Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular method for achieving smooth skin without the hassle of shaving or waxing. The Sciton BareIT system is a professional-grade laser hair removal treatment at our Fort Worth, TX, practice.
If you’re considering laser hair removal for the first time, it’s natural to have many questions about the procedure. In this post, we’ll answer several of your top questions.
Can you perform laser hair removal safely at home?
Even though at-home laser hair removal devices are available, they are not as effective or safe as professional treatments like Sciton BareIT. One study comparing professional and at-home laser hair removal found the professional treatment resulted in a nearly 90% reduction in hair, while the home treatment only reduced hair by 50%.
At-home devices typically use lower energy levels and may not be suitable for all skin types and hair colors. If used incorrectly, they also carry a higher risk of side effects such as burns, skin irritation, and hyperpigmentation. The laser specialists who perform laser hair removal at Camp Plastic Surgery have extensive training using advanced equipment, ensuring optimal safety and results. For the safest and most effective hair removal, it’s best to opt for professional treatments.
How long do results last?
Laser hair removal results with Sciton BareIT are long-lasting but not necessarily permanent. Most people experience a significant reduction in hair growth that lasts several months to years. However, some hair regrowth may occur over time due to hormonal changes or other factors.
To maintain results, you may need occasional touch-up treatments. The frequency of these touch-ups varies from person to person, but many find that they only need maintenance sessions once or twice a year after completing the initial treatment series.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
People often describe the sensation during laser hair removal as a mild snapping or stinging feeling. Most people find the discomfort tolerable, and the Sciton BareIT system features advanced cooling technology that minimizes discomfort during treatment.
Our laser hair removal specialists can adjust the treatment’s intensity when treating sensitive areas, such as the upper lip or bikini line.
Does laser hair removal work for dark skin?
Yes, individuals with darker skin tones can safely undergo laser hair removal with the Sciton BareIT system. Unlike older laser technologies, modern systems like BareIT are designed to work effectively on a wide range of skin tones. It’s important to choose a provider who is experienced in treating diverse skin types. Our providers adjust the laser settings to ensure safe and effective treatment for your specific skin tone and hair color.
How much is laser hair removal?
The cost of Sciton BareIT laser hair removal can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
- Treatment area size
- Number of treatments needed
- Provider’s expertise
When evaluating the cost of laser hair removal, consider its long-term cost-effectiveness compared to ongoing expenses for razors, waxing, or other temporary hair removal methods.
