This state-of-the-art laser hair removal device is safe for all skin types and effectively treats most areas of the body in under 10 minutes.

What Is Laser Hair Removal With Sciton Bare HR?

Sciton Bare HR, laser hair removal, uses gentle pulses of laser energy to target hair follicles so that they can no longer grow hair.

In the weeks following treatment, the hairs will begin to fall out and, over time, will not be able to grow back. After a series of treatments, patients experience permanent hair reduction in areas such as the face, arms, back, chest, bikini area, and legs.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

To prepare for laser hair removal, take the following precautions to ensure safe, effective treatment:

Avoid waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, and using hair removal creams.
Shave the area(s) to be treated the day before your appointment.
Avoid tanning (including direct and indirect sun exposure, spray tanning, and self-tanning products) for two weeks before treatment.
After treatment, and in the following weeks, apply a physical sunscreen (containing zinc or titanium dioxide) SPF 30+ when outdoors.
Before your appointment, tell your provider about any changes to your health, new or recent illnesses, and your medications, including antibiotics and photosensitizing agents.

How is the Sciton Bare HR Laser Hair Removal Treatment performed?

On the day of your appointment, make sure you’re not wearing any deodorant, creams, lotions, or cosmetics on the treatment area(s).
The Sciton Bare HR device will be run across the target area(s) during the laser hair removal session.
Most patients do not consider laser hair removal uncomfortable with Sciton Bare HR and only experience a light warmth on the skin.
The treatment time can be as quick as five minutes for small areas, and 15-20 minutes for larger and/or multiple areas.
In order to provide optimal results, a series of six treatments is required. More treatments may be needed based on your individual assessment; this will be discussed with your treatment provider at the time of consultation.

Recovery and Results

Immediately after your laser hair removal treatment in NJ, you may experience mild redness and/or tenderness in the treated area(s). These after-effects may last up to 72 hours. If you notice any signs of irritation, let our team know. The most common causes of irritation after laser hair removal are deodorants, fragranced products, and products containing active ingredients (such as vitamin C and retinol). These products should be avoided for the first 72 hours after your treatment. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun for at least two weeks after your treatment. Side effects are rare but can be easily managed by your treatment provider. Results from laser hair removal can be seen in the days and weeks following each treatment as hairs begin to fall out of the treated area. Six treatment sessions are recommended approximately 4-8 weeks apart to achieve optimal results with laser hair removal.

Candidates for Laser Hair Removal

Bare HR may be the perfect procedure for you. The best candidates for laser hair removal are women and men in overall good health who want to decrease or remove unwanted body hair growth. The desired treatment area(s) should have thick, dark hair - red, blonde, and white/gray hair cannot be treated.
