If you are looking for an alternative to shaving, waxing and tweezing to remove unwanted hair from your body, you may have thought about having laser hair removal. This treatment works by directing laser light beams directly at the hair follicle to slow and prevent future hair growth. You will usually need a course of treatments, the number of which will vary depending on the type of hair you have. Most people have permanent, or near-permanent, hair removal after around six treatments, with just a few top-up treatments needed as and when required.
Laser hair removal doesn’t damage surrounding skin
Laser hair removal London is a targeted treatment and – when carried out by a professional – carries minimal risks to the skin itself. This means it can selectively target the dark, coarse hairs and leave even delicate surrounding skin, such as on the underarms, undamaged. What’s more, laser hair removal is a safe treatment for all skin tones.
It’s cheaper in the long run
While there is a significantly larger upfront cost involved with laser hair removal, the fact that it can offer permanent results means that you won’t have to fork out for monthly waxing treatments. In fact, many people find that laser hair removal ‘pays for itself’ in this way over the years.
The treatment itself is quick
Laser hair removal treatments are surprisingly quick when you consider that the treatment targets each hair individually – imagine how long it would take to pluck every hair from your leg? You’ll be surprised to know that a full body laser hair removal treatment can be over in as little as two hours.
You’ll free up so much time
When you aren’t constantly having to spend time shaving or going to the beauticians in order to maintain a smooth appearance, you’ll notice that you have a lot more time to spend doing the things you actually enjoy!
The treatment can solve ingrown hair problems
Laser hair removal offers an effective solution to ingrown hairs. If you suffer from these on a regular basis, permanent hair removal can be a fantastic option. Laser hair removal can work even on ingrown hairs. This means you won’t have to worry about these painful hairs coming back, or the risk of infection involved in them again.
Your overall skin appearance can improve
Many people report having smoother skin in general after undergoing laser hair removal London. While there may be some short-term redness after each treatment, this will go away within a couple of days. Without the constant irritation involved with shaving, waxing and plucking, you’re giving your skin the chance to be the most radiant it has ever been.
The procedure isn’t too painful
Depending on how sensitive your skin is, there may be some discomfort involved in having laser hair removal. However, many people say that this treatment is less painful than a wax. You should always choose a professional, experienced therapist, who will be able to minimize the discomfort and ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment.
You don’t need to go ‘natural’ for long before treatment
Unlike with waxing treatments, where you are required to wait for a significant amount of regrowth before your hair can be removed, laser hair removal works on short hairs. In fact, if you were to go for a laser hair removal treatment with long grow-out, the hairs would be trimmed down to a few millimetres before the treatment begins.
