The BBL handpiece utilizes reengineered cooling to minimize skin irritation and maximize efficiency for consistent, gentle treatment.

No pain or downtime!
Most patients report that underarm laser hair removal is less painful than other parts of the body. A warming, prickly sensation may occur during treatment for some, but this is only temporary; most report dissipating within minutes and can minimized with anesthetic cream before beginning the procedure.
Prepare for Treatment
To achieve optimal results, avoid tanning beds and sunless self-tanning products in the weeks preceding your laser hair removal session. This is especially crucial for underarm treatments since the skin here is thinner than other parts of the body and thus more vulnerable to discomfort from laser damage.
Also, refrain from waxing or plucking for one month prior to your appointment. These methods reduce the effectiveness of the laser and may cause side effects like redness or rashes. You should also shave the area that will treat two or three days before your procedure.
Arms
Arm hair can be an embarrassing obstacle to achieving your best self-image. Forever Bare BBL Laser hair removal for arms is the solution to permanently eliminate this unwanted body hair and give you back control of how you look and feel about yourself.
Ideal for anyone with excessive, thick body hair they would like to reduce or eliminate, including hypertrichosis – a condition in which men or women develop excess body hair on arms and legs – hormonal imbalances, inherited disorders, and cosmetic concerns can all contribute to the growth of unwanted body hair.
How to Achieve Laser Hair Removal from Arms
Prior to your first appointment at House of Aesthetics Med Spa, it is essential that you refrain from waxing and tweezing in the treatment area. Doing so will shield follicles from targeted by laser energy during your procedure.
You should expect some minor discomfort during your treatment, which may feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band snapping against your skin. You may given a cooling agent to help alleviate any pain.
How Long Does Laser Treatment Take?
The time it takes for laser hair removal depends on the area treated. Smaller areas like underarms or upper lip can treated in a few minutes, while larger ones like back or legs may take more time.
Once your treatments are complete, most people can observe and enjoy permanent results. However, some individuals may continue to experience hair regrowth in the treated area due to hormonal fluctuations. For optimal outcomes, a series of 6-8 treatments recommended for optimal success.
Bikini Areas
Waxing along the bikini line can be a delicate area, and waxing often leads to irritation, ingrown hairs or bumps. That’s why Forever Bare BBL laser hair removal has become so popular for this delicate area.
What are the Benefits of Bikini Laser Hair Removal?
Forever Bare BBL Laser hair removal on the bikini line offers a permanent solution to unwanted body hair, eliminating the need for endless sessions of waxing or shaving and helping reduce ingrown hairs, razor burn, chafing and skin irritation. It eliminates the need for endless sessions of waxing or shaving in one go and eliminates needless irritation due to skin irritants like chaffing and chafing.
What is the treatment process like?
Bikini laser hair removal treatments vary from person to person. Some see results after just one session, while others need a full course of 6-10 treatments for complete reduction. It all depends on your personal circumstances such as hair colour, skin type, heat sensitivity level, genetics and any underlying health or hormonal issues you may have.
Chin
Are you like many men and women who have tried various methods to remove their chin hair. Shaving, waxing or plucking are not only painful and time-consuming, but they may lead to ingrown hair along with other skin-related conditions.
Our Orange County, California medical facility offers safe and effective Forever Bare BBL laser hair removal that can dramatically remove unwanted chin hair. The laser works by targeting hair follicles with light energy converted to heat; this heat damages only the follicle itself, not damaging surrounding skin or tissue.
Results from laser treatments depend on your unique hair and skin color, and each person responds differently to laser treatments. Typically, multiple sessions are necessary for noticeable improvements; however, most people see noticeable outcomes after several sessions.
How long you must wait between sessions depends on the area treated and how many are necessary. Your practitioner can advise you on an ideal frequency; however, on average, 4 to 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart should suffice.
After treatment, the area may appear red and swollen for a few hours to days. This is perfectly normal and usually goes away within a few days.
Face
Forever Bare BBL Laser hair removal is an efficient solution to eliminate facial hair and leave your skin smooth. It offers a safe, permanent alternative to shaving, plucking or waxing your locks away.
