Laser hair removal in Downers Grove
We treat every skin tone on the Candela GentleMax Pro, which is two lasers in one: 755 nm alexandrite for lighter skin, and 1064 nm Nd:YAG for darker skin, since it reaches deeper and leaves the melanin at the surface alone. So darker skin, Fitzpatrick types V and VI included, is not treated at low settings here: on the Nd:YAG we can take it higher than most clinics do. A special cooling system blows cold air on the skin through the session, on every skin tone.
Most clients need 6 to 12 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart, because the laser only reaches hair in its growth phase. A session for a small area is 30 minutes, a full body 60 to 90. How it works, what it feels like and how to prepare are on our laser hair removal page.
The consultation is free and confirms the price for your areas. Every area, bundle and member price is on our price list, and laser hair removal cost in Chicago sets a session against a package. A Beauty Bank membership turns a monthly fee into a balance that rolls over and buys at member prices.

Darker skin, ingrown hairs and facial hair
Will the laser burn darker skin?
A burn on darker skin comes from a laser made for lighter skin, whose light the melanin in the skin takes up along with the hair's. That is why darker skin is treated here on the Nd:YAG, whose light passes the skin's melanin and reaches the root, with cold air on the skin through the session. Normal afterwards is redness for 4 to 6 hours. Your part is two weeks without sun, tanning beds or self-tanner before each session, since a tan puts more melanin in the laser's way. More on laser hair removal for dark skin.
Does it help with ingrown hairs?
Yes. Ingrown hairs come from dense, coarse hair cut by a razor or pulled by wax, curling back into the skin as it grows. From the second session the hair grows back slower and finer, so there is less to shave and less to grow in, and the bumps on the bikini line, underarms, neck and legs settle with it. Between sessions, shave rather than wax or pluck, since the laser needs the root in place.
Does it work on facial hair?
Yes, including hormonal hair on the chin, jaw, upper lip and neck, as with PCOS. The laser treats it like any other dark hair, but hormones keep starting new hairs, so expect the full course of sessions and a top-up now and then after it. The chin, upper lip or any other small area takes 30 minutes, at $35 a session or $199 for six.

I had 3 Morpheus8 treatments here and saw a huge improvement in my acne scars. The service is excellent, the staff is caring, and the pricing is great. Laser hair removal with the Candela GentleMax Pro was also amazing.
Have been coming to muse for the past 3 months for laser treatment and have had a great results so far. Larisa is very knowledgeable and great at making her clients feel comfortable.
They did an amazing job on my legs. I had 6 sessions of laser done on legs and I barely shave now.
