If you’re tired of the constant cycle of hair removal, you’re probably deciding between waxing and laser hair removal. At Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics, we offer both expert insight and proven results—and when it comes to long-term savings and smoother skin, laser hair removal comes out on top.
Let’s break down the facts and show you why laser hair removal is not only more effective but more cost-efficient in the long run—especially for popular areas like the Brazilian.
Cost Breakdown: Waxing vs. Laser Hair Removal
A typical Brazilian wax costs around $60–$80 per session, depending on the location and spa. Most people need waxing every 4–6 weeks, which means 10–12 visits a year. That adds up to $700–$1,000 per year, every year—with no end in sight.
Now let’s compare that to laser hair removal. At Skintellect, a single Brazilian laser session is $175. We generally recommend a series of 9 sessions for optimal results, spaced out over several months. That totals $1,575, but the key difference? It’s a one-time investment with long-term results. After the initial series, most patients only need a touch-up once or twice a year—if at all.
In just two years, you’ll likely spend more on waxing than you would on a full laser hair removal treatment series—with zero reduction in hair growth. Laser, on the other hand, gives you permanent reduction and smoother, clearer skin.
Skin Health Matters: Why Waxing Can Do More Harm Than Good
Waxing may seem like a simple way to remove hair, but it comes with several downsides—especially in sensitive areas like the Brazilian.
Repeated waxing over time can lead to:
Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin)
Ingrown hairs and irritation
Skin laxity from repeated pulling
Sensitivity and discomfort during regrowth phases
When waxing removes the hair, it also strips away the top layer of skin, which increases sensitivity and can lead to trauma in the area. This inflammation—especially if waxing is done frequently—triggers melanin production and contributes to darkening of the skin over time.
Laser hair removal doesn’t involve pulling or tearing. Instead, it uses focused light energy to target the hair follicle directly, damaging it at the root. The result? Smooth skin, fewer ingrowns, and less pigmentation. It’s especially ideal for patients prone to discoloration or irritation from shaving and waxing.
Long-Term Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is not just about convenience—it’s about freedom and confidence.
Here’s what our patients love:
Permanent hair reduction after a full series
Smoother skin with less irritation
Reduction in dark spots and ingrowns

With our advanced laser technology, treatments are fast, safe, and tailored to all skin types. Whether you’re prepping for summer or just ready to ditch the razor and wax strips, laser is the modern solution for long-term results.
Choose Smarter, Save More
At Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics in Tampa, we believe in investing in your skin for real results. While waxing might seem cheaper upfront, laser hair removal gives you lasting results, better skin health, and actual savings over time.
