Tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with unwanted hair? Laser hair removal offers a convenient, long-lasting solution for smoother skin with less maintenance.
At Barris Laser & Skincare, we use laser technology to target hair follicles and reduce future hair growth. Whether you’re treating your underarms, bikini area, legs, face, or back, our experienced team will help create a personalized treatment plan for your skin and hair type.
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target pigment in the hair follicle. The heat damages the follicle, reducing its ability to grow new hair.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to target follicles at different stages of growth. Over time, you’ll notice less hair growth and smoother skin.
Laser hair removal generally works best on darker hair, which absorbs the laser energy more effectively. Blonde, red, white, and gray hair typically don’t respond as well.
At Barris, our current laser equipment is suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and hair type to determine whether laser hair removal is right for you.
For lighter-colored hair or skin types that aren’t suitable for our laser, electrolysis may be another option.
Laser hair removal can treat many areas of the face and body, including:
- Upper lip and chin
- Underarms
- Bikini and Brazilian areas
- Legs and arms
- Chest, back, and shoulders
- Neck and abdomen
Whether you’re treating a small area or something larger, we’ll help determine the best approach for your needs.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but treatments are generally well tolerated.
Appointments typically take about 15–35 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Larger areas may require more time.
Most clients need a series of approximately 6–8 treatments for optimal hair reduction, although results vary depending on hair color, thickness, treatment area, and individual hair growth cycles.
Treatments are spaced several weeks apart to target hair during different stages of growth. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
For the best results, avoid tanning and discontinue waxing, plucking, or other methods that remove hair from the root for at least four weeks before your appointment.
Shave the treatment area before your visit, following your provider’s instructions. Be sure to let us know about any medications, recent sun exposure, or changes in your skin.
We’ll provide specific preparation instructions when you schedule your treatment.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, but it doesn’t guarantee that every hair will be permanently removed.
Many clients experience significantly less hair growth after completing their treatment series. Any hair that returns may be finer and lighter, and occasional maintenance treatments may be helpful.
It’s normal to experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually improve within a few days.
Treated hairs will gradually shed over the following days and weeks. Avoid tanning and protect the area from direct sun exposure while your skin recovers.
Less common risks include burns, blistering, and pigment changes. We’ll provide aftercare instructions and discuss what to expect before treatment.
