Laser hair removal is an excellent hair removal technique based on the principles of selective photothermolysis. This system matches specific wavelengths of light to target hair and dark areas of pigmentation without affecting surrounding tissue. The permanent nature of laser hair removal makes it the preferred choice over waxing. Here are 5 reasons why laser hair removal is better than waxing:
Unlike waxing that is a regular and repeated process, laser hair removal reduces hair permanently by up to 70 to 90 per cent with as little as 5 treatments. With each treatment, you will see permanent reduction in the amount of hair on the treated areas. Waxing, on the other hand, requires ongoing expensive treatments while the hair keeps growing back.
Ingrown hairs are a huge problem associated with waxing that can be painful and an unaesthetic appearance. Laser hair removal decreases the probability of getting ingrown hairs. That means that in sensitive areas, such as the chin or cheeks, bikini line laser hair removal delivers faster and more lasting results with no ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal is painless and comfortable. Waxing can pull at your skin and hair, causing pain. Waxing may also cause an itching sensation and irritation. The Palomar Icon System used at Ashgrove Spa uses a special cooling technology to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
Softer skin is a great benefit of laser hair removal. Neither waxing nor shaving offer more than several days of soft skin and, in the end that is the main reason why both men women subject themselves to hair removal. As the hair starts to grow back again after waxing and shaving, the skin starts feeling “hairy” again and the stubbly feel goes away very quickly. With laser hair removal the skin remains soft and smooth and the hair remaining is not as thick or dark as it used to be.
Confidence is something that neither waxing nor shaving can deliver. Laser hair removal can restore your self confidence and allow you to enjoy a happy personal, social, and professional life. Laser hair removal can have an enormous positive effect on people who suffer from excessive hair.
