What to expect

During laser hair removal, a laser light is applied to the area to be treated. The light waves are absorbed by the hair and converted into heat that damages the hair follicle. This damage causes the hair to fall out and prevents the follicle from producing new hair.

Our Rockwall location offers Laser Hair Removal by BareHR. The versatile and customizable Bare HR laser hair removal system allows your practitioner to remove hair for anyone of any skin tone or type.

Our mission at Bare Dermatology is dedicated to providing the best quality clinical care while providing outstanding patient experience. For treatment in more sensitive areas, a numbing agent may be applied 30 minutes before the treatment to help reduce any discomfort during the treatment. A cooling gel is applied to protect the outer skin and minimize side effects.

During the laser process, pulses of light will be given in the treatment area, and you can expect to feel a warm pinprick or light rubber band snapping against the skin. The laser process varies from a few minutes to an hour depending on the treatment area.

Your aesthetic provider will outline a recommended treatment course to ensure you achieve the desired result. 6-8 sessions are generally required for the best results. Although laser hair removal is considered a permanent form of hair removal, maintenance sessions may be required. It may sound like a lot of sessions, but it’s important to keep in mind that hair grows in phases. Each treatment session is only removing hair in the new-growth stage. Each session of treatment destroys the hair follicle for hairs that have entered the new-growth phase. In most cases, that means your provider will recommend three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
