The Maercks Institute offers high-speed laser hair removal treatments to help our Miami patients get rid of the inconvenient, time-consuming practice of shaving. This procedure is also very beneficial for those who want to get rid of excessive body hair. At The Maercks Institute, we use the safe, gentle ClearScan YAG™ laser.

How laser hair removal works

Hair follicles are targeted and heated with laser energy. Pigment within the follicles then absorbs the light energy, which damages the follicle and causes it to be unable to grow hair anymore. The ClearScan YAG laser is different than others in that many hairs can be targeted at once, making it easier to treat larger areas. A computer-guided scanning system is used to automate treatment to further increase the speed and efficiency by which skin is treated. Because hair grows in phases, it will take multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. Our laser hair removal treatment in Miami is safe for all skin types, and offers the correct balance between safety and success.

Before laser hair removal

Before treatment, you will need to inform Dr. Maercks if you have recently used tanning products, a tanning bed, or if your skin has been exposed to the sun extensively in the last three weeks. If this is the case, your treatment plan will be adjusted to ensure that it is effective and safe. Do not wax or tweeze any hairs in the area that will be treated for at least six weeks, but do shave the day before your appointment (using a clean, new razor). During your consultation, Dr. Maercks will determine if you require a topical anesthetic cream before treatment.

What happens during a laser hair removal treatment

A laser light is used to scan the targeted area. The skin stays comfortable with the help of a continuous cooling device. If your skin is more sensitive, Dr. Maercks will apply a topical anesthetic cream. Treatment times vary based on the treated area. Dr. Maercks will determine how many treatments are necessary for your desired goals.

Recovery and results

Patients may notice slight swelling or redness in the treatment area that will fade after several hours. If any swelling or redness is persistent, we should be contacted immediately. Your skin may feel hot as if you’re sunburned. After treatment, the area must be kept clean, and sunscreen should always be used when outdoors. Patients should closely follow the post-procedure care directions that we provide you with after treatment. Following these instructions will ensure a safe and smooth recovery.

Avoid sun prolonged exposure for at least one week.
Do not wax or tweeze any hairs.
Avoid other skin treatments for two weeks after laser hair removal.
Avoid extremely hot water for at least 48 hours after treatment.
Do not apply makeup or perfume to the treated area for 48 hours.
Leave any blisters that you discover alone.
Don’t do anything that will make you perspire for at least 24 hours after laser hair removal.