Facial laser hair removal sessions take only minutes, but it is essential that the treatment area be clean and dry prior to beginning the procedure. Your practitioner may use either a cooling device on the tip of their hand-held instrument or apply cool gel directly onto your skin in order to protect yourself and reduce side effects.
Preparing for Facial Laser Hair Removal
Prior to your procedure, it is important to avoid all types of hair removal methods like waxing and plucking. Furthermore, make sure you stay out of the sun for several weeks before and after your treatment.
At your facial laser hair removal session, the practitioner will place a hand-held laser device onto your skin in an even pattern across the treatment area. The heat from the laser damages existing hair follicles and prevents new growth.
Your face is an integral part of your overall aesthetic, so it’s essential that the amount of facial hair on you remains as minimal as possible. Doing this will allow you to look and feel your best.
What to Expect After Your Laser Hair Removal Face Session
Following your facial laser hair removal treatment, you may experience redness that should subside after a few hours. However, if it persists, contact your practitioner. We can provide an aftercare plan which includes avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen.
Legs
Laser hair removal for legs is an innovative solution to getting rid of leg hair. It offers an alternative to waxing or shaving and helps prevent ingrown hairs.
Forever Bare BBL Full Legs Treatment
The Forever Bare BBL laser is FDA-approved for permanent hair reduction on all skin and hair colors. It works by abrading pigment in hair follicles without damaging skin tissue.
The BBL Laser has less potential risk of skin discoloration compared to other laser types, that cannot differentiate between dark skin and dark hair.
One session of BBL hair removal typically removes 75% to 95% of existing hair growth, though multiple treatments are necessary for permanent results.
Each treatment typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the area treated. You may experience a sensation similar to having a rubber band snap against your skin or feeling a hot pinch followed by cooling.
Pain During Laser Hair Removal
Pain is to expect with any laser treatment, and your provider will adjust the intensity of the laser to accommodate for any discomfort you experience during treatment. Numbing creams may help minimize discomfort, but should only use when necessary and at the lowest dose possible.
Upper Lips
Upper lip laser hair removal is one of our most sought-after treatments. For clients who don’t want to deal with waxing or shaving their upper lips, this affordable alternative will have them free from hair in just a few sessions.
The treatment utilizes selective Forever Bare BBL photothermolysis, a technique that uses light energy to destroy hair follicles while sparing surrounding skin tissue. The light absorbed by melanin pigment found at the root of every follicle.
Patients often report feeling a warm, “prickly” sensation during the procedure. Nevertheless, some experience minimal or no pain at all with the treatment.
Preparing for Laser Hair Removal
Prior and after your upper lip laser hair removal treatment, it’s best to avoid tanning or sun exposure and use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Additionally, switching to a moisturizer that contains zinc oxide can further protect your skin from further harm.
What to Expect During a Laser Hair Removal Session
An upper lip laser hair removal appointment typically lasts five to ten minutes and includes four to six treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart. While the initial treatments won’t produce much noticeable reduction in thickness, eventually these sessions lead to permanent hair reduction of up to 70-80%.
Forever Bare BBL is one of the most comfortable hair removal systems on the market, so you’ll experience minimal to no discomfort during your treatment. This is due to a handpiece that produces a warming, “prickly” sensation which dissipates quickly afterward.
Men Chest
Hair removal was once solely the domain of women, but increasingly men are turning to waxing and shaving for their manes. While these methods can make skin smooth and soft, they aren’t permanent – in fact, waxing can cause razor burns or ingrown hairs which can be quite painful.
But there’s a permanent solution: Forever Bare BBL laser hair removal! If you want to get rid of unwanted chest hair, now is the time to give this treatment a shot.
1. Bare chests enhance muscle definition
For those who take regular exercise, having a bare chest can show off all your hard work at the gym. Plus, having less skin on display makes you appear thinner and more toned!
2. It reduces body odor
Sweating absorbs body hair, creating an accumulation of unpleasant odor that most people would prefer not to smell. By laser hair removal, you can prevent this problem and have a chest free from unpleasant scents!
3. It’s more comfortable than waxing
Waxing and shaving are effective, but they can be uncomfortable. With laser therapy, a licensed laser practitioner uses a Forever Bare BBL laser that emits light to target the hair follicles beneath your skin.
