Laser Hair Removal FAQ
1. What exactly is laser hair removal and how does it work?
Laser hair removal is a medical-grade treatment that delivers long-term reduction of unwanted hair by directing focused light energy into the hair follicle.
At Enigma Medi Spa & Laser Center in Philadelphia, we use Candela GentleMax Pro and GentleMax Pro Plus — dual-wavelength lasers (755 nm Alexandrite + 1064 nm Nd:YAG) — for safe, precise, and effective results on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI). We also utilize the Cynosure Icon IPL system for complementary skin rejuvenation and pigment correction.
Combined with our Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling technology, treatments are fast, comfortable, and clinically proven to produce smooth, lasting results.
2. Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal in Philadelphia?
Yes — most people seeking smoother, hair-free skin are excellent candidates. Whether you live near Rittenhouse Square or Northeast Philadelphia, our specialists design a personalized plan based on your skin tone, hair color, and growth pattern.
Laser hair removal works best on darker hair, but our multi-platform approach (Alexandrite, Nd:YAG, and IPL) allows us to safely treat all complexions and ethnicities. For very light (blonde, red, or gray) hair, we may recommend electrolysis or IPL as an alternative.
3. Which areas of the body can be treated?
We perform laser hair removal for men and women throughout Philadelphia, targeting virtually any area:
- Face: upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns, neck
- Body: underarms, arms, chest, abdomen, back, shoulders
- Legs: thighs, calves, knees, toes
- Bikini area: bikini line, extended, or full Brazilian
- Specialty zones: beard shaping, stomach line, ears, or hands
Our advanced GentleMax Pro lasers ensure precise, even results — even in sensitive areas.
4. How many treatments will I need and how far apart are they scheduled?
Because hair grows in three phases (anagen, catagen, telogen), several sessions are required to target follicles in their active phase.
Most clients begin noticing visible hair reduction after 3–5 sessions, with optimal results typically achieved in 6–12 treatments. Treatment sessions are spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on your hair type, skin tone, and the natural growth cycle of the treated area. Some clients may require additional sessions due to hormonal factors or underlying health conditions that can influence hair growth.
Your technician will personalize your schedule to ensure safe, effective, and lasting results.
5. Is there any downtime or recovery period?
Laser hair removal is a zero-downtime treatment — you can return to work or errands anywhere in Philadelphia immediately. Mild redness or warmth may appear briefly, similar to a light sunburn, but it subsides within hours.
Our Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling system keeps your skin comfortable and protected during every session.
6. What kind of results can I expect?
Clients typically notice smoother, clearer skin and up to 90% visible hair reduction after completing their treatment series. Any regrowth is lighter, softer, and slower.
With periodic maintenance, you’ll enjoy long-lasting results and freedom from daily shaving or waxing — ideal for busy Philadelphia lifestyles.
7. Are there areas or hair types that are more challenging?
Yes — coarse, dark hair responds best. Light or fine hair contains less pigment and may require additional sessions or alternate methods.
Because Philadelphia’s diverse population includes every skin tone, our Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers allow safe, customized treatment for light, olive, and dark complexions.
8. How should I prepare for a treatment?
Follow these steps for best results:
- Avoid sun exposure or tanning (natural or spray) for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after.
- Shave the night before or same day off your appointment (do not wax or pluck).
- Skip bleaching — the laser targets pigment.
- Pause retinoids, exfoliants, and acids 3–5 days beforehand.
- Inform your technician about any photosensitizing medications (antibiotics, isotretinoin, etc.).
Proper preparation enhances safety and results.
9. What should I expect after the treatment?
- Hair will shed gradually within 1–3 weeks.
- Avoid heat (gym, sauna, steam) for 24–48 hours.
- Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily on treated areas.
- Shave only between sessions (do not wax or pluck).
- Mild redness or bumps fade within a day.
These guidelines promote quick recovery and consistent results.
10. Is laser hair removal safe and does it hurt?
Yes. When performed by our Candela-certified technicians, laser hair removal is FDA-cleared, gentle, and safe. Most patients describe the sensation as a light “snap.” Our dynamic cooling and air-chill systems maintain comfort throughout your session.
