Frequently asked

We believe in enhancing what you already have — not building something new. Our tagline says it best: We don't build beauty. We enhance what you already have — at your best. Every treatment plan starts with listening to what you want, not pushing what we sell. We're results-driven, medically precise, and committed to making sure your outside reflects the work you've already put in on the inside.

We serve anyone in Florida who values transparent pricing, bilingual care, and results over hype. Our primary communities include Florida's Brazilian population — for whom we offer full Portuguese-language care — and local professionals and active adults between 35 and 54 who are ready for a consistent, trusted aesthetic partner. We also serve a growing number of post-GLP-1 patients looking to complete their transformation with body contouring and skin tightening.

Three things: we publish every price publicly (no 'call for a quote'), we offer completely bilingual care in English and Portuguese, and we cover eight treatment categories under one roof. Most clinics specialize in one or two areas and hide their pricing. We believe transparency builds trust, and that your aesthetics journey shouldn't require you to translate your questions or guess the cost.

Yes — fully. Our clinical team is fluent in both English and Brazilian Portuguese. You can book, consult, ask questions, and follow up entirely in Portuguese if that's your preference. For Florida's Brazilian community, My Laser Clinic was specifically built to be the first place that truly hears you in your own language. No intermediaries, no translation delays — just direct, fluent care.

Because you deserve to know the cost before you walk through our door. Every other clinic in Florida hides their pricing behind a consultation requirement — we think that's wrong. Transparent pricing is one of our core values and our biggest competitive differentiator. You'll find real prices on every treatment page, sourced directly from our current menu. No asterisks, no 'starting at' tricks without explanation.

Yes — through Cherry, our pay-in-4 financing partner. Cherry allows you to split your treatment cost into four manageable payments with no impact on your credit score. Approval is fast and available at checkout. Whether you're starting a Mounjaro program, booking Morpheus 8, or scheduling a series of laser sessions, Cherry makes it accessible. You can apply at pay.withcherry.com/mylaser-clinic or ask us when you book.

Treatment packages and multi-session discounts are discussed at your complimentary consultation. Because every client's needs differ — in terms of area, sessions, and treatment combination — we prefer to build personalized plans rather than offer one-size-fits-all packages. Your provider will walk you through recommended sessions and pricing during your free first visit. No obligation required.

Most of our treatments are elective aesthetic procedures and are not covered by health insurance. However, some medically supervised programs — such as GLP-1 therapy for weight management — may intersect with insurance depending on your plan and provider. We recommend checking with your insurance carrier. Cherry financing is always available for treatments that are not covered. We're happy to discuss this during your consultation.

The easiest way is to message us on WhatsApp — most replies come within 2 hours, in English or Portuguese. You can also call the clinic directly. Online booking is coming soon. Consultations are always complimentary — there's no fee to meet with a licensed provider and discuss your goals. Head to our Book page and tap 'Message us on WhatsApp' to get started right now.

Yes, always. Your initial consultation with a licensed medical provider is completely free and carries no obligation. We believe you should be able to have a real conversation about your goals, hear an honest recommendation, and understand pricing before you commit to anything. We never charge a consultation fee to tell you what a treatment costs.

Your first visit is a consultation with one of our licensed providers. We'll review your goals, skin type, health history, and any prior treatments. Your provider will walk you through the most appropriate treatment options, explain the expected process, and provide a written price estimate. Most consultations take 30–45 minutes. There's no pressure to book on the day — we want you to feel confident before moving forward.

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. This allows us to offer that time to another patient. We understand that life happens — please just reach out via WhatsApp or phone as soon as you know. Repeated last-minute cancellations may affect your ability to book certain appointment types. Questions? Just ask us.

Laser Hair Removal, Body Contouring, Facial Rejuvenation, PRP Therapies, Collagen & Tightening, Contour & Harmony (injectables), Wellness & Weight Loss, and Removal Treatments. Each category has its own dedicated page with specific services and published pricing. The '8 categories under one roof' structure means you don't have to manage multiple providers or clinics to address different aesthetic goals.

Absolutely — that's exactly what the consultation is for. You don't need to come in with a plan; you just need to come in with your goals. Our providers will assess your unique anatomy, skin type, and lifestyle, and recommend the treatment — or combination of treatments — most likely to get you where you want to be. Message us on WhatsApp with a brief description of your concern and we'll point you in the right direction before your visit.

Yes, and many clients benefit most from a combination approach. For example: GLP-1 with body contouring and skin tightening, PRP with Morpheus 8 for synergistic collagen rebuilding, or a laser hair removal series alongside facial rejuvenation. Your provider will help you sequence treatments safely and effectively — some can be done in the same visit, others are best spaced out. We'll build a clear, honest plan with full pricing.

