Unwanted Hair

Smooth skin, without the upkeep.

Shaving, waxing, and plucking never really end. Laser hair removal targets the follicle itself, reducing unwanted hair for good and freeing you from the endless routine. Comfortable, effective, and made for a wide range of skin tones.

If you are tired of the constant cycle of shaving, waxing, and plucking, you are not alone. These methods offer only temporary results, and they come with their own frustrations: razor burn, ingrown hairs, irritation, and the time they eat up week after week.

Laser hair removal is different. Instead of removing hair at the surface, it targets the follicle at the root, so hair grows back finer, sparser, and eventually stops coming back at all.

At Renew MedSpa, we use the Bare808 diode laser, a gold-standard technology that delivers safe, comfortable, and long-lasting results. It is one of the most satisfying treatments we offer, because the payoff is something you notice every single day.

Understanding Unwanted Hair

Why hair keeps coming back

Traditional methods only deal with the surface. Understanding why helps explain why laser works differently.

The problem with shaving and waxing

Shaving cuts hair at the skin’s surface, so it grows right back, often within a day. Waxing and plucking pull hair from the root, but the follicle stays intact and simply grows a new hair.

Neither method reduces hair over time, which is why the routine never ends. And both can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and razor burn along the way.

Where laser helps most

Laser hair removal works beautifully across the face and body, including the legs, underarms, bikini area, back, chest, arms, and upper lip.

It is a great option for anyone frustrated by regrowth, prone to ingrown hairs, or simply ready to stop spending time on hair removal for good.

The Treatment

Laser hair removal with the Bare808

The Bare808 is an 808nm diode laser, widely considered the gold standard for hair removal. It sends targeted energy into the pigment of the hair follicle, heating and disabling it so it can no longer produce hair, all while a built-in cooling tip protects your skin and keeps the treatment comfortable.

Targets the root

The 808nm wavelength is absorbed by melanin in the follicle, disabling it at the source rather than just removing hair at the surface.

Comfortable by design

A chiller-tip contact cooling system soothes and protects the skin as it works, so treatments are far more comfortable than older lasers or waxing.

A range of skin tones

The Bare808 is designed to treat a wide range of skin types safely, with settings tailored to your skin and hair at your consultation.

Setting the Record Straight

Common myths about laser hair removal

Myth

One session removes all your hair.

The reality

Hair grows in cycles, and laser only treats follicles in their active growth phase. That is why a series of sessions is needed to catch each follicle at the right time. Most people need several treatments for the best results.

Myth

Laser hair removal is unbearably painful.

The reality

Modern lasers like the Bare808 have built-in cooling that makes treatment much more comfortable than it used to be. Most people describe it as a warm snap, far more tolerable than waxing.

Myth

It only works on light skin.

The reality

Older lasers struggled with deeper skin tones, but the 808nm diode wavelength is designed to treat a wide range of skin types safely. We tailor the settings to your skin at your consultation.

Myth

Results are only temporary.

The reality

Once a follicle is disabled, it does not grow hair back. After a full series, most people enjoy long-lasting smoothness, with only occasional maintenance sessions to catch any stragglers.

Questions

Laser hair removal, answered

Because hair grows in cycles, most people need a series of treatments, often around eight, to catch each follicle during active growth. Hormonal areas like the face, underarms, and bikini are usually treated every four weeks, and other areas like the arms and legs every eight weeks. We map out the exact plan for your skin and goals at your consultation.
Most people find it very tolerable. The Bare808’s cooling tip soothes the skin as the laser works, so the sensation is usually described as a quick warm snap. It is generally far more comfortable than waxing, and treatments are quick.
Yes. The 808nm diode laser is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones safely. At your consultation we assess your skin and hair and tailor the settings accordingly. As with any laser, we will confirm you are a good candidate first.
Most areas of the face and body, including the legs, underarms, bikini area, back, chest, arms, and upper lip. We will talk through the areas you want treated and build a plan around them.
