Laser Hair Removal

Unwanted hair is a common concern for many individuals, both men and women but laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that can remove face and/or body hair. Laser hair removal works by emitting light energy into unwanted hair follicles in a treatment area. The energy penetrates the melanin in these follicles and the pigment is then absorbed by the energy, which destroys hair in that growth cycle. At Vein & Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay, in addition to laser skin resurfacing, we offer the latest laser hair removal options to help you reduce or eliminate hair growth and achieve smooth, touchable, and hair-free skin in treated areas with greater comfort and results than ever before.

Dr. Jeffrey Hunt, our board certified physician, performs hair removal using Fotona with FRAC3® technology at our state-of-the-art practice. This advanced laser light modality is designed to comfortably kill hair follicles for lasting hair removal for a wide array of areas, including the face, back, chest, legs, bikini, and more.

In the past, laser hair removal was only appropriate for certain patients. Advances in technology have made it possible to address a wide range of hair colors and skin types with typically excellent results. Introducing Fotona FRAC3®, an innovative and versatile laser hair removal technique that offers virtually pain-free hair reduction for both large and small areas. Fotona uses an Nd:Yag laser, which is designed for use on pale, medium, and even dark skin tones without causing damage to the surrounding tissue. During your initial consultation, we can determine if this method best suits your needs and goals.

Fotona utilizes proprietary FRAC3® technology, a 3D treatment pattern that makes addressing larger areas, like the back, legs, and chest, faster and easier than ever before. Fotona may require fewer treatment sessions to reduce unwanted hair, and there is typically no downtime, so you can get back to your life sooner. Sensitive areas, such as the face, bikini line, and neck, can be treated with little to no discomfort, and the deep penetrating laser offers longer-lasting results than traditional laser techniques. If you’re tired of shaving, waxing, or plucking, or if you’ve been disappointed by other laser hair removal modalities, Fotona may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
