Diode and Nd:YAG platforms calibrated for all six Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones where most clinics either burn you or refuse to treat you. Package pricing, no commission selling.
Most clinics use a single laser platform and a single set of settings. That works fine if you have light skin and dark hair. If you have darker skin, the wrong laser can burn you, scar you, or cause hyperpigmentation — and many clinics refuse to treat melanin-rich skin at all rather than invest in the right equipment.
We use two laser platforms. Diode (810nm) for lighter skin types, where it's faster and more efficient. Nd:YAG (1064nm) for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), where the longer wavelength bypasses melanin in the skin and targets the follicle without surface damage. The right platform for your skin, every session.
Results require a series. Hair grows in cycles, and only follicles in the active growth phase respond to laser. That's why six to eight sessions is the standard — over time, all of your follicles cycle through and get treated. Anyone promising permanent results in one or two sessions is selling, not treating.
Five steps. Most of your time is in the chair; the laser itself is fast.
First visit includes a Fitzpatrick skin-type assessment to select the right laser and calibrate settings. We test-spot before treating.
Treatment area should be shaved 12–24 hours before. Hair above the skin absorbs energy that should be reaching the follicle.
Built-in skin cooling makes the laser surprisingly tolerable. Most patients describe sensation as a warm snap. We work in passes across the area.
Aloe and SPF. No direct sun exposure for 48 hours. No hot showers, saunas, or exercise for 24 hours. Normal activity otherwise resumes immediately.
Laser hair removal requires a series. Per-session pricing exists to extract more money from patients before they finish — we don't do it. Packages cover the full course.
Hair color matters more than people realize.
"I have very dark skin and got turned away from three places before this. Bronx Med Spa actually has the right laser for my skin type, and the technician explained why. Six sessions in, no burns, no hyperpigmentation, no more shaving."
Common questions, especially around safety for darker skin and realistic timelines.
Four short questions. We'll match you to the right laser platform and provide a package quote at your consultation.
