At CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery, we offer BARE HR™ laser hair reduction treatments to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin on any area of the body.
Our experienced team provides safe, effective laser hair removal using advanced Sciton® technology to remove unwanted hair and keep it away.
How Our Laser Hair Removal Works
Our BARE HR™ laser hair removal system uses concentrated beams of light to target and disable hair follicles. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, converted to heat, and damages the follicles to prevent future hair growth.
We use three laser wavelengths simultaneously to effectively treat all skin types year-round, anywhere on the body. The unique design of the BARE HR™ handpieces cools and soothes as it works, making treatments comfortable.
During your consultation, we assess your skin and determine the optimal settings and treatment plan. Over a series of treatments, laser energy is delivered precisely to the hair follicles. Hairs shed gradually over time, leaving smooth skin behind. Although not permanent, results can last for years with minimal upkeep.
The Laser Hair Removal Treatment Process
Our laser hair removal treatments follow a simple process completed right in our office:
1. Preparation of the Treatment Area
We begin by thoroughly cleaning the treatment area to remove any dirt, oils, or lotions, ensuring optimal laser effectiveness. Patients must shave treatment areas prior to treatment.
2. Eye Protection
Laser safety eyewear is provided to protect both you and our technician from the intense light emitted during treatment. This step is crucial for preventing potential eye damage.
3. Application of Laser
The handpiece is placed directly on your skin, delivering pulses of light to each targeted area. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, and our technician will monitor your comfort throughout the process
4. Customization Based on Skin Tone
We customize the laser settings based on your skin tone and hair type to ensure safe and effective treatment. This personalized approach optimizes results while minimizing risks.
5. Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and tanning beds to prevent irritation or pigmentation issues. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to help maintain your skin’s health.
Treatments are quick, taking just minutes for small areas and up to an hour for larger ones. Our technicians work efficiently to ensure thorough coverage without compromising quality.
There is typically no significant recovery downtime required after each session. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, although mild redness may occur temporarily.
Feeling like a faded version of yourself? It’s time to reclaim your youthful glow and rediscover the confident person within.
Benefits of Our Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal services offer many advantages over temporary hair removal methods:
- Long-Lasting Results: While not permanent, laser hair removal provides lasting smoothness that can persist for years with periodic maintenance treatments. No more daily shaving or weekly waxing sessions.
- Treats All Skin Types: With our advanced BARE HR™ system, we can effectively treat patients with any skin tone. The three laser wavelengths are optimized for all skin colors.
- Works on Any Part of the Body: We can treat small or large areas, from the upper lip to full legs and back. Laser hair removal works anywhere you want silky, stubble-free skin.
- Minimal Discomfort: Our cooling handpieces make treatments comfortable. There is no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
To get the best results, be sure to:
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and artificial tanning products for at least 4 weeks before treatment. Recent UV exposure increases sensitivity.
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior to your appointment. Do not wax, epilate, or bleach hairs. They must remain in the follicle for the laser to disable.
- Arrive with clean, dry skin free of deodorants, lotions, makeup, and perfumes. These can interfere with treatment.
- Inform us of any changes in your medical history, skin condition, medications, or supplements since your consultation.

Is Laser Hair Removal Right For You?
The best candidates for laser hair removal have:
- Light skin with dark coarse hairs. The laser targets pigment, so high contrast between hair and skin color is best.
- No active sunburn, tan, or overly tanned skin. Recent UV exposure can increase risk of side effects.
- No current use of photosensitizing medications like Accutane.
- No history of keloid scarring. Sciton’s laser has low risk, but keloids are still possible.
- Realistic expectations. Laser hair removal reduces hair, but periodic maintenance is needed.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific suitability. In some cases, skin type or medication use requires adjusting settings for safe, effective treatment.
