LASER HAIR REMOVAL at Northwest Medical Arts: BBL / IPL, HALO, BARE HR, and more
BARE HR – The Fastest, Most Comfortable Laser Hair Removal in Tacoma
If you’re searching for the most powerful and pain-free laser hair removal in Tacoma, BARE HR is the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Suitable for all skin types, even tanned skin, BARE HR uses ultra-fast pulses and precision cooling to remove unwanted hair with minimal discomfort—making it ideal for larger body areas and busy lifestyles. Get smooth, touchable skin in fewer sessions with virtually no downtime.
BBL vs. IPL – Target Pigmentation, Acne, and Redness with Light-Based Therapy
While IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL (BroadBand Light) may seem similar, BBL offers a more advanced and customizable approach to skin rejuvenation. Both are excellent for reducing sunspots, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone—but BBL delivers stronger results with more precision and less downtime. It’s the perfect complement to laser hair removal, helping you achieve a flawless, even complexion.
HALO Laser – Total Skin Renewal from the Inside Out
For clients looking to go beyond surface-level improvements, HALO is our most transformative option. As the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO resurfaces skin with both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths—meaning deeper collagen stimulation and visible renewal with less recovery time than traditional lasers. It’s ideal for treating fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, and discoloration.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN TACOMA
When Will I See Results from Laser Treatments?
At Northwest Medical Arts, we know you’re excited to see smoother, clearer skin—and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. While results can vary based on your skin, hair type, and treatment choice, here’s a general idea of what to expect:
Icon List or Timeline:
BARE HR (Laser Hair Removal): Most patients see a reduction in hair growth after just 1–2 sessions, with dramatic, long-lasting results after 4–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Because it treats all skin types, it’s ideal for nearly everyone—even first-time clients!
BBL/IPL (Skin Rejuvenation): You may notice improvements in skin tone, redness, and pigmentation within 1–2 weeks. Full results typically develop after a series of 3–5 treatments.
HALO (Hybrid Laser Resurfacing): Visible results appear as early as 5–7 days after treatment, with your skin continuing to improve for weeks as collagen rebuilds. One treatment often delivers major improvement, especially for texture and fine lines.
🔬 How BBL Works
BroadBand Light (BBL) uses advanced light energy—not a traditional laser—to gently heat the skin and target pigment, redness, and signs of aging. It breaks down sunspots, collapses broken blood vessels, and stimulates collagen production for smoother, clearer, younger-looking skin.
✅ What BBL Treats:
-Sunspots & age spots
Uneven tone & fine lines
⚠️ Good to Know
Best results in 3–5 sessions
Little to no downtime
Safe for most skin types (I–IV)
Not for laser hair removal or deep resurfacing
💡 What Makes BBL Unique?
Customizable Filters: Unlike standard IPL, BBL offers multiple interchangeable filters and adjustable pulse settings. This allows precise targeting for different skin concerns and tones.
Forever Young BBL™ Mode: A specialized setting proven to change gene expression in skin cells, keeping them functioning like younger cells with regular maintenance treatments.
Minimal Downtime: Most people resume normal activities the same day, with only mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours.
⚡ How BARE HR Works
BARE HR (High-Speed Hair Removal) is the fastest, most advanced laser hair removal technology available. It uses high-powered 810 + 940 + 1060 nm diode wavelengths to target hair follicles at multiple depths, delivering ultra-fast pulses of energy while keeping the skin cool and comfortable.
The Process
Energy Penetrates Hair Follicles – BARE HR emits pulses of light that safely pass through the skin to reach the pigment in the hair root.
Hair Follicles Are Disabled – The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future hair growth.
Skin Stays Cool – Advanced contact cooling keeps the skin protected during treatment, making it safe for all skin tones, even tanned skin.
✅ Key Benefits
Painless & Ultra-Fast – Full legs or back in under 10 minutes
Safe for All Skin Types – Including deeper tones and tanned skin
Works on Large & Small Areas – Face, bikini, legs, underarms & more
No Downtime – Walk in and out with no recovery needed
✨ How the HALO Laser Works
HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single treatment. That means it targets both the surface of your skin and deeper layers at the same time—giving you dramatic results with less downtime than traditional resurfacing lasers.
The Process
Dual Wavelength Technology – HALO uses two laser types in one pass:
Ablative laser resurfaces the top layer to reduce fine lines, pores, and pigmentation
Non-ablative laser penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen and rebuild skin from the inside out. Each session is customized to your skin type and goals, balancing intensity and recovery time.
Healing & Renewal – Over the next 5–7 days, damaged skin flakes off and new, smoother, more even-toned skin emerges.
✅ What HALO Treats
Fine lines & wrinkles
Acne scars & texture issues
Enlarged pores
Sun damage & discoloration
Uneven skin tone
