Sciton Inc.’s latest launch is reinventing the hair removal market. BAREit™, available on the new BARE HR™ platform, offers the fastest laser hair removal treatment on the market—and it’s effective on all skin types, any time of the year, and on any area on the body.
The Perfect Fit for a Busy Aesthetic Practice
Kathy Taranto, partner of MINT Aesthetics and AesthetiCare Medspa, a busy and successful medspa with two locations in Leawood, KS and Liberty, MO, says they realized they were missing out on some significant hair removal business and wanted to reinvest in technology to increase volume and revenue, increase patient satisfaction, and make treatments easier for their team of providers. When investing in new technology, being able to offer treatments that are fast, effective, and comfortable for patients and providers are top concerns. And the BARE HR platform checks all of those boxes. Ms. Taranto says they made the decision to invest in BARE HR to meet their patients’ needs and help increase revenue—and it’s paying off.
“When you can offer a treatment that’s faster and just as good or better than what you were offering before, your clients are happier, and you make more money. You win both ways,” she says.
Versatile and Unique Settings
With BAREit treatments, there are no restrictions on skin tones—it’s safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI—and can be used all year long, even on tan skin, making it a true workhorse for practices in any area of the county.
BARE HR offers the fastest treatment on the market, with speeds up to 3Hz, the highest peak power, and extra-large spot sizes. The platform features spot sizes of 30mm x 17mm and 30mm x 9mm compared to the competitor average of 20mm—which means BAREit can treat any area of the body in just minutes. Treatment takes just minutes depending on the area being treated, including legs, arms, bikini, back, chest, underarms, and face, a significant benefit for patients and providers who can increase their volume of hair removal patients, Ms. Taranto says.
Providers are able to choose between an independent 810nm wavelength or the unique “Blend Technology” and can select Speed or Comfort treatment modes. With either setting, patients experience an effective and comfortable treatment with cooling at 5°C from a constant contact sapphire crystal.
The 810nm diode, the gold standard for hair removal, uses 4800 watts of power and delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to reach the optimal temperature to destroy hair follicles without affecting surrounding skin.
BARE HR’s exclusive blend technology simultaneously delivers three wavelengths—810, 940, and 1060nm—for highly effective treatments of varying hair depths on a wide variety of patients. The blend setting allows for deeper penetration and low impact on epidermal melanin, a safe and effective treatment for dark and tanned skin year-round.
Satisfied Customers and Providers
“This technology is by far one of the most efficient, if not the fastest in the market,” Ms. Taranto says. “Your clients are happy, your team’s happy, and your clinic’s overall revenue is up—it makes an impact on all three of those areas.”
Ms. Taranto says patient feedback has been positive and providers in her clinics appreciate how fast and easy treatments are. “Not only do you have the hand piece running at a faster rate—instead of pulsing a pulse every second, it pulses three pulses in a second, so it’s three times as fast—the spot size is much larger, two times larger than one of our other technologies. You get a larger spot, plus faster delivery,” Ms. Taranto says. “You can treat a back with one pass in two to three minutes versus 20 plus minutes.”
BARE HR is also easy to fit into any practice—it uses a standard 110V outlet and features an easy-to-navigate touch screen.
Providers can turn on the device, choose the patient’s skin type, hair color, hair thickness, and density of hair in the treatment area to get safe start parameters. “It just gives your team so much more confidence because they are able to jump in the treatment room, push the buttons, get the settings, get to clinical endpoints, and see the client out, versus trying to adjust settings over and over again to get to clinical endpoints,” Ms. Taranto says. “Sciton has done a great job making that onboarding process very simple.”
