New Year Ready: Look Your Best with BareHR for Smooth Skin Before the New Year

The holiday season brings parties, celebrations, and countless photo opportunities. Getting ready for the new year and setting yourself up to start from a place of confidence means getting started now.
BareHR laser hair removal treatments offer a perfect solution for achieving smooth, camera-ready skin before the ball drops. With quick treatment times and minimal downtime, you can easily fit sessions into your busy holiday schedule.

December is the ideal time to start your laser hair removal journey. While you’re focused on end-of-year celebrations and planning for 2025, BareHR treatments can work quietly behind the scenes to give you the boost that comes with smooth, hassle-free skin.

Perfect Timing: December Is a Great Time for BareHR Treatment

When it comes to laser hair removal, timing is everything — and December offers unique medical and lifestyle advantages that make it the perfect month to begin treatments. During winter, your skin contains less melanin from sun exposure, which allows the laser to more effectively target hair follicles.

This reduced melanin level means treatments can often be performed at optimal energy settings, potentially leading to better results in fewer sessions. Additionally, your skin is naturally less sensitive during colder months, which can make the treatment process more comfortable.

The winter season provides ideal conditions for both treatment and recovery. With less UV exposure, there’s a reduced risk of post-treatment complications that can occur with sun exposure. Your skin is typically more covered during winter months, making it easier to follow post-care instructions and protect treated areas.

The cooler temperatures also help minimize any temporary heat sensation that might occur after treatment, while the increased indoor time allows your skin to heal in a controlled environment. Starting BareHR treatments in December means you’re taking advantage of these optimal conditions.

The ERASE Experience: Quick and Convenient

Fitting beauty treatments into your busy holiday schedule shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle. BareHR treatments are notably quick and efficient — most sessions take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

An underarm treatment typically takes just 10 minutes, while larger areas like legs might require 20 to 30 minutes. This means you can easily schedule a treatment during your lunch break or between holiday errands without disrupting your day.

Post-treatment care is equally convenient. Unlike waxing or other traditional hair removal methods that might leave you red and irritated for days, BareHR treatments have minimal downtime. Most clients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, with only mild warmth in the treated area that typically subsides within a few hours.

You can attend your evening holiday party the same day as your morning treatment, so there’s no need to plan your social calendar around recovery time. This quick turnaround makes BareHR particularly appealing during the busy holiday season when every hour counts.

New Year’s Ready Results

BareHR treatments deliver noticeable improvement after each session, with results that continue to develop over time. For most treatment areas, you’ll see a significant reduction in hair growth within the first few sessions. As the holiday season approaches, here are the most popular treatment areas for your New Year’s preparation:

• Face and Neck. Get photo-ready with treatments targeting unwanted facial hair. BareHR is precise enough for delicate areas like the upper lip, chin, and sideburns, ensuring you’ll look flawless in all those New Year’s photos and holiday videos.
• Underarms. Perfect for sleeveless dresses and evening wear, underarm treatments are quick and effective. Say goodbye to last-minute shaving and dark shadows under your arms, and hello to confidence in any outfit you choose for your holiday celebrations.
• Legs. Smooth legs boost confidence in everything from cocktail dresses to formal gowns. Leg treatments can be done in sections, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule while ensuring you’re ready for any holiday event.
• Bikini Area. Whether you’re planning a New Year’s beach getaway or simply want to feel your best in any outfit, bikini area treatments provide long-lasting smoothness without the irritation of waxing or shaving.
• Arms. Holiday fashions often feature sleeveless or short-sleeve styles. BareHR treatments for arms eliminate the need for constant maintenance, letting you reach for any outfit with confidence.

Facts About BareHR Results and Maintenance

To achieve optimal results from your BareHR treatments, proper preparation and aftercare are essential for both safety and effectiveness. Before and after your treatment, you should follow these key guidelines to achieve the best possible outcome:

Pre-Treatment Care

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks
• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment
• Don’t wax or pluck, as the hair follicle needs to be present
• Arrive with clean skin, free of lotions, deodorants, or makeup
• Inform your provider of any medications you’re taking, as some can increase sensitivity

Post-Treatment Care

• Avoid sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily
• Skip hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Don’t use harsh exfoliants or chemical treatments for several days
• Apply cool compresses if you experience any warmth in the treated area
• Continue your treatment schedule as recommended for optimal results

Long-Term Maintenance

Most clients require six to eight initial treatments spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results. After completing your initial treatment series, you may need occasional maintenance sessions to manage any new hair growth, but this depends entirely on your body’s reaction to the treatment.

The frequency of maintenance treatments varies by individual, but many clients find they need only one to two touch-up sessions per year to maintain their results. Continuing good skin care practices, including sun protection and gentle products, will help preserve your results long-term.
