Say goodbye to shaving, tweezing, or waxing with Sciton’s Forever Bare BBL! Forever Bare BBL is a fast, comfortable, and efficacious treatment to reduce unwanted hair in most skin types. Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any part of the body, including the face, arms, legs, and bikini area. Read here about what to expect with laser hair removal and how it can benefit you.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
Forever Bare BBL emits light energy that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, which converts it into heat. The heat generated by the laser damages the hair follicle, preventing further hair growth while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.
Forever Bare works for most skin tones and hair textures and eliminates 80 to 90% of hair in the treated area within 5-7 treatments—depending on factors like hair texture, the treatment area, and skin tone. If hair grows back, it’s typically finer and less noticeable than before.
Treatment intervals are typically 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated. Once or twice yearly maintenance treatments eliminate hair regrowth in the treated areas.
WHAT DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL FEEL LIKE?
Forever Bare BBL is known as one of the most comfortable laser hair removal treatments. During the procedure, the hand piece produces a warming, “prickly” sensation that most patients report as being quite comfortable, even without using a numbing agent. The warmth subsides about an hour after treatment.
