What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that targets hair follicles with precise energy to inhibit future growth. This makes it an excellent alternative to temporary methods such as shaving, waxing, or plucking. Treatments can be performed on virtually any area of the face or body, including:
- Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
- Legs
- Arms
- Underarms
- Bikini line
- Back and chest

FAQs About Laser Hair Removal in St. Petersburg
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?
You may be a good candidate for laser hair removal in St. Petersburg if you:
- Want smooth, hair-free skin on your face or body
- Experience irritation, razor burn, or ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing
- Have hair with enough pigment to respond well to the treatment
- Are in good overall health and free from active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
A consultation with our licensed aesthetician Danielle Hernandez will determine whether laser hair removal is right for your goals and skin type.
What Happens During a Laser Hair Removal Session?
Your treatment begins with cleansing the targeted area. The Soprano ICE Platinum device is then used in one of several modes:
- SHR in Motion – Continuous movement for fast treatment of larger areas like the legs or back
- SHR STACK – Precise stationary applications for smaller areas such as the upper lip or bikini line
- HR Classic – Single-pulse delivery for targeted treatment of stubborn hairs
Most sessions take between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. No downtime is required, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after.
What should I expect with laser hair removal recovery?
After treatment, patients may experience mild redness similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours. It is important to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen on treated areas. Comprehensive aftercare instructions are provided.

Patient testimonialnothing short of amazing
“The CO2 laser facial resurfacing was, as expected, somewhat uncomfortable, but the dramatic improvement in skin tone, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles on this 67 year old face, is nothing short of amazing! My husband remarked that my skin is now “smooth and glowing”. Dr. Anthony is a talented, skilled surgeon, and he and his staff are professional, personable, and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend him!”
