About Us

Essentially Bare Laser MedSpa

Essentially Bare Laser MedSpa opened in Cambridge in 1999, when laser hair removal technology became available to consumers. Over the years, we expanded our service offering to provide advanced skin clarity and correction – from physician-grade microdermabrasion and a range of chemical peels – to new laser technologies for face and neck rejuvenation, body skin tightening and the treatment of chronic skin conditions such as melasma and rosacea. 

The lasers we use for IPL (pulsed light), fractional resurfacing, and carbon laser (Spectra Peels), laser hair removal and tattoo removal are Class 4 medical devices. We also offer electrolysis as another option for hair removal.

Essentially Bare Laser MedSpa has been working with neurotoxins such as botox, and dermal fillers for more than 10 years. Our practice has always been overseen by a physician, and our experienced N.P.s and R.N.s were trained at Medical Aesthetics Associates (MAA) by Dr. Joseph Russo, Board Certified and Harvard-trained Plastic Surgeon.

At our main location in Cambridge, 777 Concord Avenue, Suite 102, we have free parking and are accessible by public transportation. We are convenient to Belmont, Watertown, Arlington, Somerville, and Waltham. The Essentially Bare Boston practice is located at 696 Tremont Street, South End (in the lower level of Spa Salina).

Our Commitment We Provide Quality Equipment & Service

When we invest in a new laser or offer a new service, it is only after intensive research and equipment testing. For example, we spent 5 years monitoring skin tightening and cellulite reduction technology and testing best-of-class equipment before investing in a laser offering this service to patients. Essentially Bare clinicians are trained using manufacturer guidelines and protocols, and they receive ongoing training.

Our Blended Methodology, Customized Treatment Plans

For some skin services, such as vascular correction, Rosacea, chronic melasma, acne scarring, etc. we may recommend a combination of treatments, depending on your individual circumstance and desired results. For any skin health plan, we will customize it based on what we believe will be most effective in treating your specific condition(s).

For example, we may suggest a series of microdermabrasion with photofacials/IPL treatments. We may recommend a spot fractional resurfacing treatment or microneedling in combination with a chemical peel. At the time of consultation, we will determine pricing for your customized plan.

Our Pricing Policy

It is Essentially Bare Laser MedSpa's policy to not offer big, prepaid packages. Every person’s skin and hair react differently to laser treatment. During your initial consultation, we will give you an honest assessment and expectations. 

We may offer a combination of cosmetic treatments, or a limited package based on the minimum number of treatments you will need. Why pay up front for sessions you may discover aren’t necessary? 

It is in our best interest (and yours) to treat patients in the most effective way, and use the best equipment to do so, because our patients often return for further services and recommend us to others. We want you to be satisfied with your treatment and the results.
