Laser hair removal is a common and popular procedure – and for good reason! Unwanted body hair can be a real headache, from painful, time-consuming procedures to expensive supplies. Some methods last only a few days, with others lasting a few weeks at best.
Laser hair removal eliminates time and money spent on hair removal, along with many other benefits. You’ll be amazed at how many things improve with laser hair removal treatments; some you may not have even considered! Read on to learn more about the many benefits laser hair removal can bring to both men and women:
Healthier Skin
Perhaps the most significant benefit of laser hair removal is how it benefits your skin. Your skin is your biggest organ and it goes through a lot. Things like shaving, waxing, and even hair removal creams come with unpleasant side effects and real risks. By choosing laser hair removal, you can improve the following:
Eliminate Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs occur when a strand of hair grows the wrong way and ends up piercing back into the skin. Along with being potentially very painful, ingrown hairs can lead to more serious issues. Long-term irritation, swelling, and even infection are all risks.
Some people are more prone to ingrown hairs than others – those with curly hair, for example. However, everyone can get them.
Once your treatments are complete, you won’t have to worry about ingrown hairs anymore. Laser hair removal slows and eventually stops regrowth, and no hairs growing at all means they can’t grow the wrong way!
Reduced Hyperpigmentation
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles with a concentrated beam of light. This destroys the hair growth cells to prevent regrowth. However, this can also reverse the look of hyperpigmentation. It’s not a guaranteed cure for hyperpigmentation, but many do see significant results.
It’s not a total cure for the condition, and results can vary depending on things like skin tone and the severity of the hyperpigmentation.
Improve Acne
Acne is a common occurrence that many people struggle with, most often on the face. It can appear just about anywhere on the body though and it can be just as irritating and unsightly. Regardless of where it grows, hair can increase acne for a few reasons:
- Hair can harbour bacteria that lead to acne, making the skin more resistant to cleansing and washing.
- Oily skin can be more prone to acne, which is harder to treat the harrier an area is.
- The risk of ingrown hairs is higher the more hair you have in an area, and ingrown hairs can cause inflammation and increase the growth of acne bacteria.
Removing hair permanently removes all of these issues and risks. Smooth, clear skin is easy to clean and absorbs product properly.
Eliminate Skin Irritation
There are plenty of options for hair removal, with shaving and waxing among the most popular. While these methods are effective for short-term hair removal, they aren’t ideal solutions for a few reasons:
- Shaving can easily cause nicks, cuts, and scrapes on the skin. These can bleed and become painful. There is also a risk of infection and scarring if they are serious enough.
- Waxing can cause redness, swelling, and even burning, especially to sensitive skin.
- Shaving with fresh, sharp razors can be painful and leave skin irritated, even with no broken skin.
- Laser hair removal can improve the appearance of keratosis on the skin – bumpy, scaly patches that can become serious and even cancerous if left untreated.
- Other risks with shaving and waxing include bumps, rashes, bruising, bleeding, and itching.
Eliminate Body Odour
Lastly, laser hair removal offers one more benefit that many don’t even consider – no more body odour! Although there are plenty of products to help reduce and eliminate body odour, some people still struggle with it more than others.
Lots of hair in areas that sweat more profusely can trap more sweat for longer periods. This increases the intensity of body odour as well as the duration of it. The underarms are, of course, the biggest culprit and is a common area for permanent hair removal.
Low Maintenance
In addition to the plethora of health and skin benefits, laser hair removal offers an abundance of convenience and makes your life easier and more comfortable. These benefits include:
- The initial round of treatment takes several sessions. Once they’re finished, though, you’ll enjoy permanently hair-free skin, with only touch-up sessions required every so often.
- Once hair growth has ceased, you’ll never have to spend endless hours shaving and waxing – you’ll be free to do whatever you like with your time!
- In addition to time, regular shaving, waxing, and other treatments cost money. The individual cost each time might not be a lot, but it adds up over the years!
- The procedure is virtually painless and is very comfortable. It’s also extremely safe with no risk of broken skin or other harmful effects.
- There is no downtime or recovery needed. You can resume all normal activities immediately after treatment.
- Our laser hair removal treatments are safe and effective for all skin types and tones, you won’t have to worry about not being suitable.
