When laser hair removal caught my attention over ten years ago, I thought, Aha! No more-painful vag-waxin for me! Too bad, 5 treatments and $1000 later, my hopes for a wax-less future were squashed. The hair grew back, in bits and pieces, and to me, looked worse than ever. I resigned myself to a life of pain and in-growns.
When the spanking brand new Completely Bare opened up in Beverly Hills and offered me a treatment, I said I’ll pass on the laser, thank you, and try my old stand by, the rip and ouch wax.
As my appointment neared, I thought, this is really silly of me, if I am going to report on what is known as the best laser hair removal spot across the country, I need to go for it. I figured I would at least try it on my underarms. I was still a bit non-plussed as I know it can take up to 6 treatments to really do anything, and that can add up $$$. So I wondered if it was worth it to just try one session…? I did hear tales of one laser session knocking hair out for a month, but still, I was weary. Ahh, what the heck, I decided to do a little research, reading about it on sites like Luxe Body Spa (https://luxebodyspa.com/laser-hair-removal/) and just decided to try it if only to report back on what it feels like.
Well, I’ve started saving up. In less than 10 painless minutes of laser hair removal, both underarms were done. I litereally felt nothing. And, it’s been 4 weeks, and I have no regrowth yet!! HUH?!!
Complelty Bare, owned by Cindy Barshop, a kick-ass entrepreneur and cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, knows what she’s doing. From the best laser hair removal in NYC to Beverly Hills! Now everyone can experience this amazing solution to hair growth! (Read more about her quest for hairlessness, here). She has created a hair-free mecca here. Down to an awesome product line!
The spa is under the medical direction of the brilliant Dr. Kristin Pressman, whom I have written about before and featured on Groomed L.A. several times (in fact, she’s my Bio Identical hormone doctor!! Not to mention, she does lovely conservative freezer and filler work and knows her way around a Vi-Peel!).
I am beyond sold on laser. My lord, those machines have come a loongggg way from yesteryear. My pits looks stunning. (Wow, did I just say that? Four words I never imagined saying in my life.)
So, I will start saving up and buy myself a package to completle my underarm magic. Then, it’ll be onto legs, face and lastly, bikini. Gotta save the best for last.
OH – I‘ve sent people there for wax and they’ve reported back it’s lovely.

Laser System: Laser Hair Removal is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with great results. Laser Hair Removal light targets the melanin in the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The light bypasses the skin and heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin. As long as there is some color in your hair (even blond hair has enough color), then our laser hair removal system will be effective, leaving your skin smooth and hair free.

Cindy’s Truths…
- It is less painful than a wax…
- It absolutely eliminates ingrown hairs after the third treatment …YAY!
- Yes, it is more expensive than waxing up front…but if you wax forever, not the case…
- Yes, you might need more or less than six sessions depending on the body part and because of dormant hair follicles…
- Each treatment your hair grows back finer…but on larger body parts it may grow in patchy…but soon skin will be smooth and hair-free…
- completely bare lasers treats tanned complexions…but not fresh from the beach skin…
- completely bare treats any area on your body…including your bum…
- No, lasers will not remove gray hairs…
- Your treatments should be spread out every four to eight weeks…
The specialists at completely bare advise that that you shave, in between all laser hair removal sessions to maximize post-treatment results.
***Hair removal is safe, quick and effective. Most clients report no more discomfort than a quick pinching sensation. Due to the natural growth cycles of your hair, six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart are generally required for a completely successful course of laser or IPL hair removal treatment.***
