You can get rid of unwanted hair using various methods such as waxing, shaving, tweezing, using hair removal creams and threading. However, your hair will grow back and you will have to go through the same tedious process over and over again.
Well, until you find out about laser hair removal. This is a process that provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair and so if you don’t want to keep on waxing or shaving, it is the way to go. You can get rid of hair on your legs, arms, bikini, face, underarms and other areas.
Here is more on why you should get a laser hair removal in 2019.
1. The procedure is fast
Laser hair treatment involves a trained member of staff at somewhere like this St Paul med spa directing a narrow beam of light on the skin. The hair follicle pigment under the skin absorbs the light and the hair is disabled from growing. The good is thing is that the laser beam or pulse can be directed at many hair follicles in a fraction of a second. Therefore, treating small areas can take a minute or less.
2. No pain
If you have done waxing or tweezing, then you know how uncomfortable it can be. However, with laser hair removal, you do not experience any pain except for the sunburn sensation you may feel immediately after the procedure and which can be countered by applying anti-inflammatory lotion or an ice pack.
3. Non-invasive
One of the closest hair removal procedures that can give you similar results to laser treatment is electrolysis. Now that is a one painful, invasive and tedious procedure in which a needle is inserted in every hair follicle one at a time to deliver an electrical charge. It can take years of treatment to achieve results.
On the other hand, laser hair removal is non-invasive since a handheld device is pressed on the skin whereby the laser beams pass through the skin and gets to the hair follicles. The heat from the beam damages the follicles.
The procedure is non-invasive and painless except for a pinprick-like sensation.
4. You get long-lasting results
While one session may not give you permanent results, a couple of Laser Hair Removal treatment sessions can assure you of a long time before the hair bothers you again and you can even get permanent hair loss.
It takes several sessions to achieve results because hair grows in stages. There is the growth stage, regression, and resting. The hair that is disabled at a given time is at the growth stage. You will be required to go for about 5 to 10 treatments so that all the hairs can be disabled although the number depends with the thickness of your hair, the growth cycle and the area being treated.
After the hair is treated, it takes about a month to fall out.
5. Precise
The pulse of the laser only targets the hair follicles. Therefore, it leaves the skin unharmed. You don’t have to worry about other parts of your skin getting damaged. The device works by releasing the laser beams only on the hair follicle and not on the other parts of the skin.
Laser hair removal is expensive, but usually does not have to be repeated. However, I don’t think I would want to do it.
This is a wonderful option to have. I know a young girl years ago who went for electrolysis on her arms. The hair bothered her that much. This probably would have bee a better option.
I’ve wanted to try laser hair removal for years. Wouldn’t it be great to just not have to worry about hair removal on a regular basis?? Yes!
Laser hair removal is expensive but a worthy investment. I like that once laser removal is done, it usually doesn’t have to be repeated. By the way, it is painful but again, worth it.
