Fast and Easy Hair Reduction in Fairview Heights, IL
No one wants to spend hours per month shaving or waxing unwanted hair. But that’s exactly what many people do. If you are tired of daily hair removal, we have a different option. Laser hair removal with the BARE HR™ laser from Sciton® gives you the option of ending the daily battle with hair. It is a great treatment for all skin types, and can be used anywhere that you would like smooth and hair-free skin.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a way to remove hair using laser technology rather than manual techniques. A laser device is placed over the target area where the technology targets the hair follicles. The result is longer-lasting hair removal compared to temporary methods such as shaving, waxing or creams.
Using Bare HR™ for Laser Hair Removal
The BARE HR laser offers one of the fastest and most comfortable approaches to hair removal, thanks to its combination of large spot sizes, high-speed pulses and built-in cooling technology. It uses a trio of wavelengths, 810 nm, 940 nm and 1060 nm, to target hair follicles at different depths and to treat a broad range of skin tones and hair types. Treatments are quick, often taking just a few minutes for smaller areas, and patients typically experience little to no discomfort. BARE HR can be used year-round, even on tanned skin, and offers more flexibility when it comes to scheduling your sessions.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
01 / Fast Treatments, Even for Larger Areas
With devices like the BARE HR, areas like the legs or back can be treated in just minutes. The speed makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule.
02 / Precision That Targets Hair, Not Skin
Laser energy is drawn to hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.
03 / Works on a Wide Range of Skin Tones
Modern laser systems like BARE HR use multiple wavelengths to treat diverse skin types. Whether your skin is lighter or darker, there is likely a setting that is suitable for you.
The Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal tends to work best for patients with darker hair and lighter skin, but newer technologies like the BARE HR expand options for a wider range of skin tones and hair types. It’s a good fit for those who experience frequent ingrown hairs, razor burn or skin irritation from shaving and waxing. Patients who want a long-term reduction in hair growth in areas like the face, underarms, bikini line, legs or back often benefit from this treatment.
What Should I Expect From My Hair Removal Consultation?
During your consultation, we’ll examine the areas you’d like to treat and evaluate your skin tone, hair color and hair thickness to determine if laser hair removal is a good match for you. We’ll also ask about your medical history, current skincare products and sun exposure habits. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, review how the treatment works and discuss how many sessions may be needed. If everything looks good, we’ll help you schedule your first appointment and go over any preparation steps beforehand.
Understanding the Laser Hair Removal Experience
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works because the light energy targets the pigment of the hair inside the follicles. The light converts to heat, which damages the follicle and slows or stops future hair growth. With repeated treatments, the follicles become less active, leading to a gradual and noticeable reduction in hair.
During the treatment, we apply a cooling gel, and the built-in cooling system on the BARE HR device helps protect your skin and keep you comfortable. The handpiece is moved across the skin as it delivers quick, precise pulses of light to the targeted areas. It can feel like a quick snap or warmth on the skin. Depending on the area, a session can last anywhere from a few minutes to about half an hour, with no downtime afterward.
What Results Can You Expect From Laser Hair Removal?
Results appear gradually over several sessions as treated hair sheds and follicles become less active. Most patients notice a visible reduction in hair growth after just a few treatments, with smoother skin and fewer ingrown hairs. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are needed.
Recovery After Hair Removal
There’s little to no downtime after laser hair removal, so you can return to most normal activities right away. You may notice some redness or tenderness in the treated area for several hours after the treatment. Because your skin will be a little more sensitive, it’s best to avoid hot showers, intense workouts, or sun exposure for a day or two to allow your skin to recover. We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions to help keep your skin calm and protected between sessions.

FAQs About Hair Removal
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
We price laser hair removal per treatment and by the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas like the chin, upper lip, or sideburns are priced differently from medium areas such as the full face, underarms, bikini, or forearms. Larger areas like the Brazilian bikini, full arms, legs, or back are at a higher rate due to the treatment time involved. Each session is priced individually.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients need a series of six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart to get the best results. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments help target each follicle when it’s in the active growth phase.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser hair removal can give you long-term reduction, but it’s not guaranteed to remove every hair forever. Some fine or light hairs may return over time, and occasional maintenance sessions can help with any stray hairs.
