Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
We all understand the struggle of shaving, waxing, or plucking out hair. It is tedious, and time consuming. With summer approaching, everyone wants to look their best for the upcoming bikini season, but traditional methods of hair removal in many cases can be frustrating and will only remove hair temporarily. Laser hair removal is effective, and it provides a long-term solution for getting rid of unwanted hair. While laser hair removal will not remove hair completely, it does make the new hair grow finer, lighter, and easier to maintain. There are also several other benefits to laser hair removal.
1. Treatments are quick and efficient
How many hours a week do we spend shaving, waxing or plucking out hair? Laser hair removal treatments are both quick and efficient. It takes around 20 minutes to perform treatment on underarms or the bikini area and only about an hour for arms and legs. Additionally, you will have six to eight weeks between each treatment. For optimal results, it is generally advised to attend six treatments in total.
2. You’ll Save Money
Have you ever taken the time to total up what you spend on razors, shaving cream, waxing appointments, etc? Over a lifetime, a woman will spend $1000s of dollars removing hair and most methods are very short term and time consuming. Laser hair removal treatment in the U.S. ranges from $200 to $800 per treatment and the costs for the bikini areas specifically are around $350. Interestingly, the costs of laser hair removal treatments are rapidly decreasing while the costs of waxing and razor blades are increasing. Laser hair removal takes less time, will cost you less over the long run, and will give you a much longer lasting result.
3. Eliminate Ingrown Hairs
We all know the struggle of razor burn and ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are primarily caused by aggressive hair removal such as shaving or waxing. They are most common around the bikini areas for women, and in the neck area for men. Ingrown hairs can be itchy and uncomfortable, and they can also cause infections, darkened skin or scarring. In some cases, ingrown hairs can become so painful that surgery is required to remove them. Laser hair removal does not just remove the hair, it breaks down the hair follicle, so the hair grows back thinner. Laser hair removal treatments will get rid of those ingrown hairs and help alleviate any skin discoloration caused by them. It will also leave your skin much softer than shaving or waxing.
4. You can shave between treatments
Unlike with waxing, laser hair removal allows you to gently shave in between your treatments. You are not required to grow hair back in order to attend your next appointment.
5. It’s a long-term solution
Most people see permanent, lasting results with laser hair removal. You will see a permanent reduction of hair growth and the hair that grows back will be fine and easy to maintain. You will no longer spend money or time to shave, wax, or pluck your hairs. You will enjoy of convenience of laser hair removal every time you are in a rush and no longer having to take extra time removing unwanted body hair.