4. It’s a fast and painless process
Most medical professionals use cooling devices during the procedure to minimize discomfort as much as possible. However, be aware that tans or sunburn may make the treatment more painful, leading to blisters or scabbing. To minimize these side effects, keep your chest covered when outside and avoid exposure to direct sunlight for several weeks prior to your appointment.
Laser Hair Removal Cost in Huntington Beach
The cost of laser hair removal in Huntington Beach varies depending on the area to be treated, the density of your hair, and the expertise of your provider. At House of Aesthetics Med Spa, we offer competitive pricing and package deals to make your journey toward smooth skin even more rewarding.
*For established patients only*. New patients must book a consultation to determine candidacy for laser hair removal. (Treatment can be performed on the same day if you are a candidate.)
Treatment Area | Cost per Session | Package of 8 Total | Savings per Session |
---|---|---|---|
Extra Small Area (Upper Lip) | $100 | $680 | $15 |
Small Area (Both Underarms, Partial Face, Bikini Line, Happy Trail) | $175 | $1,280 | $15 |
Medium Area (Full Face, Stomach, Brazilian) | $250 | $1,800 | $25 |
Large Area (Partial Legs, Partial Arms, Partial Back) | $350 | $2,520 | $35 |
Extra Large Area (Full Legs, Full Arms, Full Back) | $485 | $3,520 | $45 |
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
Depending on the area treated, multiple treatments may be necessary in order to achieve optimal results. On average, 8-10 (up to 12 for darker skin tones) successive treatments should spaced about 4-8 weeks apart for best results.
After several treatments, most patients don’t notice any new hair growth in the treated areas for months or even years. If any do return, they usually appear thinner and lighter in color than before the treatment.
Preparation And Aftercare
Prior to your appointment, ensure you shave. This helps the laser reach all of the hair follicles beneath the surface of the skin.
For at least six weeks prior to your appointment, refrain from waxing, plucking and self-tanning. The laser requires pigment in the hair follicles for it to focus on; so, any waxing, plucking or self-tanning will block this light from reaching it.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Lasers use heat from pulses of light to destroy hair follicles and prevent them from growing back. Forever bare electrolysis is a popular treatment for unwanted body hair in areas like underarms, legs, bikini area and upper lip.
The duration of your treatment depends on the size of the area treated. In general, treating an area such as your upper lip takes only minutes, while larger areas like backs or legs could require up to an hour for complete removal.
While laser treatment not guaranteed permanent, it does reduce the number of hair follicles in the treated area. Although some hair may grow back after a treatment, it will be lighter and finer in texture than before the procedure.
The neck is another area that many people seek out laser hair removal for. This is because the hair here can be coarse and difficult to manage with a razor, plus there are often ingrown hairs which could lead to pseudo-folliculitis.
Before your treatment, check that there is no redness or swelling in the treatment area. These side effects, known as erythema and peri-follicular edema, are usually temporary in duration and usually pass within several hours after administration of laser energy.
Common side effects of laser hair removal include itching, pink skin, redness and swelling in the treatment area. These are temporary effects that should subside on their own within a few days. It's best to avoid exposure to sunlight near areas treated with this treatment so as not to increase pigment problems in that area.
Blisters can occur, though these are much rarer in House of Aesthetics Med Spa with Sciton Forever Bare BBL advance device. If you do experience a blister, allow it to heal as you would any other blister.
Change in Pigmentation: Some individuals may observe a change in the color of their skin after laser hair removal, due to melanin absorption by higher-energy laser waves.
Paradoxical Hair Growth: Although rare, this can occur if you recently exposed your skin to the sun or had a very sun-tanned complexion before beginning treatment.
Laser hair removal is an excellent solution to get rid of unwanted body hair, but you may be wondering if it hurts. While it can be slightly stingy, it's not nearly as painful as waxing or shaving.
During the procedure, your provider presses a handheld device against your skin and activates the laser. Some people report feeling like a rubber band snapping against their skin as well as experiencing a heat sensation.
The level of pain experienced during your session will differ depending on where the hair is located and your personal tolerance. Generally, underarms and back are more sensitive areas while the face tends to be the least sore spot.
