How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Barr Aesthetics’ laser hair removal sessions use safe and effective laser energy to penetrate deep down into your skin, affecting the natural growth cycle of the follicles. It may take a couple of weeks for results to appear, but as those targeted hairs eventually shed away on their own you will see that new emerging hair is much finer, thinner, and lighter than before!

As treatments continually progress, the regrowth of hair decreases until it stops occurring altogether. Laser hair removal can significantly inhibit growth in many areas of your body. To name a few:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Underarms
  • Stomach
  • Neck

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

It is common to experience a bit of tenderness, particularly in delicate zones such as the armpits; yet there should not be any pain. Many individuals have explained that laser hair removal feels like small rubber bands snapping against their skin. To ensure maximum comfort during your Barr Aesthetic appointment, it would be wise to employ either topical numbing cream or an ice pack before arriving- both readily available at local pharmacies. This way, your skin will already have been sufficiently numbed by treatment time!
