The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

When it comes to removing unwanted body hair, there are many methods such as waxing, laser, and threading among others. Laser hair removal uses laser beams to destroy the hair follicle, ensuring that there is no regrowth. But before you decide on which method to use, consider the following benefits of laser hair removal.
Semi-Permanent Solution
Because the treatment destroys the hair follicle, hair is unable to grow back so you don’t need to spend time shaving and waxing over and over again. If the hair does grow back, it usually comes in much thinner and lighter than it was previously. This means that you will have a much easier time removing the unwanted hair in-between laser appointments.
Proven to Be Safe and Effective
This procedure is FDA-approved with very few minor side effects that only last a few days. Semi-permanent hair loss can be achieved within 3-5 sessions. Many of our clients pair shaving with our treatments so that they can maintain a completely hair-free appearance.
Relatively Cheap
Even though the upfront cost seems higher than shaving or waxing, you can save a lot of money in the long run as you will not need to be treated regularly, unlike with other hair removal methods. Buying razors or wax strips can add up overtime, especially when you factor in the amount of time you spend manually removing hair.
No Ingrown Hair or Irritation
Unlike other methods such as waxing, threading, and shaving, you don’t have to put up with painful ingrown hairs and razor bumps.
You Don’t Have to Wait before Treatment
For laser hair removal treatment, you don’t need to grow surface hair, as you would with other methods. You are actually advised to shave before your next session to prevent you from scorching any of the surface hair. Waxing requires that your hair be at a certain length in order to be effective, lasers do not.
Precise and Fast
Laser hair removal specifically targets dark and coarse hairs that are right down the follicle. This fact makes it suitable for clients with dark skin tones. This treatment also takes lesser time to do due to the laser speed.
Predictability
The results of using a laser in hair removal are predictable. For example; many patients have permanent hair loss after undertaking the treatment on average from 3 to 7 times.
Available for the Entire Body
Laser hair removal is not limited to some specific body parts. It removes unwanted hair from all parts of the body. Additionally, when using this treatment, you experience less pain compared to other hair removal techniques.