It depends on the treatment. Some — like injectables or peels — show visible changes within days. Others — like Morpheus 8, PRP, or GLP-1 — work progressively over weeks and months as your body's biology does the real work. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation. We don't overpromise, but our patients consistently see meaningful results when they follow their recommended protocols.

Yes. All treatments at My Laser Clinic are performed by or under the supervision of licensed Florida-based medical providers. We operate as a medical aesthetics practice, not a day spa — every treatment on our menu is delivered within a clinical, regulated framework. Medical-grade devices, sterile technique, and proper patient evaluation are non-negotiable standards at every location.

Yes. All devices used at My Laser Clinic — including our laser hair removal systems, Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling platform, and laser removal technology — are FDA-cleared or meet equivalent medical device standards. We do not use consumer-grade or uncleared equipment. Your provider will confirm the specific device being used at your consultation and answer any questions you have.

Most of our treatments are safe for a wide range of skin types and tones, including darker Fitzpatrick skin types. Laser hair removal and tattoo removal require careful parameter selection based on your skin tone — our team is specifically trained to treat diverse skin safely. During your consultation, we perform a thorough skin assessment and may do a patch test when appropriate. Inclusive care for all skin types is a core commitment.

Most aesthetic treatments — including laser procedures, injectables, chemical peels, Morpheus 8, and GLP-1 therapy — are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or currently breastfeeding, please let your provider know before scheduling. We will always prioritize your safety and wait until it's medically appropriate to begin or resume treatment. Some non-invasive options like IV therapy may still be possible — your provider will confirm.

Yes. My Laser Clinic was built from the ground up to serve English and Portuguese-speaking patients equally. Every provider, receptionist, and support team member can communicate in both languages. You will never be handed off to a translator or asked to repeat yourself in a second language. From your first WhatsApp message to your last follow-up, everything is available in the language you're most comfortable in.

Yes. All of our pre-treatment and post-treatment care materials — printed and digital — are available in both English and Brazilian Portuguese. Our website, this FAQ, our booking flow, and our WhatsApp communication are all bilingual. If you ever need clarification on any material in Portuguese, our team is available and responsive via WhatsApp.

Florida is home to one of the largest Brazilian diaspora communities in the United States — and the aesthetics industry had largely ignored them. Brazilian culture has a deep, sophisticated relationship with aesthetic medicine; yet for years, Brazilian women in Florida had to navigate care in a language and cultural context that wasn't theirs. We built My Laser Clinic specifically to close that gap — with bilingual care, culturally fluent staff, and a brand voice that reflects who our patients actually are.

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or light heat — similar to a rubber band flick. Modern laser systems include cooling technology that significantly reduces discomfort. Sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms tend to be more intense than legs or arms. Topical numbing cream is available on request. The vast majority of patients tolerate treatment well and notice reduced sensation with each subsequent session as hair follicles diminish.

Most patients achieve significant, long-lasting reduction in 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair color, thickness, skin tone, and treatment area. Coarser, darker hair on lighter skin responds fastest; finer or lighter hair may require additional sessions. After your initial series, most patients book 1–2 maintenance sessions per year. Your provider will estimate a personalized session count at your consultation.

Yes, when performed with the right equipment and trained providers. Our team is experienced in treating the full Fitzpatrick scale. Darker skin tones require specific laser wavelengths and settings to safely target the follicle without affecting surrounding melanin. We assess each patient's skin type individually and use proven protocols for safe, effective treatment across all tones. A patch test is performed when appropriate.

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment — this ensures the laser targets the root rather than the surface hair shaft. Do not wax, thread, or pluck for at least 4 weeks prior, as the follicle must be intact. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for at least two weeks before treatment. Come to your appointment with clean, product-free skin. Your provider will walk you through any additional prep based on the treatment area.

Peach Lift is our Liquid BBL — a non-surgical alternative to the traditional Brazilian Butt Lift. Instead of fat transfer or implants, Peach Lift uses biocompatible injectable gel (300ml) to enhance curves, restore volume, and improve contour in the buttock and hip area. It's designed for natural-looking enhancement with no surgery, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime. Results are immediate with final results settling over 4–6 weeks.

Downtime varies by procedure. After Peach Lift, we typically advise avoiding prolonged sitting or direct pressure on the treated area for 2–4 weeks to allow optimal result settling. Light swelling and tenderness for the first 48–72 hours is normal. Most patients resume daily activities within a day or two. Your provider will give you specific post-care guidelines, including any activity restrictions, at your appointment.

