Hook: Smooth, makeup-ready skin with less daily upkeep-right here in Chicago.
Unwanted facial hair can be stubborn. Laser hair removal for the face and chin offers precise, long-lasting reduction with minimal downtime.
At Pure Medical Spa (Chicago)-with convenient locations in River North on N. Dearborn, Old Orchard/Skokie, Oakbrook, and Roscoe Village-we tailor treatments to your hair and skin type for safer, more predictable outcomes.
Chicago’s seasons matter. Dry winters can heighten post-treatment sensitivity; bright summers call for diligent SPF. With the right plan and aftercare, you can maintain clear, smooth skin year-round.
Benefits & What to Expect
- Targets the hair follicle while protecting surrounding skin
- Suitable for small areas (upper lip, chin, jawline) and beard shaping
- Consistent reduction across sessions; most patients need multiple visits because hair is most sensitive in the anagen (growth) phase.
- Typical session time: ~10-20 minutes for face/chin
- Common, short-lived effects: redness, mild swelling, warmth
Your aesthetic goals guide laser hair removal treatments. We choose the right treatment area-face, chin, or bikini line-and settings to remove hairs safely and effectively. For small or large areas, care is tailored to your skin conditions and medical conditions.
Here’s how hair removal works: a precise beam of light targets pigment in the follicle to reduce hair growth across targeted areas of the body. Each hair removal session is quick, with cooling to minimize skin irritation while preserving the benefits of laser-speed, precision, and consistency.
How It Works: 4 Simple Steps
- Consult & test spot: Review skin/hair type, medications, sun exposure.
- Prep: Shave the area 24 hours prior; arrive with clean, product-free skin.
- Treatment: Pulses of light target pigment in the hair shaft to disrupt growth.
- Cool & protect: Apply soothing gel; use SPF daily and avoid heat/exertion for 24-48 hours.

If you also want the bikini area or another larger area, we can pair sessions to remove unwanted hair efficiently and cohesively.
Here’s how laser hair removal works: advanced lasers target pigment in the follicle over multiple laser hair removal sessions, reducing growth for long term results and smooth hair free skin. Body laser hair removal uses the same approach for larger zones while protecting surrounding skin. Benefits of laser hair include precision and fewer ingrowns.

Candid Pros & Cons
Pros: Precision on small facial areas; fewer ingrowns and bumps; time savings long term; customizable settings for diverse skin tones (including Fitzpatrick IV-VI with long-pulsed Nd:YAG).
Cons: Multiple sessions required; temporary redness/swelling; rare pigment changes if aftercare isn’t followed.
Who’s a Good Candidate in Chicago?
Most healthy adults with unwanted facial hair. Newer systems allow safe treatment for many skin and hair types, including darker tones using Nd:YAG settings when appropriate.
Avoid treatment if pregnant, photosensitive, or recently tanned. Discuss acne meds, antibiotics, or active dermatitis before scheduling.
Cost & Timeline (Chicago)
For face & chin, expect about $150-$350 per session for small areas; package pricing lowers the per-session cost. Most clients need 4-6 sessions spaced ~4-6 weeks apart, plus occasional maintenance as needed.
Final quotes depend on area size, hair density, laser type, and provider expertise. You’ll get a transparent estimate at your consultation.
Results & Aftercare
You’ll see reduction build over time; facial hairs grow faster, so consistency matters. Meta-analyses show meaningful long-term reduction across diode, alexandrite, and Nd:YAG lasers; facial areas often need more diligence than legs due to shorter growth cycles.
Aftercare essentials: cool compresses if needed; fragrance-free moisturizer; broad-spectrum SPF 30+, especially during Chicago’s high-UV summer months.
