Smooth skin. Lasting results. Personalized technology.
Unwanted hair can be frustrating, time-consuming, and difficult to manage with shaving, waxing, or plucking alone. At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, we offer physician-directed permanent laser hair reduction using multiple advanced technologies selected specifically for your skin type, hair color, hair thickness, and treatment goals. Rather than relying on a single device, we customize each treatment plan to maximize safety, comfort, and long-term results.
Our practice utilizes advanced diode laser technology, Nd:YAG laser technology, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair reduction when appropriate. This allows us to safely and effectively treat a wide variety of skin tones — including darker complexions — and many different treatment areas while minimizing discomfort and downtime.
Laser hair reduction can be performed almost anywhere unwanted hair grows. Popular treatment areas include the upper lip, chin, cheeks, neck, underarms, chest, abdomen, back, shoulders, arms, hands, bikini line, Brazilian, buttocks, legs, feet, and toes. Men frequently choose treatment for the beard line, chest, back, shoulders, and neck to reduce razor bumps and simplify grooming.
Many patients also notice smoother skin and improved confidence as hair growth becomes finer and less noticeable over time.
Selecting the right technology is especially important for patients with darker skin tones. Because we utilize multiple platforms, including Nd:YAG technology, we can safely customize treatments for a broad range of Fitzpatrick skin types. Your physician will determine the safest and most effective treatment approach during your consultation.
Most patients describe the sensation as brief warmth or a snapping feeling. Modern cooling technologies help improve comfort.
Sensitivity differs from person to person and between treatment areas. If discomfort is a concern for you, raise it at your complimentary consultation — it is a normal thing to ask and it changes how the appointment is planned.
Laser hair removal is the one treatment on our menu where people shop on price first, and we would rather be straight with you than quote a number that turns out to be wrong. There is no single price for laser hair removal, because there is no single treatment plan. Five things move the cost:
What we will not do is publish a headline number that only applies to the smallest area on the easiest skin type. At your consultation your physician confirms which technology your skin needs, how many sessions the area realistically takes, and what that costs across the options above — before you book anything. Laser hair memberships are set out by area size on the memberships page, and Cherry, Affirm and CareCredit are available if you would rather spread a package over time.
Patients experiencing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, razor bumps, or acne may benefit from combining laser hair reduction with physician-directed skincare, chemical peels, Aerolase Neo Elite®, red light therapy, or other treatments designed to improve overall skin health.
Every treatment plan is individualized rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol. By selecting the appropriate technology for your skin and hair characteristics, we help maximize long-term hair reduction while prioritizing safety, comfort, and natural-looking results.
Laser hair removal is widely available across Cooper City, Davie and Pembroke Pines, and most of it is sold as a package before anyone has looked closely at your skin. Here the technology is chosen by Dr. Ivy Lawson, a physician, and it is chosen for your Fitzpatrick type first — which is the difference between clearance and a pigment problem on deeper skin tones.
Your consultation is complimentary, and you leave it knowing the number before you commit to anything.
Laser hair reduction permanently reduces the number of actively growing hairs. Some maintenance treatments may be recommended over time because hormonal changes can stimulate new hair growth.
No technology can guarantee the permanent elimination of every hair. The medically accepted term is permanent hair reduction because treatments significantly reduce hair growth over time.
Yes. Our practice utilizes technologies, including Nd:YAG lasers, that can safely treat a broad range of skin tones when appropriate settings are selected.
Most patients require a series of treatments because hair grows in different cycles. Your physician will recommend a customized treatment schedule.
Most patients describe the sensation as brief warmth or a snapping feeling. Modern cooling technologies help improve comfort.
Yes. Reducing hair growth often significantly decreases ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and folliculitis.
Absolutely. Common treatment areas include the beard, neck, chest, back, and shoulders.
Yes. Shaving is encouraged before treatment, but waxing, plucking, or threading should be avoided because the hair follicle must remain intact for the laser to target it effectively.
There is no single price, because the plan is not the same for everyone. Cost is driven by the size of the treatment area, your hair and skin characteristics, the number of sessions in your series, and whether you pay per session, buy a package or join a laser hair membership priced by area size. Your treatment plan and its cost are confirmed at your consultation.
Book a consultation and get the technology, the session count and the cost for your areas — before you commit to anything.
