How long should you wait before getting another laser hair removal treatment? This is a question we often get asked at Aura Laser Centers. This will largely depend on what area of your body is getting treated.
For example, treatments on your face are usually spaced apart at about 3-4 weeks. Other parts of the body such as the back, legs, chest are usually done every 8-12 weeks.
However, this can vary and will also be based on your skin type, hair color, and what an experienced technician believes will be optimal for your unique needs.
At Aura Laser we have done these procedures countless times, and our experience is often what sets us apart from the competition. We aim to get you the fastest results with 100% complete hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal Blog for Aura Laser Center a member of 1-800-LASERHAIR Network. Blog will provide information and facts on laser hair, laser tattoo, and laser vein removal as well as pricing, news, and industry related content.

Tampa's Laser Center gets ready to roll out Premium Nutritional Supplements: Vitamin D news
As Aura Laser Centers get ready to roll out their extensive nutritional line in the coming weeks, new news in the realm of multivitamins has recently been completed by Harvard Medical School. The information has a direct correlation to those living in Florida, where the sun shines bright most days of the year.
Vitamin D supplements reduce the arterial stiffness associated with pervasive vitamin D deficiency among black teens, even in sunny climes, researchers found.
Black teens in a randomized trial who took 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily saw a significant improvement in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity after 16 weeks (5.33 versus 5.41 m/s at baseline, P=0.031), reported Yanbin Dong, MD, PhD, of the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Ga., and colleagues.
Teens who got only 400 IU per day as a control group saw a worsening in arterial stiffness over the 16 week trial with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity rising from 5.38 m/s at baseline to 5.71 m/s at the end of the study (P=0.016).
Although the impact of high dose supplementation was relatively small, "such small favorable changes in adolescence might impact the development of cardiovascular diseases later in adulthood," the authors wrote in the October issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture suggests 200 IU as an adequate dietary intake of vitamin D, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends twice that for children and adolescents.
The researchers recommended that the level should be set even higher for black youth, who produce less endogenous vitamin D for the same sun exposure than those with lighter skin. The open-label Vitamin D Supplement Study for Adolescents included 49 black teens (mean age 16.3) recruited from high schools in the Augusta area in sunny Georgia.
It is more important than ever to ensure that individuals maintain a healthy weight, as well as receive proper nutrition. At Aura Laser Center's we will do a detailed body analysis to determine your ideal weight, nutrition, and supplementation needs. We aim to give you the body you desire, whether that be of a fitness athlete, or if you want to maintain just a healthier weight to prevent problems down the road.

Laser Hair Removal Pricing and Cost
Laser Hair Removal costs vary from geographic area to area. For example, one cannot expect to pay the same in Los Angeles or New York, as they would in Atlanta, Georgia, or Tampa, Florida. Each area has its unique costs, and unique demands on the industry. Moreover, a center in Miami or Sarasota Florida may be higher priced due to sunbathers, and recreational activities of the area where demand may be high. That being said, Laser Hair Removal Pricing may range based on your geographic area from the pricing below:
Body Area Prices PER SESSION
Full face $350-850
Upper lip $150-400
Chin $150-400
Underarms $200-350
Regular bikini $200-500
Brazilian bikini $250-500
Half legs (both) $300-750
Half arms (both) $300-750
Butt $300-500
Back $400-1000
Chest $200-550
Abdomen $200-600
Some of the more established Laser Hair Centers like Aura Laser Center will offer financing for clients. Moreover, some centers will also run specials on package deals. For example, if you are an individual who regularly gets facials, you may get a significant discount on laser hair removal if you sign up for some many facials or other services that the center has.

Fractional Laser has received approval by the FDA for stretch marks!
The Palomar Lux 1540 is a fractional laser that has recently won FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval for stretch marks! Multiple clinical studies have shown that the laser is effective at improving stretch marks between 51% and 75%.
As you may be aware a news state of the art Co2 Fractional Laser has recently been approved as well for Face-Lifts. Aura Laser Center operates this non-invasive procedure by simply using the laser just like one would on laser hair removal on the clients face, chest, etc. The laser has been touted as a huge breakthrough in the cosmetic industry because it has been able to reduce the the appearance of aging by 10 to 20 years. All this without any surgery. The only side effect being a condition similar to sunburn that may last around a week.

