Sessions are scheduled every six to eight weeks to target actively growing hair follicles across multiple cycles. Performed by licensed laser technicians at the Lincoln Park clinic.

SpaDerma Lincoln Park offers laser hair removal using the Sciton Omni laser — a versatile multi-wavelength platform that can be configured for safe and effective hair reduction across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Laser hair removal works by delivering selective photothermolysis: laser energy at wavelengths preferentially absorbed by melanin (the pigment in hair follicles) heats the follicle to a temperature that impairs its ability to regrow hair, while the surrounding lighter-pigmented skin absorbs significantly less energy and is therefore protected. The Sciton Omni's capacity to adjust wavelength and parameters makes it suitable for a broad range of hair colours, skin tones, and treatment areas — including hair types and complexions that older single-wavelength systems struggled to treat safely. The treatment menu covers all common areas: face (upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns), underarms, arms, bikini and extended bikini (Brazilian), legs (lower, upper, full), back, chest, and full body. Pricing is tiered by zone size, starting from $75 for XS areas such as the upper lip and rising to $750 for full-body sessions. Sessions are spaced every six to eight weeks because laser hair removal is only effective during the actively growing (anagen) phase of the follicle cycle — treating across multiple cycles captures the majority of follicles over a full course. Most patients require six to eight sessions for approximately 80–90% permanent hair reduction in treated areas. The session duration varies by area, from five minutes for small facial zones to sixty or more minutes for full-body treatments. Mild redness and follicular swelling (perifollicular oedema) resolve within a few hours post-treatment. No special downtime is required, and treated areas can resume normal activity immediately.
