Start Laser Hair Removal Now and be Ready for Swim Suit Season

Laser hair removal does more than give you smooth, hair-free skin. It also gives you the ability to be spontaneous, without worrying about regrowth and razor burn. At Medical Aesthetics & Laser, we offer the latest technology, which includes Bare HR®, our laser hair removal platform.  

Located in The Woodlands, Texas, our office is a warm and welcoming environment where you’re encouraged to ask questions and explore all that modern medical aesthetics has to offer. 

Here’s why you should consider laser hair removal this spring. 

Timing is important with laser hair removal

Let’s begin with a discussion about how laser hair removal works. Millions of hair follicles cover your body. Each acts like a channel from the surface of your skin to the base of the follicle, where special cells form a “root” that creates new hair cells. 

As those cells form, they stack atop one another to create strands of hair, eventually emerging from the surface of your skin. This process occurs in four main phases, including growth, transition, resting, and shedding. 

Laser hair removal is most effective when performed during the active growth phase of your hair. Because not all of your hair is in the active growth phase at the same time, it takes multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. 

If you start in the spring, you have time to complete a couple of treatment sessions before summer.

How laser hair removal works

Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated light into the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which converts to heat and damages the follicle, reducing its ability to grow new hair. The treated hair will gradually shed over the following days.

The Bare HR platform uses advanced technology to keep the skin’s surface comfortable during treatment. Most people describe the sensation as similar to a quick rubber band snap.

 To protect the skin and ensure safe treatment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure before and immediately after your session, as tanned skin can increase the risk of irritation.

Today’s laser hair removal is far more comfortable than in years past

If you had laser hair removal years ago, you might be surprised at how much more comfortable and effective today’s platforms are. Most people find their sessions to be easily tolerable. Some say it feels like the sensation of a rubber band snap against the skin. 

Keep in mind that you only feel sensations in the follicles that still have hair, meaning subsequent sessions should be more comfortable than your first visit. Bare HR also enables quick treatments; you can return to the rest of your day within an hour in most cases. 

As we enter the spring season, now’s a perfect time to give laser hair removal a try. You’ll be swimsuit-ready by the time summer is in full swing, and feeling great about your decision.