Aura Laser Center in the news!
Click Here for the Original St. Pete Times news story!
Swimsuit season will soon be here, and many women will check their underarms, legs and bikini line and wonder: Isn't there an alternative to shaving or (ouch!) waxing? How can I get rid of this hair? • And increasingly, men (some with the aid of their partners) are deciding that a hairy back is not an asset at the beach. • Two possible solutions are laser hair reduction and intense pulsed light treatment, known as IPL. Both use a source of energy to zap the cells that produce hair. Both require a series of treatments over many months. Both say they'll reduce body hair, but don't expect permanent removal of every single hair. There's always the chance that, months or years after treatment, hair can reappear.
HOW DO THEY WORK? Lasers use an intense, focused beam of light to attack the cells that grow hair. The laser specialist moves a wand or hand piece over the area being treated. The client may feel a little discomfort, often described as the feeling you get when a rubber band is snapped against your skin. (Everyone's pain threshold is different.) Some experience a little pinkness of skin afterward, like a slight sunburn; some don't.
IPL uses a broader spectrum of light. A device called a xenon flash lamp treats a larger area of the skin with intense pulses of light that attack the cells, with similar minor discomfort. For either treatment, sessions may last 15 to 30 minutes or longer, depending on the area being treated. (Lots of people do this on their lunch hour.)
HOW OFTEN? You'll need five to seven treatments spaced every three months or so. That's because hair grows in cycles, and dormant hairs won't be affected by the treatment. You may need occasional retouches later.
WHAT WILL IT COST? Prices vary from place to place, and you'll often see advertisements for specials. Joseph W. Zolton, vice president of 1-800-Laser Hair in Clearwater, says a full-body laser treatment will cost about $3,500, a simple chin treatment $500 "on the high side." Dr. Jeffrey A. Hunt of the Vein and Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay says prices for IPL treatment can range from $75 to $125 for an upper lip to $600 or $700 for legs.
IPL treatment is usually less expensive than laser. Ads often blur the distinction between lasers and IPLs, so be sure you understand which treatment you're signing up for and how many sessions are anticipated.
Potential hair-reduction clients should visit a clinic for a consultation, satisfy themselves about the kind of results that are achievable for their particular situation, and make sure they feel comfortable and confident about the procedure.
"We encourage people not to book that day, but to go home, think about it, educate themselves on the different procedures, shop around. You should get patient, customized care," Zolton said.
WHO SHOULD WORK ON YOU? Physicians can do hair removal procedures, but it's more likely the person who works on you will be licensed in Florida as a nurse practitioner, physician's assistant or certified medical electrologist.
WHO'S A CANDIDATE? Both these treatments rely on the equipment's ability to target hair's dark pigment. People with white, gray or very pale blond hair aren't good candidates. (So women of a certain age who find themselves sprouting white chin hairs will need to seek another form of treatment, such as electrolysis.) Some equipment doesn't work well on people with dark skin (that includes those with deeply tanned skin). It can burn or blotch the skin. Newer equipment works effectively on dark skin, so discuss this with the practitioner. Ask to see before-and-after photos of previous clients.
IPL vs. LASER: Laser advocates and IPL backers bump heads over the superiority of their respective techniques, debating the power and accuracy of their equipment. It's possible that with either technique, there can be regrowth of fine, downy hair that is too light in color to be removed with subsequent treatments. Dr. Barry DiBernardo, a plastic surgeon in Montclair, N.J., and a spokesman for the American Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, offers both IPL and laser treatment. He says some IPL equipment is only powerful enough to "get the easy hair but not the hard hair," but sophisticated programmable IPL equipment "can do a very good job, equal to that of lasers."
WHO HAS THIS DONE? Women, certainly, for cosmetic reasons, but men are starting to seek treatment, too. Dr. Jeffrey A. Hunt of the Vein and Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay recalled a male client who was half bald and sought IPL treatment because he was tired of shaving his remaining hair.
WHAT THE CLIENTS SAY: "I'd do it again in a heartbeat," said Kelly Machbitz, 42, of Clearwater, who has undergone laser treatment at 1-800-Laser Hair for legs, underarms and bikini line. She suffered from rashes and irritation after shaving, especially in summer. "After the third or fourth treatment," she said, she scarcely noticed a hair. "Now, I never shave. No more rashes or irritations. I never have to worry."
Dr. DiBernardo's 20-year-old daughter, Cristi, has her choice of laser or IPL treatment at her father's practice, and she consistently chooses IPL. When her dad asked why, she said, "I get good results, it's comfortable, and it works faster on my legs."
