment, it pays for itself over time. No more buying razors, shaving cream, or paying for regular waxing.
No More Ingrown Hairs: If you struggle with painful ingrown hairs (especially in the bikini area or on legs), laser hair removal can be life-changing. By destroying the follicle, it prevents those painful bumps.
Confidence Boost: There’s something freeing about not worrying whether you shaved recently. Whether you’re at the beach in Sunny Isles or hitting the gym, you’ll feel confident in your skin.
Better Skin Texture: Many clients notice smoother, clearer skin after laser treatments, with less irritation and fewer razor bumps.

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction. While it’s often marketed as “permanent,” most people experience a significant reduction (80-95%) in hair growth rather than complete elimination. The remaining hair is typically much finer and lighter. Periodic maintenance treatments (every 6-12 months) can help maintain your results. The FDA approves laser hair removal for “permanent hair reduction,” which means a significant decrease in the number of hairs that grow back.
Yes, modern laser technology can safely treat all skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale (I-VI). However, the approach varies by skin tone. Lighter skin with dark hair sees the fastest results. Darker skin tones require specific laser types (like Nd:YAG lasers) and careful calibration to avoid skin damage. At Manhattan Laser Spa, our technicians are experienced in treating diverse skin tones safely and effectively. We’ll assess your skin during consultation and use the appropriate laser settings for your complexion.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair because the laser targets melanin (pigment) in the follicle. Light blonde, red, white, or gray hair contains minimal melanin, making it difficult for traditional lasers to effectively target. However, some newer technologies can treat lighter hair with varying success. During your consultation, we’ll honestly assess whether laser hair removal will work for your hair color or suggest alternative solutions.
Yes, you can and should shave between treatments. Shaving only removes hair above the skin’s surface while leaving the follicle intact, which is what the laser needs to target. Avoid plucking, waxing, or threading during your treatment series, as these methods remove the entire hair follicle and interfere with laser effectiveness. Most clients find they need to shave less frequently as treatments progress.
We can treat most body areas where unwanted hair grows. However, we avoid treating directly over tattoos, as the laser can affect tattoo pigment and potentially cause skin damage. We also can’t treat eyelashes or inside the ear or nose for safety reasons. If you have moles, birthmarks, or other skin irregularities in the treatment area, we’ll work around them or assess whether treatment is safe.
You might notice shedding of treated hair within 1-2 weeks after your first session. This is normal and a sign the treatment is working. However, visible reduction in hair growth typically becomes apparent after 2-3 treatments. Remember that hair grows in cycles, so not all follicles are active during each session. Patience is important as you progress through your treatment series.
Most people experience mild, temporary side effects like redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few hours to a day. More serious side effects are rare when treatments are performed by trained professionals using appropriate settings. To minimize risks, follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully, especially regarding sun exposure. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history to identify any potential contraindications.
