Get summer body ready with laser hair removal
There’s nothing better than that feeling that summer is on its way. The days are longer and brighter. Our calendars are beginning to fill with plans of picnics, BBQ’s and holidays. The smell of freshly cut grass and sun tan lotion invigorate the senses and leisurely walks in the park and ice creams on the beach are all within touching distance. There’s nothing like summer to bring a fresh positive outlook on life, especially after a winter of doom and gloom.
However, as much as we all look forward to the arrival of sun and warmth, it can cause a last minute panic that we are simply not ready for the additional skin exposure that comes hand in hand with the change in wardrobe. There are many parts of our body that haven’t seen the light of day in quite some time. The hair growth that may well have kept us warm in winter now needs to be addressed before we strip down to swimwear and shorts.
For both men and women, unwanted hair can be a burden to manage and cause us to feel self conscious about certain parts of our body. Whilst there are many hair removal techniques available such as shaving, waxing, threading, and plucking, each comes with its own set of issues. This is why laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular as the ultimate solution for eliminating unwanted hair for good.
Laser hair removal vs other techniques
Shaving
Shaving is probably the most common method employed to tackle unwanted hair for both men and women. It’s a quick and easy solution that anyone can perform on themselves and there are a wide range of products available to purchase from any supermarket or high street chemist. It’s a relatively inexpensive method of removing hair, but does come with its own drawbacks.
Shaving only removes hair from the surface of the skin, which means that hair grows back quickly. This means it can become quite high maintenance, especially in summer months when trying too maintain smooth, hair free skin.
Shaving can also cause skin irritation and razor burn especially if the skin is sensitive. Irritation can lead to redness, itching, and discomfort, which is not the look that anyone wants to achieve when exposing their skin in public. It can also lead to cuts, nicks and ingrown hairs which isn’t exactly going too make you feel confident in your body.
Thankfully, laser hair removal eliminates most of these problems.
Waxing
Waxing, on the other hand, does remove hair from the root, resulting in smoother skin for longer. Since the treatment is usually performed by someone, they are able to reach some of the trickier spots that are impossible to see for yourself. Also, with regular waxing, the hair follicle weakens over time, leading to thinner and softer regrowth.
However, the process can be painful particularly for those with a low pain threshold or when done in sensitive areas. It also requires hair to be a certain length before it can be waxed, which can be a nuisance in summer when hair needs to be grown and visible before it can be removed.
Once again, when considering some of the pitfalls of waxing, laser hair removal comes out on top.
Plucking or threading
The good thing about plucking or threading hair is that similarly to waxing it removes the hair from the root, so it takes longer for the hair to grow back. It is also highly cost effective as only requires a set of tweezers or some string. It offers a level of precision that isn’t always possible with shaving or waxing as individual hairs are targeted so it can be good for shaping and definition.
However, removing hairs individually can be incredibly time consuming so it isn’t really a practical option for large surface areas such as legs or backs. There is also a level of skill that is required, especially in the case of threading to create the right lines and contours when working in areas such as eyebrows.
The benefits of Laser Hair Removal
So, as we have seen there are many flaws associated with other methods of eliminating unwanted hair. The excellent news for those dreaming of silky smooth hair free skin, laser hair removal addresses practically all of these problems.
Laser hair removal is an advanced technique that has become popular in recent years due to its long-lasting results. Laser hair removal works by emitting a laser beam that targets the hair follicle, heating and destroying it, preventing future hair growth.
It’s a non-invasive procedure that does not cause any damage to the skin.
Laser hair removal is a quick and painless procedure that can be done in as little as 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
It can be used on any part of the body and is suitable for all skin types.
- It doesn’t require the hair to be grown before treatment.
- In the long run it will be more cost effective and convenient as laser hair removal offers permanent results, meaning that the patient will not have to spend money on hair removal treatments in the future.
Speed: Laser hair removal can treat multiple hairs at once, making it a fast and efficient method of hair removal. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in minutes, while larger areas like the legs may take an hour or more.
Precision: Laser hair removal targets only the hair follicles and leaves the surrounding skin unharmed. This makes it ideal for removing hair from delicate areas such as the face, bikini area, and underarms.
No ingrown hairs: Unlike waxing and shaving, laser hair removal does not cause ingrown hairs, which can be painful and unsightly.