Initial enhancement is visible immediately after the Peach Lift procedure. As swelling subsides and the product integrates, final results settle over 4–6 weeks. Volume and contour improvements typically last 12–18 months. For patients combining body contouring with skin tightening treatments like Morpheus 8, we usually recommend spacing these modalities strategically — your provider will outline the timing.

Yes — and it's one of our most requested treatment combinations. Post-GLP-1 patients often experience changes in skin laxity and volume distribution that body contouring can address directly. Peach Lift can restore curves and volume; Morpheus 8 or Radiesse can address skin tightening. We time treatments based on your weight stability — typically once your weight has been stable for 2–3 months. Your medical provider will review your GLP-1 status as part of the consultation.

That depends on your primary concern. The LHA LA Peel targets uneven tone and pigmentation; the Hollywood Peel (carbon laser peel) is perfect for dullness, enlarged pores, and texture; the Peeling Dead Sea is excellent for circulation and luminosity; Skinbooster (PDRN/exosome therapy) is ideal for deep hydration and elasticity; MyLips addresses lip texture and hydration. Many clients combine treatments across multiple visits. Your provider will assess your skin and recommend the right starting point at your consultation.

Frequency varies by treatment. The Hollywood Peel can be done as often as once a month with no downtime. Chemical peels like LHA LA Peel are typically performed every 4–6 weeks as a series of 3–6. Skinbooster treatments are often recommended 2–4 times per year. MyLips sessions can be scheduled every 4–8 weeks. Your provider will create a personalized maintenance plan based on your skin's response and long-term goals.

Sun exposure should be minimized before and after most facial treatments. Post-peel skin is more photosensitive and vulnerable to hyperpigmentation, especially in Florida's intense sunlight. We recommend wearing broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily — even on cloudy days — and avoiding direct sun exposure for at least 7–14 days after chemical peel treatments. Your provider will give specific guidance based on the treatment received.

Come with clean, makeup-free skin. Discontinue retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and other active ingredients for 3–5 days prior if you're having a peel. Avoid exfoliating the day before. For Skinbooster, avoid blood-thinning supplements like fish oil or aspirin for a few days if cleared by your doctor. Let your provider know about any recent skincare procedures, medical conditions, or medications — this helps us select the safest and most effective protocol for you.

PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma — is derived from your own blood. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors and platelets. When re-applied through microneedling (for the face) or injected into the scalp (for hair), these growth factors stimulate your body's own regenerative processes — triggering new collagen production, accelerating cell turnover, and strengthening follicles. Because it uses your own biology, rejection risk is essentially zero.

Yes — PRP uses only your own blood, making it one of the most biocompatible treatments available. The process is similar to a standard blood draw and is performed by our licensed medical team using sterile, single-use equipment. Allergic reactions are extremely rare. Side effects are typically limited to mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site, which resolves within a few days. PRP has a long, well-documented safety record in both aesthetics and orthopedic medicine.

For facial rejuvenation, most patients see best results from an initial series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months. For PRP hair restoration, 3–4 sessions are commonly recommended in the first year, with quarterly or biannual maintenance thereafter. Individual response varies — your provider will track your progress and recommend additional sessions based on results.

Recovery from PRP is minimal. Facial PRP (via microneedling) typically results in 24–48 hours of redness and mild swelling — similar to a sunburn. Scalp PRP may cause mild tenderness or slight swelling at injection sites for 1–2 days. Most patients return to work the next day. We advise avoiding intense sun exposure, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Full results develop over 4–8 weeks as collagen production responds.

Morpheus 8 is a device-based treatment — radiofrequency energy delivered via microneedles deep into the dermis to remodel collagen and tighten skin from the inside out. Radiesse is an injectable biostimulator that provides immediate volumizing while also triggering long-term collagen production. Morpheus 8 is best for texture, tightening, and scar reduction; Radiesse is better for structural volume restoration and biostimulation. Many patients benefit from both — often sequenced over multiple appointments.

Morpheus 8 involves a topical numbing cream applied 45–60 minutes before treatment, which significantly reduces discomfort. During the procedure, most patients feel moderate heat and pressure — it's intense but tolerable. The depth of treatment varies by area; some zones are more sensitive than others. Post-treatment, the area may feel similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Most patients describe the experience as manageable and well worth the results.

Most providers recommend 1–3 sessions of Morpheus 8, depending on the degree of laxity, texture concern, and desired outcome. Sessions are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow collagen remodeling to progress between treatments. Results continue to improve for 3–6 months after each session. A single session can produce meaningful results; optimal remodeling often comes from a 2–3 session series. Your provider will assess your tissue and recommend accordingly.

