Permanent Hair Reduction in Wayzata: Reduce Unwanted Hair for Good
There are a lot of reasons patients may want to reduce body hair. Avoiding skin irritation plus saving time and energy are the most common reasons our patients visit us for permanent hair reduction in Wayzata at Vively Body Science. We offer two fantastic treatment options for laser hair removal: Forever Bare BBL and ClearHair.
Below, we discuss these treatments and how they work. We love helping educate our patients on our range of services at Vively Body Science. We are a physician-owned health and wellness clinic with over 80 years of combined medical experience as a team. Located in Wayzata, Minnesota, we serve patients from all over the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal, also known as laser hair reduction, is a method of long-term hair reduction that removes hair by killing the hair follicle at its root. This makes it so hair no longer grows, or grows dramatically lighter, thinner, and sparser. For effective results, laser hair removal requires multiple sessions.
Some of the most popular treatment areas for laser hair removal are underarms, bikini line, lip, and chin, though you can also treat the legs, arms, back, chest, and more! Laser hair removal works best on dark hair because it targets pigment (melanin) in the hair to kill the hair follicle. Darker hair has more of this and can be more effective. Lighter hair can be treated, but the results can vary. Results may range from a finer, sparser distribution of hair growth to complete removal. With light colored hair, this often results in hair that is barely noticeable.
At Vively Body Science, we typically recommend 6 to 8 treatment sessions spaced every 4 to 6 weeks to start. We then assess and determine if further treatment sessions are necessary. Most patients will see at least an 80 percent clearance of unwanted hair with this protocol.
The benefits of permanent hair reduction in Wayzata
Let’s discuss why so many patients love the results of laser hair removal.
Less maintenance
Depending on your facial and body hair preferences, it can be a lot of work to maintain hair-free skin all the time. This can be even more taxing when your hair grows back particularly fast. With permanent hair reduction, you will spend much less time (if any) to maintain perfectly smooth skin.
Less skin irritation
Other hair removal methods like waxing, shaving, tweezing, and epilation can cause unnecessary skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and bumps. Even if your skin is hair-free, it might be bumpy, itchy, and irritated, which isn’t the look you’re going for with hair removal. Laser hair removal gives you less hair with no irritation, so your skin looks silky smooth and you are more comfortable.
Increased confidence in your skin
Smooth, low-maintenance skin can give you that extra boost of confidence in tank tops, shorts, swimsuits, and more! With laser hair removal, you don’t have to worry about shaving or waxing directly before a day at the pool to have hair-free (and bump-free) skin.

Forever Bare BBL™
Forever Bare BBL uses the power of Sciton’s revolutionary BBL technology to provide comfortable and safe hair removal.
FB BBL targets specific areas of concern for both men and women, including:
- Leg hair
- Underarm hair
- Bikini lines
- Chest hair
- Back hair
- Facial hair
What it is
Forever Bare BBL uses lower fluence light pulses with a high repetition rate to evenly heat and kill hair follicles to stop hair growth. This gives the highest power and repetition rate of any light device, making it a quick treatment.
Along with being fast, Forever Bare BBL uses a thermoelectrically cooled sapphire plate to cool the skin before, during, and after treatment. The device also has multiple spot size adapters, giving us the ability to treat larger areas quickly or small areas with great precision.
Safe and comfortable
Because of the way this laser hair removal treatment works, it keeps your skin protected while quickly raising the hair follicle temperatures enough for hair removal. Because of this regulated temperature, Forever Bare BBL can treat skin tones up to Fitzpatrick skin type 5.
Our Forever Bare BBL Treatment Process
We provide customized permanent hair reduction in Wayzata for our patients. Learn about our process below 👇
Consultation
Before your treatment, you’ll meet with a member of our team of specialists to discuss your goals and how Forever Bare BBL can help. Your specialist will examine the areas of your body you’d like to treat. Based on our initial consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that reflects your desired results.
Procedure
During your procedure, your clinician will guide the handpiece to deliver lower-fluency light at a high rate onto the targeted area of your body, eliminating future hair growth and giving you perfectly smooth skin. Our patients compare the sensation to a hot stone massage with sometimes a warm, stinging feeling. Treatment time depends on the treatment area(s) and your skin and hair type.
Aftercare
After your procedure is complete, you should wear mineral-based sunscreen on any exposed body parts. Hair growth in the area treated can still be expected and you may continue to shave, but should not wax between your laser treatments. There is virtually no downtime afterward; you might experience redness that will subside within a few hours.
Most clients see the best results after 6 to 8 treatments; this usually yields an 80% or greater reduction in hair as well as significantly reduced coarseness of any remaining hair. In the days to a week following your permanent laser hair removal treatment with Forever Bare, you may see what appears to be a regrowth of hair. Most of the time, this is actually hairs shedding as a result of treatment, and they will not grow back.
ClearHair™
ClearHair is another form of laser hair removal from Sciton that selectively targets hair follicles to safely and effectively reduce unwanted hair.
ClearHair targets specific areas of concern for men and women, including:
- Leg hair
- Underarm hair
- Bikini lines and more
- Chest hair
- Back hair
- Facial hair (lip and chin)
What it is
ClearHair’s technology targets melanin while also maintaining balance between safely treating all skin types and removing hair. This technique means it can safely treat all skin types from light to dark as well as skin tanned by the sun.
ClearHair also works on all types of hair, including ingrown hairs or “shaving bumps” that cover the hair follicle.
Safe and effective
ClearHair is FDA-approved and keeps the skin protected with its cooling system during the treatment. It produces excellent permanent hair reduction results.
Consultation
First, you’ll meet with one of our specialists to discuss your goals and how a ClearHair treatment can help. Your specialist will examine the areas of your body you’d like to treat and determine how we can help. Based on our initial consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that reflects your desired results.
Procedure
During your treatment, the ClearHair device will focus energy on unwanted hair follicles, killing the hair and reducing the chance of future growth. Like Forever Bare BBL, a continuous cooling mechanism ensures your safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Aftercare
After your procedure is complete, you should wear mineral-based sunscreen on any exposed body parts. Hair growth in the area treated can still be expected and you may continue to shave, but should not wax between your laser treatments. Most clients see the best results after 6 to 8 treatments; this usually yields an 80% or greater reduction in hair as well as significantly reduced coarseness of any remaining hair.
