Laser Hair Removal
Laser Technology is a Safe & Effective Option for Permanent Hair Removal
Several factors influence the growth and appearance of body hair, including age, ethnicity, medications, and hormone levels. Laser technology provides a permanent and safe solution for reducing or eliminating unwanted hair.
At Essentially Bare, we use FDA-approved lasers for permanent hair reduction. We have three different laser technologies to tailor treatments: Nd:YAG, Diode, and Alexandrite. With over 20 years of experience and thousands of successful treatments, our commitment to excellence is reflected in our results.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
Yes, laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure when performed by trained professionals. Here’s why:
- Precision: The laser targets the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike other hair removal methods, laser treatments involve minimal discomfort and no downtime.
- FDA Approved: Our equipment has been thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy.
- Qualified Professionals: Our team is trained to assess your skin and hair type, ensuring optimal and safe treatment settings.
The Right Equipment Matters – We Trust Lumenis™
At Essentially Bare, we rely on Lumenis™, a world leader in laser aesthetics, known for delivering safe, high-quality results. Our suite includes:
- Lumenis™ Lightsheer Diode
- Lumenis™ DESIRE with vacuum-assisted HIT™ technology for faster, more comfortable treatments.
We don’t use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for hair removal, as it is less effective for permanent reduction of unwanted hair. Instead, our advanced lasers can safely and effectively treat all skin tones, even eliminating conditions like folliculitis barbae (ingrown hairs).
We offer fair pricing - no guesswork, no gimmicks!
We don’t believe in “unlimited” treatment packages or deeply discounted bundles, as no one can accurately predict the number of sessions you’ll need. On average, our patients achieve noticeable results in about three sessions, and we offer discounts based on individual progress. Our goal is to treat you effectively and get you the results you deserve without unnecessary treatments.