Your skin may appear red and swollen immediately following laser hair removal treatment, but you should be able to resume normal activities shortly thereafter. Applying a cold compress on the treated area for twenty minutes at a time can help reduce inflammation - one of the most common symptoms of discomfort associated with this type of procedure.
Each session uses rapid pulses to treat multiple hair follicles at once. Small areas can treat in just a few minutes, while larger ones require up to an hour for treatment.
Before your laser hair removal appointment, there are a few things you should do to prepare your skin for the treatment. Following these guidelines can help maximize both comfort and results!
Avoid Self-Tanning Before the Treatment
Tanning can make it difficult for your laser hair removal treatment to target pigment in your hair, so it is best not to tan before getting this procedure. Furthermore, tanning makes the skin photosensitive which increases your chance of burning during treatment.
Shaving Before Treatment
It recommended to shave your treatment area one or two days before the session in order to reduce the risk of burns from uprooting hair and allowing the laser to better target pigment in your locks. This helps minimize potential burns during and after the procedure.
Clean the Treatment Area Before Your Session
Prior to your appointment, ensure the treatment area is free of deodorant, lotions, creams and makeup. We suggest using a gentle cleanser before massaging your skin with water for an even finish.
Give Your Retinol Products a Break Before the Treatment
Retinol and other skincare products can dry out your skin, making it more vulnerable to irritation during laser hair removal sessions. This could result in painful or discolored skin during these procedures.
Preferably, give your retinol product a week off before the appointment to give your skin time to recover.
It's best to avoid waxing or plucking the area you plan on having laser hair removal in the weeks before your appointment. These treatments can damage the follicle, making it impossible for the laser to effectively destroy it.
Many people worry that laser hair removal causes cancer. Fortunately, lasers used for hair removal or other skin procedures don't contain UV light and aren't known to damage genetic material in cells - meaning you won't increase your risk of developing skin cancer.
Laser treatments are effective at eliminating unwanted body hair, but do not affect the skin's natural pigment. Some patients may experience temporary changes to their overall complexion after having a laser session, but this usually fades away over time.
Pregnancy can have a major impact on your body, with one of the biggest being hair growth. As your child grows and develops, you may start noticing hair in places you hadn't previously shaved or waxed; however, this doesn't have to mean the end of the world!
Treatment is most successful when the hair follicles are at their initial growth stage, which usually necessitates multiple sessions for optimal results. Pregnant women's bodies are especially prone to experiencing dormant follicles "bursting" due to hormonal changes during pregnancy; therefore, multiple sessions may be needed in order to obtain optimal outcomes.
When pregnant, it's best to wait to have laser treatments until after delivery. Your body will have adjusted its hormones and you can return to a more regular hair growth pattern after delivery.
While some may feel tempted to shave immediately after laser hair removal, this not recommended. Your skin is likely sensitive and could potentially become irritated, making it best to wait several days after your session before beginning any shaving - this way you can observe how the skin responds.
Absolutely - anyone with excess body hair can benefit from laser treatment. It is especially helpful for those with thick locks and fair skin tones.
Making the choice between laser hair removal and electrolysis is one of the most crucial decisions you'll make when trying to eliminate unwanted body hair. While they have distinct benefits, both treatments are safe, effective options that can have a significant impact on your confidence level and self-esteem.
Electrolysis: More Treatments Needed
Electrolysis can be more painful than laser hair removal due to the electrologist inserting the probe directly into your follicle. While pain levels vary depending on where it's done, many patients report feeling more discomfort than with laser removal.
Slower Process
Electrolysis is a much slower process than laser hair removal. Most patients need up to 30 treatments before seeing permanent results, though it typically takes several months for all hairs to fall out completely.
Electrolysis Can Be Highly Invasive
Due to the needle penetration into your skin, electrolysis is highly invasive and may cause bruising, scarring, or infection. For this reason, it's essential that you select a reliable clinic with experienced professionals who will properly administer your treatments.
Scabs and Ingrown Hairs
After an electrolysis treatment, it's common for the area affected to experience swelling, redness, or scabs. This indicates damage has occurred and should addressed promptly.
Cost - Electrolysis tends to be more expensive than laser hair removal.
