Is Laser Hair Removal Right For You?

For fantastic, healthy-looking skin, there are many cosmetic treatments to try and an effective procedure to investigate is laser hair removal.  It’s a great alternative to constantly waxing or using razor blades on the skin and you’ll be left with a smooth complexion. 

In this blog, we’ll provide key information on laser hair removal so you can make an informed decision. 

Defining How Laser Hair Removal Treatment Works  

Treatment involves a laser light that targets hair follicles for permanent removal. The energy from the laser destroys the follicle, meaning no more hair will be produced in that area of the body.  

This process is also known as selective photothermolysis and it is selective because only the hair is targeted instead of the skin.  

What’s The Difference Between Laser Hair Removal And Electrolysis?  

Laser hair removal can be confused for electrolysis, though the two treatments are different. Electrolysis uses an electric current to target different hair follicles and the process can take a lot of time and be painful. 

In comparison, laser hair removal is unlikely to be painful and targets a greater number of hair follicles.  

What Are The Advantages Of Laser Hair Removal?  

Quick And Painless  

Laser hair removal is one of the fastest ways to get rid of hair follicles. You may be required to take multiple sessions, though each will only last a few minutes.  

It’s also far less painful when compared to other hair removal procedures like electrolysis.  

Smoother Skin  

A huge benefit of laser hair treatment is that it improves the quality of your skin. In the case of shaving and waxing, the skin can be irritated and lead to dry patches, rashes and bumps.  

With laser hair removal treatment, you won’t experience any of these issues and your skin will be smooth. 

 Get Rid Of Ingrown Hairs  

Ingrown hairs are a common skin condition that happens because of waxing and shaving. They may cause itching, redness and infection in more extreme cases.  

As laser hair removal eliminates hair follicles completely, there will be no risk of ingrown hairs in the future. 

Precision   

Laser technology is so precise that it helps to remove hair follicles from hard-to-reach areas such as the hairline, eyebrows, upper lip and more.  

What Are The Side Effects?  

The treatment is safe and though it’s rare to experience side effects, be aware of these complications: 

• Tender, red skin 
• Blistering and bruising on the skin 
• Lightening or darkening of the skin 
• Scarring and burns 
• Bacterial infections
