Shaving and waxing your legs over and over again isn’t just frustrating — it’s also time-consuming and can lead to skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and uneven results. At IconMD Medical Spa & Laser Center in Boston and Waltham, MA, leg laser hair removal is a robust, longer-lasting option performed by skilled professional Gaia Bagordo, MSN, RN-C. Our advanced Candela GentleMax Pro™ system safely targets unwanted hair, delivering smoother skin with fewer maintenance demands.
What Is Leg Laser Hair Removal?
Leg laser hair removal uses concentrated laser energy to heat and destroy hair follicles at the root. It works by targeting melanin (pigment) in the hair, disabling future growth while preserving surrounding tissue. Most patients treat either the whole leg (thigh to ankle) or focus on specific zones like the lower or upper legs.

FAQs About Leg Laser Hair Removal
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal on my legs?
Most adults with unwanted leg hair are great candidates. Ideal results are seen in individuals with light skin and dark hair, though advanced devices like the GentleMax Pro™ allow for broader skin tone compatibility.
Who shouldn’t get laser leg hair removal?
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain skin conditions, treatment may be deferred. A personalized consultation will determine your suitability.
What happens during a leg laser hair removal session?
After prepping and cleansing your skin, Gaia Bagordo uses the handheld GentleMax Pro™ device to deliver pulses of light across each treatment area. A session for full legs usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.
What is the downtime and recovery like?
You may experience slight redness or sensitivity, which typically resolves within a few hours. Avoid sun exposure, heat, and skin irritants for 24–48 hours.
How much does leg laser hair removal cost in Boston or Waltham?
Costs depend on the size of the area treated, hair density, and total sessions required. A quote will be provided at your consultation. Financing options and membership discounts are available.
How many sessions are needed for full leg hair removal?
Most patients require 6–12 sessions for optimal reduction, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hair in the active-growth phase.
