JustBareSkin Bryn Mawr

Just Bare Skin has clinics on Walnut Street in Philadelphia and on West Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr. The business has thirty years of experience removing hair and says it is a top choice among dermatologists and patients for permanent and laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is done with a Lumenis Lightsheer Duet, which pairs vacuum-assisted technology with diode laser light. It can treat any body part except the face, and popular areas include the legs, bikini line, underarms, abdomen, bottom and back. The site notes that laser works best on light skin with dark hair and may not suit darker skin, a tan, or gray, blonde or red hair. Most clients see permanent hair loss after an average of six treatments, though some need as few as three. Each treatment is paid for separately, with no packages, and a free consultation builds a plan around goals and budget. Electrolysis uses heat delivered through a fine probe to destroy hair at the root. It can be used on the face or any body part and is described as suitable for all skin and hair types. The business says electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. The electrolysis system was developed more than thirty years ago at the University City Science Center. Electrolysis consultations are complimentary, and a 30-minute session is $90 while a 60-minute session is $155.

HydraFacial MD cleanses, exfoliates and extracts using a patented Vortex-Fusion system. The treatment moves through cleansing and peeling, then extracting and hydrating, then fusing antioxidants and peptides into the skin. The site says it involves no downtime and does not cause irritation or peeling. It is listed as addressing fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, firmness, tone, texture, brown spots, oily or congested skin, and enlarged pores. The business says it is much more than a standard spa facial.

Microneedling, sometimes known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a non-surgical treatment in which fine needles make small punctures in the skin. A nutrient-rich serum is applied during the appointment. It is offered for concerns including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, acne, pits, stretch marks, scars and contractures. A course usually runs between two and six sessions, with gaps of six weeks to six months between them. According to the salon, visible results appear roughly three months after the final session. Guests who tend to get cold sores must take an antiviral medication before treatment. Pricing starts at $150.

Brow micropigmentation is a form of permanent brow tattooing done with a digital machine, using hypoallergenic pigments in a range of colors. A free, no-obligation consultation comes before the procedure. For clients who want shaping without tattooing, brows can also be shaped through electrolysis alone. Client reviews on the site describe the staff as knowledgeable, friendly and patient.

The business focuses on permanent hair removal and skin treatments, with free consultations before the more involved services and a customized plan for laser hair removal.