Not permanent, but long-lasting. Morpheus 8 results can last 1–3 years depending on your skin's natural aging process, sun exposure, and lifestyle. Radiesse provides immediate volume that lasts 12–18 months while its biostimulation effects can extend benefits further. Neither treatment stops aging, but both significantly slow and reverse visible laxity and volume loss. Maintenance sessions keep results consistent over time.

Not with our approach. We prioritize natural-looking results that preserve your expressions while smoothing the lines that age or bother you. Botox outcomes depend heavily on dosing precision and placement — which is why we use licensed providers with a careful, conservative hand. Our philosophy in injectable treatments mirrors our brand: enhancement, not alteration. You should look like you — rested, refreshed, and confident — not like you've had work done.

Longevity depends on the filler product, the treatment area, and your metabolism. Lip fillers typically last 6–12 months; cheek and jawline fillers can last 12–18 months or longer. We use hyaluronic acid fillers that are reversible with hyaluronidase if needed, which adds an important safety margin. Consistent maintenance — rather than waiting until product is fully resorbed — tends to yield the most natural-looking long-term results.

Starting with injectables for the first time is a big decision, and we respect that. Our approach for first-timers is always conservative — we start lower in dose and coverage, assess the results, and build incrementally. Your consultation will cover what to realistically expect, where we recommend starting, and the full cost before anything is scheduled. Many patients find that a single area (like forehead Botox or a small amount of lip filler) gives them the confidence to continue. No pressure — ever.

Yes, and it's a common and effective combination. Botox addresses dynamic lines caused by muscle movement; fillers address volume loss and static lines. Together, they provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation that neither treatment achieves alone. The Liquid Lift — combining both in a single session — is one of our most requested treatments. Your provider will map out both components at your consultation and confirm which areas are safe to treat simultaneously.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide, a GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist) is typically appropriate for adults with a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition, or a BMI of 30 or higher. Medical suitability is determined by your licensed provider at your consultation — this is a required first step. We review your full health history, current medications, and metabolic markers. If Mounjaro isn't right for you, we'll discuss alternatives. We do not prescribe without a proper medical evaluation.

GLP-1 programs like Mounjaro are typically long-term — most patients commit to 12 months or more to achieve and maintain meaningful weight loss. The medication is introduced at a low dose and titrated over several weeks. We monitor your progress monthly, adjust dosing as needed, and begin planning the aesthetic transition — body contouring, skin tightening — once your weight stabilizes. The program continues as long as it is medically appropriate and you're benefiting.

We typically recommend starting body contouring — like Peach Lift or Morpheus 8 — once your weight has been stable for 2–3 months on GLP-1 therapy. Treating a body that's still actively changing can compromise results. The exception is non-volume-adding treatments like skin tightening, which some patients begin earlier in their journey. Your medical provider and aesthetics team will coordinate your full arc together — that's one of the advantages of having everything under one roof.

It means a licensed Florida medical provider oversees every aspect of your program — from initial eligibility review to ongoing dose management. You'll have regular check-ins to assess progress, address side effects, and adjust your plan. You'll have access to our bilingual team via WhatsApp between visits. Mounjaro is not prescribed online with no follow-up — we treat this as a full medical program, not just a script.

Most tattoo colors respond well to laser removal, but some are more challenging than others. Black and dark blue inks are the most responsive. Red, orange, yellow, and green pigments require specific laser wavelengths and may need additional sessions. White ink and some cosmetic pigments can paradoxically darken before they lighten — your provider will discuss this at your patch test session. We'll give you an honest assessment of what's achievable for your specific ink before you commit to a full program.

Most tattoos require 6–12 sessions for significant fading or complete removal. Factors include ink density, color, depth, age of the tattoo, your immune system's efficiency, and skin tone. Amateur tattoos often clear faster than professional ones. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow your immune system to flush the broken-down pigment. Your provider will estimate a range at your consultation and adjust expectations as results progress.

Scarring is rare when laser removal is performed correctly by trained providers with appropriate equipment. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, blistering, and changes in skin texture that resolve with proper aftercare. Following your post-treatment care instructions carefully — especially keeping the area clean, protected from sun, and avoiding picking — significantly reduces risk. If a pre-existing scar exists under the tattoo, this will be discussed at your consultation.

Tattoo removal laser is typically more intense than tattoo application — described by most patients as a rapid snapping sensation with significant heat. Numbing cream can be applied before treatment to reduce discomfort. Sensitive areas, heavily saturated ink, and certain colors tend to be more intense. The sensation decreases as the ink fades over subsequent sessions. We always have a patient-comfort conversation before starting, and our team adjusts treatment parameters to keep your experience as comfortable as possible.
