Smooth. Simple. Permanent Reduction.
Unwanted hair shouldn’t dictate your routine. NOVA Bare delivers medical-grade laser hair reduction using an advanced 810nm diode platform designed for efficiency, safety, and long-term results.
Unlike commercially available Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, the 810nm diode laser used in NOVA Bare delivers a focused wavelength specifically designed to target the follicle at its depth while protecting surrounding tissue.
IPL disperses broad-spectrum light rather than a single, targeted wavelength. Because of this, energy delivery can be less precise and less predictable. In some skin types, inconsistent settings or improper use may increase the risk of irritation, pigment changes, or uneven results.
This allows for greater control, improved safety across a wider range of skin tones, and more consistent long-term reduction. At Pittsburgh Center for Plastic Surgery, laser hair removal is performed with the same precision we apply to every energy-based treatment. The focus is consistency, skin health, and outcomes that feel effortless.
A Smarter Way to Remove Hair
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment within active hair follicles. The 810nm diode wavelength penetrates to the depth of the follicle, delivering controlled energy that disrupts future growth while preserving surrounding skin. This method is much more precise than traditional methods such as waxing or tweezing, and it can be used on all skin types and hair colors.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to effectively treat follicles during their active phase. Over a series of treatments, growth becomes finer, lighter, and significantly reduced. The result isn’t temporary smoothness. It’s sustained reduction.
No More Razor Burn
NOVA Bare is built to work seamlessly alongside other energy-based and surgical treatments offered at PCPS. By improving skin uniformity and reducing chronic follicular irritation, laser hair reduction supports cleaner treatment surfaces and more predictable long-term skin behavior. This is why we may recommend Laser Hair Removal before or after other treatments including surgery, EvO™, or illumineX™ services. NOVA Bare can be used on nearly any area of the body, including:
Treatments are customized by area, skin tone, and hair density to maximize safety and efficiency.
Ditch The Razor, Get Lasered
Treatments are performed in-office and typically take between 15–60 minutes depending on the area. The sensation is often described as a quick snap of warmth against the skin. The diode platform allows for consistent energy delivery while maintaining epidermal protection. There is minimal downtime. Mild redness or temporary follicular swelling may occur and typically resolves within hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction. Most patients complete a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Hormonal areas may require occasional maintenance over time.
As growth decreases, shaving becomes less frequent, irritation improves, and skin texture appears more uniform.
For many patients, NOVA Bare becomes part of their long-term skin maintenance plan — simplifying routines and eliminating the cycle of waxing, plucking, and razor burn.
The Ultimate Smooth Solution
Laser hair removal requires more than equipment, it requires expertise and finesse. Energy levels must match skin type, hair density, and anatomical area.
Most at-home devices rely on simplified light systems designed for convenience, not customization. That often means slower results, inconsistent reduction, and the frustration of treating the same areas over and over without meaningful change.
At PCPS, we use medical-grade laser technology designed to deliver stronger, more consistent results under professional guidance, so you spend less time managing hair and more time enjoying smooth skin.
Laser hair removal may cause mild discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. Most people describe the sensation as a mild snapping or stinging feeling.
Yes. We adjust wavelength and settings based on skin type, and for deeper Fitzpatrick tones we often utilize 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology, which is designed to safely bypass surface pigment while effectively targeting the hair follicle.
Most patients require a series of 6–8 treatments spaced several weeks apart to target hair during active growth cycles. Hormonal areas may require occasional maintenance over time.
Laser hair removal provides long-term reduction. Treated follicles are disabled, but because hair grows in cycles and hormones influence growth, some maintenance treatments may be needed for optimal smoothness.
