5 Reasons To Switch From Waxing To Laser Hair Removal
For decades, waxing has been a popular way to remove unwanted hair, but with some serious advancements in technology, alternatives such as Laser Hair Removal have become the preferred treatment. Although waxing definitely has its benefits, such as being able to complete the treatment in the comfort of your home, laser treatments for removing hair offer many more.
If you have been considering switching from waxing to laser hair removal but are unsure of the benefits, we’re here to help. Our specialist skin team in Essex is here to provide you with our top 5 reasons to make the switch and enjoy silky smooth skin forever more.
Our 5 reasons to switch from waxing to laser hair removal
1. save Time & money
I know what you’re thinking, laser hair removal treatments are more expensive than buying a few waxing strips from the local boots. The long-term results provide cost-effectiveness when considering laser hair removal over alternative methods. As well as temporary results, permanent results can also be achieved after a course of laser treatments if necessary. This allows you never to have to pay for hair removal again.
You will also save a lot of time choosing laser hair removal over other methods. Waxing requires repeat appointments, or if you are doing it yourself, it could be hours every month just to maintain your smooth skin. Laser hair removal is an extremely quick procedure, taking anywhere from 15 mins to 1 hour for a full body session.
2. Long-lasting results
Although compared to other methods like shaving or tweezing, waxing does provide longer-lasting, albeit temporary, hair removal. With that said, you will still need waxing treatments every few weeks to maintain smooth and hairless skin. Switching to laser hair removal can reduce the need for repeat waxing as the results last much longer and can even be permanent if you so choose.
Because laser hair removal targets hair at the follicle level by destroying the root of the hair, it takes much longer for hair to grow back. Waxing, on the other hand, only removes the visible hair and does not impact the follicle much at all, doing nothing to prevent hair regrowth.
A single laser hair removal session is not a permanent solution; however, a course of 6-8 sessions can provide permanent results for most people. Speak to one of our specialists about your hair removal goals, and they can advise on the most effective treatment for your needs.
3. Waxing can be painful, and laser hair removal is pain-free
Out of all of the hair removal options available, waxing is by far the most painful experience. Not to mention more sensitive areas such as the underarms or bikini line.
One of the reasons laser hair removal is the most popular form of hair removal is that it is virtually painless. At our beauty clinic in Essex, we only use the industry-leading Soprano Titanium laser that offers unmatched safety, comfort and results. Most people describe the feeling as a slight warmth from the intense light from the laser. This warm, sunburn feeling may continue after treatment for a day or so.
4. say goodbye to ingrown hairs
One of the biggest downfalls of traditional methods, such as waxing, is the chance of having an ingrown ahir. not only can they be painful and unpleasant to look at, they can also become infected quite easily, ruining your results.
Laser hair removal prevents this from happening by destroying the hair at the follicle, preventing hair regrowth in the same way. This allows you to avoid any issues with ingrown hairs once and for all.
5. Suitable for all skin and hair types
Finally, for those with sensitive skin or darker skin, waxing can be difficult and tiresome. Laser hair removal removes this issue as the technology used during treatment is able to effectively treat all skin & hair types & tones, priding itself in its inclusivity for all.
The innovative technology is so advanced that it can pinpoint the follicle and destroy it without impacting any of the surrounding skin.
