Laser Treatment Hair Removal

Hair can be beautiful, interesting, fun, elegant, and unique, but only when it can be controlled. For unwanted hair in hard-to-maintain areas, hair stops being a positive aspect of one’s outward identity and becomes an unsightly aspect of appearance.

Laser Hair Removal from Barr Aesthetics

Depending on the color, thickness, and speed of regrowth, body hair can quickly become a nuisance. In the past, there was little that could be done to find a permanent hair removal solution; shaving, tweezing, and waxing were the only options.

Fortunately, technology provides a long-lasting hair removal option. Advances in laser hair removal continue to offer safer, faster, and more cost-effective methods of hair removal than ever before. Not only can we remove unwanted hair, but our laser treatments also work on almost every surface of your body, leaving the skin feeling smooth

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal from Barr is one of many non-surgical procedures we offer. As a noninvasive treatment option for hair removal, it’s ideal for removing hair on

  • Face
  • Underarms
  • Bikini area
  • Back
  • Legs
  • Arms

Am I A Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

While laser hair removal is safe for nearly anyone, it is most effective on dark, coarse body hair. It hasn’t been known to be as effective on darker skin or lighter hair. Results are best when hair is currently in its growth, or anagen, stage. This is why we recommend multiple treatments to effectively remove unwanted hair.

Laser hair removal isn’t recommended for people who are pregnant or currently taking acne medication. Also, you may want to explore other hair removal options if you have raised scars with hair growth.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

It may sound strange, but it is recommended that you shave the treatment area 2 – 3 days before you come in for laser hair removal at Barr. This puts hair in its regrowth stage, and at the right length (no longer than a grain of rice) for treatment.

We also recommend protecting your skin from the sun to keep your skin from tanning or burning before your treatment. The number of treatments you need will depend on your skin pigmentation and the texture of your body hair. Typically, the best results are achieved after six short sessions. While the methods are sound, every person is different, with different needs. These are things we’ll discuss at your consultation.

What to Expect at a Laser Hair Removal Appointment

As with everything we do at Barr Aesthetics, our tools and techniques have been developed under the guidance of peer-reviewed medical journals and have been personally vetted by their representatives. All of our equipment has received the highest ratings possible for effectiveness and safety. During a hair removal procedure, our lasers target the hair directly at the root, destroying the follicle completely. And because they can target larger areas of the affected skin, our treatments can be carried out efficiently and quickly.

Our lasers come equipped with a patented cooling device that delivers consistent cooling to the treated area, making the entire procedure far more comfortable than it has been in the past, as well as eliminating the need for a topical anesthetic.

Before administering treatment, we’ll clean the area and give you protective eyewear. It might feel like a rubber band being snapped against your skin during treatment, which could last anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour.

Caring For Your Skin After Laser Hair Removal

After laser hair removal, we don’t recommend plucking or shaving any of the areas that have been treated. Side effects include redness, swelling, or tenderness in treatment areas.

We do recommend icing the treated area after your appointment and avoiding sunlight and tanning beds. After your prescribed number of laser hair treatments, you should be able to enjoy the results for months, if not years before needing touch-ups.

Hair that grows back after laser treatments is usually thinner and lighter than your natural hair color.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

Regardless of how many treatments are required, we offer several different ways to pay for the procedure; each visit can be covered individually or in one of our helpful treatment packages. Additionally, we offer a discounted price for any touch-ups once the initial sessions have finished.

Pricing depends on the size of the area being treated, with small areas such as the upper lip or chin costing less than large areas such as arms and back.

Is Laser Hair Removal Covered by Insurance?

You won’t typically find laser hair removal is covered by insurance, but we’re happy to provide you with the necessary receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider.

Is Laser Hair Removal for Men and Women?

Yes! Laser hair removal from Barr caters to both men and women. It’s ideal for perfecting men’s hairlines, edging beards, and removing unwanted body hair to promote confidence in one’s appearance.

While the majority of clients might be women, laser hair removal is an effective and popular treatment for men as well. The process is the same for everyone who visits Barr.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

After the first treatment, you’ll likely see up to 25% less hair growth. After your final treatment, you can enjoy smooth skin for months at a time.

Clients liken the feeling of laser hair removal to the feeling of having a rubber band snapped against the skin.

The most common treatment areas are:

  • Upper lip
  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Arms
  • Pubic area
  • Legs
  • Feet

Hair might be in different growth stages when you’re treated, so we recommend multiple appointments to target each follicle. It can also take multiple appointments to cover larger areas.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr Barr for my recent rhinoplasty, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From our initial consultation, Dr Barr listened carefully to my concerns and worked with me to develop a plan that would achieve the look I wanted. She used photos to help me visualize the final outcome and ensure we were on the same page. The actual procedure itself was a breeze, thanks to Dr Barr's expertise and attention to detail. I was amazed at the transformation when I saw my nose for the first time at my first post-op appointment. Dr Barr did an outstanding job and exceeded my expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Barr to anyone considering a rhinoplasty or other cosmetic procedure. Her talent, dedication, and compassion make her stand out among her peers, and I am grateful for her exceptional work

I traveled from Los Angeles to Salt Lake to have my blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) performed by Dr. Barr because I knew she was exceptionally qualified as an ENT facial plastic surgeon. I had a wonderful experience. Dr. Barr understood (better than I did) my desired outcomes and provided excellent alternatives to a mini-facelift (which I thought I needed). The blepharoplasty was amazingly pain-free with a local anesthetic, and I had minimal swelling and bruising. Because I work remotely, the only downtime I experienced was the afternoon of the procedure. A week after the operation, it was hard to tell that I had had any work done! Besides the blepharoplasty, my treatment included strategic filler, lightened melasma, and Kybella to shrink jowls. In addition, I started a round of EMface sessions (which I finished in LA) to lift and tone my facial muscles and skin. It's been a month, and the results are stunning. Because it takes the results of Kybella and EMface longer to fully appear, I feel like I am getting younger every day. All of the clinic staff I met were lovely. Elle guided me through the process and ensured that I always had the information and products I needed in her kind and timely manner. She deftly and efficiently provided laser treatment to help minimize bruising. Whitney conducted my EMface therapy, and her calm, confident approach created a relaxed environment during the sometimes bizarre sensations of the procedure. Dr. Barr had my best interest at heart when deciding which and how much of each product to use, and I would encourage anyone considering these types of treatments to get her opinion before having any work done. If I had known I was only a few weeks away from feeling this refreshed, I would have done it long ago!

Dr Lucy Barr did my rhinoplasty in April of this year and I’m over the moon with how amazing it is. Every step of the process was painless and I was given excellent care by her, her husband (Dr Sharma did my functionality surgery at the same time) and her staff. My results exceed my expectations. I’m so pleased! Dr Barr has also reconstructed my earlobes (I used to have them stretched big in the early 2000s) and I’ve also had laser work done on my pigmentation on my face. I see Susan for laser work, Chase for injections and Elle for facials. Every single member of this team is a gem. The office is clean and beautiful and every one is kind and the best in their field. Thank you for helping me to look my best, I genuinely love all of you.

I rarely make online comments/reviews, but I felt this was important. The experience I have had at Barr Aesthetics has been fabulous! Colle has been doing a Med-lite treatment with me, and it has truly made a difference in the overall texture and tone of my skin. Of course, everyone is different, but this has certainly done wonders for me. And, Colle has been such fun to meet with over the past couple of months (and so caring) that I just want to post something. Oh, also, they have a cute little sign in the front office that asks you not bring young kids with you to the waiting room....I so appreciate that! Thank you Dr. Barr, Colle, and the whole office staff for everything that you do! Diane
