When it comes to laser hair removal in NYC, not all machines—or providers—are created equal. At Spa Jolie, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro, the gold standard combining Alexandrite (755 nm) for light skin and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) for darker tones. This dual-wavelength system delivers permanent reduction in 6–8 sessions, outperforming IPL, diode, or at-home devices.
