Clear Unwanted Hair Without Razors, Waxing or Plucking in Denver
The problem with shaving and other hair removal strategies that cut or pull out unwanted hair is repetition. Keeping skin smooth and bare requires frequent — even daily — maintenance, and the cost of doing so can add up over one’s lifetime. Laser hair removal at the Denver area’s AboutSkin Dermatology solves this problem by targeting the follicles that produce the hairs instead of the hairs themselves. This leads to long-lasting results.
What Is Laser Hair Removal With BAREit™?
Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal with BAREit falls under the category of noninvasive cosmetic treatments. It’s designed to be safe and effective for various skin types and hair colors. While the procedure is primarily used to remove hair, it also offers the added benefit of improving the texture of the treated skin, leaving it smoother and softer.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal involves a specialized device delivering focused energy through concentrated light beams into the target area. This energy selectively targets pigmented cells (melanin), which are most concentrated in the hair follicle. The energy generated is significant enough to heat and damage the follicle, disrupting the natural hair-growing process.
The procedure is precise, targeting only the hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. This minimizes the risk of damage to your skin, making it a safer option for hair removal. The BAREit system is also designed to be comfortable, with a cooling mechanism that soothes the skin during treatment, reducing any discomfort.

Your Laser Hair Removal Consultation
Your journey to smooth, hair-free skin begins with a consultation at AboutSkin Dermatology and Aesthetics. During this initial appointment, Dr. Cohen or one of our other Board-Certified Dermatologists will evaluate your skin type, hair color and the areas you wish to treat. They’ll also discuss your medical history and any medications you’re taking to ensure that laser hair removal is a safe option for you.
Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs and goals. This plan will include the recommended number of sessions and any pre-treatment instructions you need to follow.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment Details
The duration of a laser hair removal session is typically 15 to 60 minutes but will depend on the size and number of treatment areas, as well as other variables. Before the treatment begins, the target area will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied to help protect your skin. The BAREit device will be passed over the treatment area, emitting laser pulses that target the hair follicles.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
The sensation of the laser hair removal device working has been likened to a rubber band snapping against the skin: sharp, but brief and easily tolerated. The cooling mechanism of the BAREit device should minimize any discomfort. Patients with concerns about the sensations they will experience can discuss further comfort options prior to the session start.
After the procedure, a soothing cream may be applied to the treated area to help reduce any redness or swelling. You’ll also receive post-treatment care instructions to follow at home.
BAREit™ Laser Hair Removal Recovery and Downtime
A significant advantage of laser hair removal with BAREit is the minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Your treated skin will likely appear red, similar to a sunburn, for a few hours to a day. Applying wrapped ice packs or water-cooled towels can help ease any discomfort while the skin heals. It is important to keep the treated skin away from sun exposure (UV radiation) during this time, either by staying out of sunlight or wearing clothing that covers the region.
Laser hair removal only works on follicles that are actively growing hair at the time of the treatment, so it may take six to eight or more sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to sufficiently clear an area of unwanted hair. After completing the full course of treatments, you can expect a significant reduction in hair growth, with some areas achieving complete hair removal.
Patients who achieve their desired outcome with laser hair removal will find they can maintain their results with “touch-up” treatments spread six to 12 months apart.
Expected Results From Laser Hair Removal With BAREit™
Once damaged during treatment, a follicle goes essentially dormant. The hair it contains eventually falls out, and a new hair is slow to develop. Future hairs will likely be finer and lighter in color than previous hair growth.
However, the results of laser hair removal with BAREit are gradual and cumulative with each session. You may notice a reduction in hair growth after your first session, but it usually takes multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the BAREit laser can only target hair follicles that are in the active growth phase during treatment. As you continue with your treatments, the results will become more noticeable, with less hair regrowth between sessions.
What Else Can Lasers Do?
Other cosmetic dermatology options at AboutSkin Dermatology that involve lasers and lights include laser skin resurfacing, intense pulsed light (IPL) for reducing redness and pigmentation problems and fractional lasers to treat a range of conditions, including intrinsic aging, sun damage and scars.
Many treatment options can be combined with care to generate results that are not possible with a single device or product. Talk to one of our Board-Certified Dermatologists to discover the treatments available and learn how they could benefit your specific situation.
